Â System Image Utility: to create Mac OS X boot and install disk images. Installed with

Mac OS X Server software in the /Applications/Server folder.

Â Server Admin: to enable and configure NetBoot service and supporting services.

Installed with Mac OS X Server software in the /Applications/Server folder.

Â PackageMaker: to create package files that you use to add additional software to disk

images. PackageMaker is installed into /Developer/Applications/Utilities by the

Xcode installer, provided with Mac OS X client software.

Â Property List Editor: to edit property lists such as NBImageInfo.plist. Proper List Editor

Inside NetBoot

This section describes how NetBoot is implemented on Mac OS X Server, including

information on the protocols, files, directory structures, and configuration details.

Disk Images

The read-only disk images contain the system software and applications used over the

network by the client computers. The name of a disk image file typically ends in “.img”

or “.dmg.” Disk Utility—a utility included with Mac OS X—can mount disk image files as

volumes on the desktop.

You use System Image Utility to create Mac OS X disk images, using a Mac OS X install

disc or an existing system volume as the source. See “Creating a Mac OS X Boot Image”

on page 29.

NetBoot Share Points

NetBoot sets up share points to make images and shadow files available to clients.

NetBoot creates share points for storing boot and install images in /Library/NetBoot on

each volume you enable and names them NetBootSPn, where n is 0 for the first share

point and increases by 1 for each additional share point. If, for example, you decide to

store images on three separate server disks, NetBoot will set up three share points

named NetBootSP0, NetBootSP1, and NetBootSP2.

The share points for client shadow files are also created in /Library/NetBoot and are

named NetBootClientsn.
