Astaro Smart Installer Images

There are two revisions of the Astaro Smart Installer software and both provide identical functionality. Please note that you will only be able to write a specific software version to your USB stick depending on the model's production date. Version 2 models can be identified by the hole in the cap.

Burning to the ASI

• STEP 1: Download the latest imaging package for ASI for the desired use product (above).
• STEP 2: Connect the ASI to a Windows computer containing the imaging package.
• STEP 3: Extract the archive and run the ASI.exe application
• STEP 4: Use the newly imaged ASI to install on the target platform, as described below.

Installation Steps

• STEP 1: Make sure the target Astaro device is powered off.
• STEP 2: Insert the Astaro Smart Installer into a free USB port on the target device.
• STEP 3: Power on the target device.
• STEP 4: Wait for the installation to finish. The use of the ASI to install on to an ASG Software Appliance requires the hook up of a monitor and keyboard to follow the on-screen installation steps and complete them accordingly. Appliance installs are unattended, however the use of a monitor is recommended so as to be aware when the installer has completed.

Please Note - This operation will completely erase your existing configuration (Rules, Logs, Policies, etc...)! If you wish to restore your previous configuration, please ensure you have a suitable backup file prepared to restore into the installation.
