Chapter 4 Setting Up Clients to Use NetBoot and NetInstall Images 59

Changing How NetBoot Clients Allocate Shadow Files

By default, a Mac OS X NetBoot client places its shadow files in a NetBootClientsn share

point on the server. If no such share point is available, the client tries to store its

shadow files on a local hard disk.

For Mac OS X v10.3 and later images set for diskless booting, you can change this

behavior by using a text editor to specify a value for the NETBOOT_SHADOW variable in the

image /etc/hostconfig file.

These values are permitted:

Note: This value is set in the /etc/hostconfig file in the image .dmg file, not in the

server hostconfig file.

Value of NETBOOT_SHADOW Client shadow file behavior

-NETWORK- (Default) Try to use a server NetBootClientsn share point for storing

shadow files. If no server share point is available, use a local drive.

-NETWORK_ONLY- Try to use a server NetBootClientsn share point for storing shadow

files. If no server share point is available, don’t boot.

-LOCAL- Try to use a local drive for storing shadow files. If no local drive is

available, use a server NetBootClientsn share point.

-LOCAL_ONLY- Try to use a local drive for storing shadow files. If no local drive is

available, don’t boot.
