Error Creating NetBoot Image in OS X Server 10.4.9 (PPC)

I am new the the world of servers and OS X Server so forgive my ignorance. I have been trying to create a NetBoot image in OS X Server 10.4.9 (from a disk image of Mac OS X 10.4.6 for Power PC) and it has failed every single time, with varying amounts of a NetBoot image--none bootable--appearing in the share point. I have tried installing on the server and remotely from an administrator computer and it has never worked. I have followed the directions to the letter in the documentation and I still have two servers that have yet to serve anything. Is there some basic concept or tenet concerning making network boot images from OS X disk images that eludes me? Is it simply a hardware issue (the servers are G3s but supposedly Server 10.4 can be installed on a PowerMac G3 (they're decently equipped with RAM and SCSI drives).
Sidebar: if I have a server running OS X Server 10.2, do all the client computers have to run Jaguar as well? Told you I was new to this.
MacBook Pro 2.33/3GB/120GB Mac OS X (10.4.9) PowerMac G4 FW800, 16 b&w PowerMacs G3; TiBook G4

Well it looks like that question was deemed to lowly to answer. Luckily I found out for myself that SCSI and certain video cards can impede the smooth installation of OS X Server 10.4 and that one should use the installed in the Other Installs folder and not set the CD as the startup disk to avoid these incompatibilities.

Netinstall error: There was an error creating the image

I am using Mac OS X Server 10.4.11 and trying to create a NetInstall Image using the System Image Utility 10.4.11. The .dmg image that I am using is a Mac OS X 10.5.6 version. After completing all the steps in Sys Image Itil it iteventually gives me the following error: There was an error creating the image.
And indicates: error creating image and when I use this NetInstall image the client goes in an eternal reboot.
It is very frusterating since I was able to make a netinstall image using a dmg from a Mac OS X 10.4 version and I was able to do a complete successful Netinstall. Anybody knows why and how to solve this error.

Hi
Mount the .dmg and launch SIU. If it's a valid image it should appear sandwiched between Sources and Workflows. Same process for a client mac connected via firewire or a bootable Installer Disk. Click on it and select NetInstall or NetBoot depending on what you want. You should be presented with Apple's EULA, click Yes/OK and save it to the appropriate folder assuming you've done the necessary in Server Admin. The Admin Manual is actually not too bad:
http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/SystemImaging_and_SW_Update_Adminv10.5.pdf
No need to worry about index numbers either as it does it all for you. It's actually a lot easier than 10.4. Bear in mind if you want to customize the image you have to do it at this stage. You can't go back and edit/customize the nbi once it's created.
You might want to consult the other documentation available for 10.5 Server here:

System Image Utility 10.6.3 - fails when creating NetBoot image from DVD

System Image Utility 10.6.3, trying to create a NetBoot image from a bundled installer disc that came with a 27" Late 2009 iMac (iMac11,1). Image creation fails consistently, since the image that System Image Utility creates is only 901M.
Anyone see this before?

Hi Don, here's my guess...
The 901 number is additional space added in the scripts. This indicates that the source image size was 0.
Since you are making a NetBoot from Install media, under the covers the installer process is being run to create a NetBoot volume. The media shipped with the 27" iMac is most likely CPU specific and thus the installation fails because you are trying to create the image (i.e. install the system) on an unsupported CPU.
In order to produce a NetBoot from the install media, you'll have to create it on the 27" iMac.
Hi Brian,
Thanks for the response. This makes perfect sense. I'll give this a try and shout back!

NetBoot Images Not Recognized by Server

I can use SIU to create NetBoot images from my install package just fine. They end up in the Library/NetBoot/NetbootSP0 directory. But the Server NetInstall images pane tells me that "No images available" regardless of where I place them. The client sharepoints are available in the File Share service. I've followed the instructions from multiple sources (the all say essentially the same thing) to no avail.
Now I'm just stuck. This should be working, but I can't figure out what I'm missing.

I'm not sure if I am answering the correct question or not...
And my experience was on 10.6.8 server, with NetRestore rather than NetBoot. Nevertheless I'll mention what I found in case it is helpful as they are very nearly the same process.
I had awful problems in the past getting the whole process to work, it seems that it matters which machine you use to do the imaging. What I found worked was to:
- clone the disc you want to image onto a USB disc. I can't remember what I used to do this, would have been either ditto or SuperDuper! (I found in the past that CarbonCopy Cloner worked less well)
- plug the USB disc into the server and run Disk Image Utility on the server
For me this was the "Eureka" moment that made the whole thing suddenly work.
Also I should mention that I found that it matters which network switch you use. A TPLink switch didn't pass something that was needed for the NetRestore process to work, whereas an HP Procurve switch worked fine.

