Payloads are assigned to Machines to be processed by the LSM RAM Agent.

 

Payloads can have up to 9 Stages. Stages can be:

•Snapshots, and/or

•Scripts (LSM RAM Agent Scripts, which in turn can place files/scripts on the Target OS disk of your Windows or Linux system)

Notice your 2 Payload Stages. Now Return to Payloads List:

 

 

 

Observe your newly-added Payload in the Payloads List:

 

 

 

Your Payload can now be assigned to a registered Machine:
