This dialog box displays each default work directory that is used during remote installation of the relay system or client. Changing a directory and then clicking the OK button displays the Specify Work Directories dialog box again. If you change these default work directories, set a directory for each purpose. Do not use those directories for any other purposes.

Figure 3-10 Change Work Directories dialog box

Work directory for remote installation

This directory is used by the relay system or client for installing packages. It requires the same amount of space as any package that is to be installed. Normally, you should specify a directory with at least 50 MB of free space.

Backup directory used for recovery when installation fails

This directory is used for saving a backup of software to be remote-installed by the relay system or client.

Work directory for remote file collection

This directory retains the collected files that are collected by executing a Collect files from client to relay system job until the managing server executes an Acquire collected files from relay system job or a Delete collected files from relay system job. This information is not displayed for Client.

Directory used for storing relayed packages

This directory is used by the relay system to store packages. This directory retains packages that are transferred from the managing server until they are automatically deleted due to the Package expiration at the relay system. This information is not displayed for Client.

You can change the drive of the work directory for installing Hitachi program products (NETMDMWK directory). Clicking the OK button after specifying the settings displays the Specify Work Directories dialog box again.

Drive to create the work directory used for installing the Hitachi program product

Select the drive in which you wish to create the directory used for installing Hitachi program products. The NETMDMWK directory is created directly under the selected drive. Do not specify a network drive; if a network drive is specified, operations cannot be guaranteed.

Delete the created work directory after the Hitachi program product is installed.

You can choose whether or not to delete the directory after the Hitachi program product has been installed. To delete the directory, select the Delete the created work directory after the Hitachi program product is installed check box. This option is selected as the default. The following points should be noted about selecting the Delete the created work directory after the Hitachi program product is installed check box:

• In Windows NT, you must have the appropriate permissions to read, write, and delete the created drive in order to select the Delete the created work directory after the Hitachi program product is installed check box. If these permissions have not been granted, installation of a Hitachi program product will fail.
• Even though the Delete the created work directory after the Hitachi program product is installed check box has been selected, the NETMDMWK directory may remain after installation. In such a case, the directory will be deleted when the computer is restarted or during polling.
