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 NetBoot 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.

Step 3: Set up DHCP

NetBoot requires that you have a DHCP server running either on the local server or

another server on the network. Make sure that you have a range of IP addresses

sufficient to accommodate the number of clients that will be using NetBoot at the

same time.

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.

Step 4: Configure and turn on NetBoot service

You use the NetBoot settings in Server Admin to configure NetBoot on your server.

See Chapter 3, “Setting Up NetBoot Service.”

You turn on NetBoot service using Server Admin. See “Starting NetBoot and Related

Services” on page 44 and “Enabling Images” on page 45.

Step 5: Set up Ethernet address filtering (optional)

NetBoot filtering is done by client computer hardware address. Each client’s

hardware address is automatically registered the first time the client attempts to start

up from a NetBoot disk image. You can allow or disallow specific clients by address.

See “Restricting NetBoot Clients by Filtering Addresses” on page 49.

Step 6: Test your NetBoot setup

Because there is risk of data loss or bringing down the network (by misconfiguring

DHCP), it is recommended that you test your NetBoot setup before implementing it on

all your clients. You should test each different model of Macintosh that you’re

supporting. This is to make sure that there are no problems with the boot ROM for a

particular hardware type.

Step 7: Set up all client computers to use NetBoot

When you’re satisfied that NetBoot is working on all types of client computers, then

you can set up the client computers to start up from the NetBoot disk images.
