NetBoot 535
Managing NetBoot
This section describes how to manage the ongoing use of a NetBoot installation.
Turning Off NetBoot
The best way to prevent clients from using NetBoot on the server is to disable NetBoot
service on all Ethernet ports.
Note: You can also stop NetBoot by disabling all disk images on the server.
To disable NetBoot on Ethernet ports:
1 Open Server Settings and click the Network tab.
2 Click DHCP/NetBoot and choose Configure DHCP/NetBoot.
3 Click the NetBoot tab and make sure no Ethernet ports are selected.
Disabling Disk Images
Disabling an image prevents client computers from starting up using the image.
To disable a NetBoot disk image:
1 In Server Settings, click the Network tab.
2 Click DHCP/NetBoot and choose Configure DHCP/NetBoot.
3 Click the Image tab.
4 Select an image and deselect the Enable checkbox.
Monitoring the Status of Mac OS X NetBoot Clients
Server Status lets you monitor all services on a Mac OS X server.
To monitor NetBoot service:
1 In Server Status, locate the name of the server you want to monitor in the Devices & Services
list and select DHCP/NetBoot in the list of services under the server name.
If the services aren’t visible, click the arrow to the left of the server name.
2 Click the Overview tab to see if DHCP/NetBoot is running.
3 Click the NetBoot Clients tab to see a list of client computers that have started up from the
server, the hardware addresses of the clients, and the clients’ system type.
Note: This is historical information—a list of clients that are currently connected or have
connected in the past. It is not a list of currently connected clients only.
