Chapter 3 Setting Up NetBoot Service 51

3 If you’ll be booting diskless Mac OS X clients, start AFP service by selecting AFP in the

Servers list and clicking the Start Service button (below the Servers list).

4 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.

5 From the expanded Servers list, select NetBoot.

6 Click Settings, then click General.

7 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.

8 Click Images.

9 Select the images to serve.

10 Click Save.

11 Click the Start NetBoot button (below the Servers list).

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 Command-Line Administration.

Managing Images

After you set up NetBoot service, you can use Server Admin and the System Image

Utility to customize and manage images for your network environment.

Enabling Images

You must enable one or more disk images on your server to make the images available

to client computers for NetBoot startups.

To enable disk images:

1 Open Server Admin and connect to the server.

2 Click the triangle to the left of the server.

The list of services appears.

3 From the expanded Servers list, select NetBoot.

4 Click Settings, then click Images.

5 For each image you want your clients to see, click the checkbox in the Enable column.

6 Click Save.
