Editing Images
When you edit images, System Image Utility gives you the option to back them up.
To edit an image:
1 Open System Image Utility and click Images.
2 Select the image in the list and click Edit.
System Image Utility prompts you whether you want to back up the image. You can
back up the image to any drive on your computer.
3 When you’re done editing, click Save.
Specifying the Default Image
The default image is the image used when you start a client computer while holding
down the N key. See “Starting Up Using the N Key” on page 52. If you’ve created more
than one startup disk image, you can use the NetBoot service settings in Server Admin
to select the default startup image.
Important: If you have diskless clients, set their boot image as the default image.
If you have more than one NetBoot server on the network, a client uses the default
image on the first server that responds. There is no way to control which default image
is used when more than one is available.
To specify the default boot image:
1 Open Server Admin and select NetBoot in the Computers & Services list.
2 Click Settings, then click Images.
3 Click the checkbox in the Default column next to the image. You can select separate
default images for Intel-based and PowerPC-based Macintosh computers. The
architecture column displays the image type.
4 Click Save.
From the Command Line
You can also specify the default image using the serveradmin command in Terminal.
For more information, see the system image chapter of the command-line
administration guide.
