The following details the integration and setup of CCDisk with CCBootCloud, outlining configuration steps, system requirements, and transition procedures for enhanced cloud management. Since August 24, 2023, CCBootCloud has supported the CCDisk function. Starting April 20, 2024, CCBootClient will support the CCDiskClient function.

Switch CCBoot to CCDisk

  1. Open cloud panel
  2. Go to settings -> Center settings -> CCDisk mode (Figure 1)
    a.Enable = CCDisk is enabled
    b.Disable = CCBoot is enabled (this will switch CCDisk to CCBoot)

Install Client

  1. Please ensure that each client PC has a unique static IP address and a distinct PC name. Otherwise, the CCBoot server will not recognize it. Do not change from a static IP to an automatic IP; always keep it set to static.
  2. Once you have downloaded the CCBootCloud file, double-click on it to start the setup. This action will open the setup window for CCBootClient. From there, select the “CCBoot Client installation” and click next to begin the installation process.(Figure 9)

  1. And now the installation is complete.
  2. When the client virtual disk is ready, ccbootclient.exe will execute C:\CCBootClient\DiskIsReady.bat. You can manually create the batch file and rename it to DiskIsReady.bat to add your own scripts for execution.
