Installation
eLux® can be installed directly on a device’s flash memory or on a hard disk. The installation procedure is a kind of recovery installation and can be performed in two ways:
-
from USB stick: For all supported operating system versions, we provide an eLux USB Stick image, available for download on our myelux.com portal and suited to create a stick for installation.
-
via PXE recovery: For large environments, PXE-capable devices can be installed through the network if the eLux software container and Scout Enterprise Management Suite® are already installed.
Both procedures are described in detail in our short guide eLux Recovery procedures.
Installation in a VM
eLux can be installed in a VM (Virtual Machine). Depending on the virtualization solution, specific settings need to be activated.
Note:
It is recommended to use at least 16 GB of storage. The eLux ISO image needs to be mapped as a drive for the installation.
