46 Chapter 3 Setting Up NetBoot Service

Choosing Where Shadow Files Are Stored

When a diskless client boots, temporary “shadow” files are stored on the server. You can

use Server Admin to specify which server volumes are used to store the temporary files.

To use a volume for storing shadow files:

1 Open Server Admin and select NetBoot in the Computers & Services list.

2 Click Settings, then click General.

3 In the list of volumes in the lower half of the window, click the checkbox in the Client

Data column for the volumes you want to use to store shadow files.

4 Click Save.

From the Command Line

You can also specify that a volume should be used to store shadow files using the

serveradmin command in Terminal. For more information, see the system image

chapter of the command-line administration guide.

Using Images Stored on Remote Servers

You can store boot or install images on remote NFS or HTTP servers other than the

NetBoot server itself.

To store an image on a separate remote server:

1 Create the image on the NetBoot server with System Image Utility.

When creating the image, you need to specify where to store the image. To specify

where to store the image on a remote server:

a In System Image Utility, click General.

b Click NFS or HTTP.

c Click Remote.

d In the sheet that appears, provide the required information.

If storing images on an NFS server, provide the host name or IP address of the server,

the path of the mount point (NFS Export), and the path to the image relative to the

mount point.

If storing images on an HTTP server, provide the host name or IP address of the

server, the path to the image (the path of the root disk image relative to the .nbi

directory), a username and password for accessing the image, and a port number.

The NetBoot server assumes that the .nbi directory under NetBootSPn is exported via

HTTP using the following convention:

Warning: Don’t rename a NetBoot share point or the volume on which it resides.

Don’t use Workgroup Manager to stop sharing for a NetBoot share point unless you

first deselect the share point for images and shadow files in Server Admin.