Failed (why else would I post). Error creating an image of Drive D:, rc = 2. Return Code -2147467259 0x80004005. "Not enough storage is available to process this command".

Seems a common set of Return Codes to post so apologies that's not specific.
To me appears the issue is related to the "Not enough storage is available to process this command" log entry. Looked into it and some SCCM 2007 issues that were related to too many sessions to the site server, but even after rebooting my MDT server
I get the same issue.
The server I am attempting to capture has a 60gb VHD with around 30gb actually used. The MDT Server has over 100GB free space.

Error creating an image of Drive C:, rc =2

Hello, as mentioned in the subject line above, I get the following error when trying to capture an image of my reference computer:
Error creating an image of Drive C:, rc =2
ZTI Error - Non Zero return code by ZTIBackup, rc=2
ZTI ERROR - Non-zero return code by LiteTouch, rc = -2147467259
I've looked at other threads and tried suggestions such as adding the "Set Image Folder" / "Set Image Name" into the Task Sequence, but it solved nothing.
I am running Windows 7 Professional x64 and capturing from a server running MDT 2010.
Would there be anything else that would cause this?

Mountain Lion Server cannot create NetBoot images for earlier systems

I'm trying to create a NetBoot image for OS X Lion on my Mountain Lion Server using System Image Utility, but SIU shows the 10.8 installer as the only available disk for creating an image.
The same 10.7 boot disk is shown as source correctly in Lion Serevr SIU.
Does SIU limits the creation of NetBoot image only for the same OS X version or am I missing something?
Ideas?
Thank you!

Yes. SIU for Mountain Lion only makes images of Mountain Lion.
To make images for Lion, you'll need to download the Server Essentials package for 10.7.5 and install it onto a Lion system.

Creating SL Images on OSX Lion Server

I have a 2011 Mac Mini with Lion Server.
What is the best way to create Snow Leopard netboot / netinstall images from OS X Lion?
I tried using System Image Utility, but Lion Server will not recognize any Snow Leopard disk.
I have tried a number of different SL grey install discs, and the 10.6.3 retail...but Lion Server will not recognize these to create a netboot / netinstall image.
Thank you for any assis

Hi
Download the Server Admin Tools from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1457
These are not installed when installing Lion and then Server App. Once installed launch Server Admin, click on the Server's name in the side panel, click on Settings > Services and enable the DHCP Service. Once enabled it should appear in the side panel. The rest should be fairly obvious?

Error creating a new VM on OVM Server using 'xm create'

Hi,
I'm trying to create VM using an existing config file bundled with the OVM distribution, like "xmexample1". I've also ensured that all the entries in it, such as, reference to the kernel image, etc. are correct. However, when I run the command
xm create xmexample1
it fails with the following error
Error(<domain-uuid>, "VM_Metrics")
I noticed that another user had a similar issue, but he was running into it occassionally. However, I'm running into it consistently. Any suggestions on how to solve this?
Thanks,
- Nitin

Do you have ULN access? If so, you should run up2date on your Oracle VM server to get the latest version of ovs-agent. That has far more sensible error messages instead of the "vm_metrics" thing. Otherwise, check /var/log/ovs-agent/ovs_operation.log or xend.log to see if you can find anything more specific.

Error creating VM on Hyper-V Windows server 2012 R2 (0x80070569).

I recently installed in my domain a member server 2012 r2 with Hyper-V Role, and got the following error when creating a new vm:
Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.(0x80070569).
The user is momber of Domain Admins group and is logged on the server. I noted that the domain admins group has not the right "log on as a batch Job". Is this right required to create vm ? What are the others requirements to install and admin virtual
machines in Hyper-V?

Hi Claudio,
"As Microsoft recommended 'best practice' for Hyper-V servers is to not install any additional Roles or Features that do not specifically support virtualization. As an example, in a Hyper-V Cluster, the Hyper-V Role and the Failover Clustering feature are
installed to support highly available virtualized workloads. Hyper-V hosts play a critical role in an organizations' virtualization strategy. Microsoft recommends that the Hyper-V servers be managed in a separate OU in Active Directory (if they are domain-joined).
Only group policies that apply specifically to Hyper-V host machines should be applied to this OU. This minimizes the risk of a policy conflict affecting the proper functioning in a Hyper-V host. "

Multiple NetBoot Images on one netbot server

Hi
We have a range of machines in our office and im trying to setup our licensed snow leopard server.
At present when i plug in a disk it only sees the 10.6 image ive setup and refuses to see the 10.5, 10.7 and 10.8 base images ive got which ic annoying.
Any ideas as to how i get the System Image utility to image the base systems so i can serve them to our machines?
We have some PPC machines stil and a load of old and new Intel machines.
Im also trying to create the netrestore images as well as i have a load of sparseimage backups for the images i want to restore, any idea how to image these into the Netrestore format?

