30 Chapter 2 Creating Boot and Install Images
5 In the General pane, type a name for the image you’re creating.
This name will identify the image in the Startup Disk preferences pane on client
computers.
6 In the image index field, type an Image ID.
To create an image that is unique to this server, choose an ID in the range 1–4095.
To create one of several identical images to be stored on different servers for load
balancing, use an ID in the range 4096–65535. Multiple images of the same type with
the same ID in this range are listed as a single image in a client’s Startup Disk
preferences panel.
7 (Optional) Type notes or other information that will help you characterize the image in
the Description field. Clients can’t see what you type.
8 Choose whether the image is to be delivered using NFS or HTTP. If you’re not sure
which to choose, choose NFS.
9 To serve the image on the server on which you’re creating the image, choose Local.
10 (optional) To store the image on a remote computer and offer it via NFS or HTTP click
Remote.
 (remote service only) To deliver the image to users via HTTP on a remote server,
complete the path with the remote server’s host name, the HTTP user name, and
password used to access the file. Complete the entry by providing the port used to
access the HTTP server (typically port 80).
 (remote service only) To deliver the image to users via NFS on a remote server,
complete the path with the IP address, image path where the file will be stored on
the server, and the NFS export setting (client, world, or subnet).
Important: System Image Utility will create the actual image on the local server.
By completing the information requested in the path pane, an indirect NFS or HTTP
path will be created for your image. Once you create the image, the admin user of the
remote server must copy the image to and serve it from the exact remote path you
specified.
11 Click Contents and choose the source for the image.
You can choose an install CD or DVD, a mounted boot volume, or an existing disk
image. If you’re creating the image from CD or DVD, be sure it is inserted.
If you’re creating a Mac OS X v10.4 NetBoot image, System Image Utility creates a
minimal boot image. Similarly, if creating a Mac OS X v10.3 NetBoot image, System
Image Utility creates a minimal boot image and will only use the first 2 CDs. If creating
a Mac OS X v10.2 NetBoot image, however, the resulting image will contain everything
in the installation CDs.
If you don’t want a minimal boot image, click Customize.
