Â Number of Ethernet ports on the switch: Distributing NetBoot clients over multiple

Ethernet ports on your switch offers a performance advantage. Each port must serve

a distinct segment.

Serial Number Considerations

Before starting the NetBoot service, make sure that you obtain a site license for the

images you intend on serving. The license covers all the NetBoot images served from a

particular server. For every additional server, you need to obtain a site license to

provide NetBoot service. Contact Apple to obtain site licenses.

If you plan on serving Network Install images for installing Mac OS X and Mac OS X

Server, also make sure that you have a site license.

If you plan on serving Network Install images for installing Mac OS X Server, you can

use the Mac OS X Server Assistant to generate a setup file that you can add to the

Network Install image so that the server knows how to configure itself automatically.

If you use a generic file, you’ll have to enter the serial number manually using Server

Admin.

Setup Overview — NetBoot

Here is an overview of the basic steps for setting up NetBoot service.

Step 1: Evaluate and update your network, servers, and client computers as

necessary

The number of client computers you can support using NetBoot is determined by the

number of servers you have, how they’re configured, hard disk storage capacity, and

other factors. See “Capacity Planning” on page 24.

Depending on the results of this evaluation, you may want to add servers or hard disks,

add Ethernet ports to your server, or make other changes to your servers. You may also

want to set up more subnets for your BootP clients, depending on how many clients

you support.

You may also want to implement subnets on this server (or other servers) to take

advantage of NetBoot filtering. See “Restricting NetBoot Clients by Filtering Addresses”

on page 49.

If you plan to provide authentication and personalized work environments for NetBoot

client users by using Workgroup Manager, you should set up workgroups and import

users from the Mac OS X Server Users & Groups database before you create disk

images. Make sure you have at least one Macintosh Manager user assigned to the

Workgroup Manager for Mac OS X clients.
