44 Chapter 3 Setting Up NetBoot Service
From the Command Line
You can also configure NetBoot service using the serveradmin command in Terminal.
See the system image chapter of the command-line administration guide.
Starting NetBoot and Related Services
NetBoot service uses AFP, NFS, DHCP, Web, and TFTP services, depending on the types
of clients you’re trying to boot (see “Network Service Requirements” on page 24).
You can use Server Admin to start AFP, DHCP, Web, and NetBoot. NFS and TFTP start
automatically.
Note: NetBoot does not start automatically after server restart when you enable
NetBoot service in the Setup Assistant when you first install the server software.
Only the required share points are set up.
To start NetBoot service:
1 Open Server Admin.
2 If you’ll be booting diskless Mac OS X clients, start AFP service.
Select AFP in the Computers & Services list and click Start Service.
3 If your server is providing DHCP service, make sure the DHCP service is configured and
running. Otherwise, DHCP service must be supplied by another server on your network.
If your NetBoot server is also supplying DHCP service, you might get better
performance if you configure your server as a gateway. That is, configure your subnets
to use the server’s IP address as the router IP address.
4 Select NetBoot in the Computers & Services of Server Admin.
5 Click Settings.
6 Select which network ports to use for providing NetBoot service.
You can select one or more network ports to serve NetBoot images. For example, if you
have a server with two network interfaces, each connected to a network, you can
choose to serve NetBoot images on both networks.
7 Click Images.
8 Select the images to serve.
9 Click Save.
10 Click Start Service.
From the Command Line
You can also start NetBoot and supporting services using commands in Terminal.
For more information, see the system image chapter of the command-line
administration guide.