System Image Utility only creates images of the OS it is installed on. To make images of 10.5 and 10.7 you will need to install the Server Admin tools on an appropriate system to create images. For 10.8, System Image Utility is installed in /System/Library/CoreServices on all systems.
To make NetRestore images from the sparse images, mount them as a volume and make a NetRestore from the volume.

"Perfect" System for Creating Netboot Images?

I'm looking for recommendations on the "perfect" system to use when creating images for Netboot and NetRestore. The machines on the network currently include new "iSight" G5s down through tower and "igloo" G4s, but nothing older than that. We also have some G4 PowerBooks.
I might (dependent upon funding) have a choice between a quad or iSight G5 as my image creation system. Comments, please?

The perfect System is one installed from a Tiger Box one can get from the stores for every supported machine.
I installed this on a 1,25 GHz PowerBook and made all those upgrades and stuff.
This one boots all machines we get here for maintenance (ASP).

Snow Leopard server for 10.7 netboot image

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to create a netboot image of 10.7 using snow leopard server but it is not working. I have already created an image of Lion and then tranfered it over to my server (Snow Leopard). I have scanned the image for restore (not sure if this is needed) and then mounted it using Disk Utility. Now when I lauch SIU then i don't see my pre-created image as image source.
Can i create netboot image of 10.7 using Snow Leopard?
OR
If I created the netboot image using Lion Server and then tranfer the files over to Snow Leopard Server for all my client. Can i do this?
Thanks,

Hi Brian,
Thanks for your help.
So if I create the 10.7 netboot image using 10.7 server and then move the NetBootSP0 folder to SL server then it should be working, right?

NetBoot images not showing on clients

I have two Mavericks (10.9.4) servers from which I am trying to netboot to use DeployStudio to deploy Fall semester images. None of the clients see the images offered by either server either from the Startup Disk pref pane or by holding option or N at startup.
I have been creating netboot images in different ways and with different tools for the past few days and the clients can't see any of them. This morning I configured the second server from scratch, thinking it might be corruption in the first server. No joy. Example lines from the server logs are below. As long as the pref pane is running on the client or once the client tries to neboot the following two lines replicate every three or four seconds in the server log:
Aug 13 09:43:32 SOA-Deployer.local bootpd[8633]: BSDP INFORM [en0] 1,68:5b:35:d5:61:d7 arch=i386 sysid=iMac14,3 Aug 13 09:43:32 SOA-Deployer.local bootpd[8633]: NetBoot: [1,68:5b:35:d5:61:d7] BSDP ACK[LIST] sent 134.139.109.248 pktsize 329
It never gets to the BSDP SELECT step. I've tried different clients, models, and locations of servers and clients (all on the same VLAN). I have tried building the .nbi with Deploystudio (v 1.6.11) on a new iMac running Mavericks 10.9.4, and on one of the servers using System Image Utility. I have also tried creating and serving them using both HTTP and NFS. I've talked to the network guys and they confirm that I should be able to do this. In addition, a deployment server from three years ago and some of its clients the same age CAN netboot.
Here is the result of running sudo serveradmin fullstatus netboot on one of the servers:

I have seen many solutions on the web. One suggested a problem with a kernelcache file larger than 32MB. That isn't the problem here, since none of mine are larger than 16MB.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm just about out...

Thanks for the reply, Strontium90. I am indeed inside a university network as described, but I don't see how I can use a LAN vs VLAN. In order to manage my department's devices the ports in our buildings are assigned an ip address range within two subnets, one of which I am working with both clients and servers at the moment. Not being a network geek I can't see how I can change that. Where can I learn more about coping with Mavericks' standards in this regard? Is there a way around it?
The running DHCP shouldn't have been. In the older Mac OS Server versions we had to turn DHCP on but leave it inert when using netboot. I was grasping at straws and turned on the service then forgot to turn it back off before running that report.
I did not truncate the output. There have been no clients. They can't even see the netboot images thus none have booted.
In case it helps here is the report from sudo serveradmin settings netboot, minus most of the supported models (my Macs are all in the list). :
