Chapter 1 About System Imaging Administration 27

You can use the client computer’s Startup Disk System Preference pane to select a

startup disk image from the server, then restart the computer. See “Selecting a NetBoot

Boot Image” on page 51. Or, you can restart the client computer and hold down the N

key until the NetBoot icon starts flashing on the screen. The client starts up from the

default image on the NetBoot server. See “Starting Up Using the N Key” on page 52.

Setup Overview — Network Install

Here is an overview of the basic steps for setting up Network Install 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.

Step 2: Create disk images for client computers

You can set up Mac OS X disk images for client computers to start up from. To create

Mac OS X disk images, you use System Image Utility. See “Creating a Mac OS X Boot

Image” on page 29.

You may also want to restrict access to Network Install images by using Model Filtering.

See “Creating an OS Install Image” on page 35.

To create application packages that you can add to an image, use PackageMaker.

Application software packages can be installed by themselves or along with Mac OS X

system software. See “Creating Packages” on page 38.
