10.5 Server hosting 10.4 netboot and netinstall images

It appears that 10.5 Server can only host 10.5 netboot and netinstall images, at least according to the documentation that accompanies System Image Utility. Does anyone know of a workaround? I have 10.5 Server on our office Xserve, but only have one 10.5 client and most of the computers we have can't run 10.5 anyway. I had a 10.4.x netinstall image and netboot image set up under 10.4 Server that worked beautifully, but apparently Apple seems to want to FORCE people to upgrade, which really angers me.
Does anyone know a workaround that would allow me to continue using a 10.4 netinstall image and netboot image as hosted by 10.5 Server?

I've not tried making any new images with the System Image Util yet but our old 10.4 images stayed on the server when I upgraded it from 10.4 to 10.5 and the images still work.
Did you upgrade the NetBoot server from 10.4 or did you do a clean install? I just had to uncheck the images and check them again and restart NetBoot!
Luckily we're about to go up to 10.5 on all the machines here!

  • Lion NetBoot and NetInstall causing kernel panic

    I'm trying to get NetBoot and NetInstall working on a recently set up a new Mac Mini with OS X Lion Server.
    We previously had Snow Leopard server and moved the existing images onto the Lion Server. However, when trying to boot off either image the machines kernel panic.
    Have tried creating new images, but with the same result.
    Anyone with similar issues who have managed to fix it?

    Thanks for your reply. I will try what you suggest and also read through the troubleshooting tips you linked to. Cheers!
    I do have have some furher information about the problem.
    Definitely some strange behaviour here - I'll try to explain is as well as I can.
    Started out activating one NetInstall image of Lion 10.7.2 (did not have 10.7.3 on hand). When testing with my MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2009) currently runing Lion (came with Snow Leopard), I got a kernel panic. However, when choosing the NetInstall image as startup disk via System Prefrences, it boots up fine via this image.
    After a while I also added a Snow Leopard NetInstall image (newly created on one of our machines still running Snow Leopard). With the Lion set to be the default netboot image. When booting my machine into startup manager, then pressing 'N' to see netboot images, I only get one additional icon (despite there being two enabled images) with the server IP underneath. When selecting that icon, the machine boots up with the Snow Leopard installer (despite Lion being set as the default).
    Trying the same with an iMac without a hard drive, this iMac would have come with Snow Leopard preinstalled, shows me both NetInstall images in startup manager, but I get a kernel panic when trying to boot off the Snow Leopard image - not the Lion image. Selecting the Lion image as startup disk while booted from the SL image results in a successful boot from the Lion image.
    To recap:
    On MacBook Pro
    Startup manager, Lion boot = kernel panic
    Startup manager, SL boot = success
    Startup disk chooser, Lion boot = success
    Startup disk chooser, SL boot = success
    On iMac
    Startup manager, Lion boot = success
    Startup manager, SL boot = kernel panic
    Startup disk chooser, Lion boot = success
    Startup disk chooser, SL boot = success
    The above is true when sharing the images both over NFS and HTTP.

  • Netbooting and NetInstalling Problems

    Hello All!
    I have a problem, I have created an image off of a known to be working (I am using it now) install from my personal computer to boot off of for computer problems. But, when testing it out my computer would startup, display the rotating globe, then, where the apple is going to come up, a large black box appears and the progress wheel freezes.
    I tried a NetInstall off of the Tiger Install disc and when booting off of it, the computer does the rotating globe, the apple appears then the computer completely shuts down.

    How did you create the image? And as with any other service, DNS needs to be configured correctly for Netboot/Netinstall to function reliably.

  • Can't update MAC filtering in ServerAdmin/NetBoot at the Image level

    Strange business here.
    I have one NetBoot image, set as Default. It's enabled and diskless. Clients can NetBoot to it just fine - no problem. It's great.
    I have two NetInstall images, created successfully with the System Image Util. They're both enabled... but no matter what I do, clients don't see 'em and won't install from 'em.
    I think it has to do with filters at the Image level, but I'm not sure:
    On the NetBoot image - the one that works fine - the image filters are set to (model filter) "Allow Any Apple Computer" and (Mac Address) "Allow only clients listed below (deny others)." Thing is, nothing is listed under MAC address filtering... so WHY is this working for the clients? and why are the NetInstall images not working? They have the same Image-level filters in place.
    In fact, on the Image filter pane, no matter what I change, the changes aren't saved - when I click "OK," then go back into the pane, it's blank again.
    Everything's on the same subnet; there's no funky networking going on or anything like that. NetInstalls work(ed) fine from my Tiger server. Note that my DHCP resides on a separate Windows server. Since I've been able to NetBoot and NetInstall from my 10.4 machine, I'm not inclined to think the DHCP is at fault here.
    Oh - and one other tasty tidbit: in the Log files I see "can't open /etc/bootptab". This isn't entirely surprising since I went to /etc and there isn't a file or directory there by that name...

    Per image MAC address filtering, sadly, does not work. Although I don't believe it will interfere with anything, you're probably best off just leaving that action out of your workflow.
    Server level filtering works fine. If you need MAC address filtering, you'll have to do it there.
    One quick thing you can try... toggle something on the image (enabled state for instance) and click "save". This may reset bootpd if it has cached old data.

  • Changing sql server service and sql server agent service startup account in SQL Server hosting SharePoint DB

    Hi 
    i have a sharepoint deployment with one SQL Server (running on VM) hosting the config DB and another SQL Server (Physical Host because VM was running out of space) to host the huge Content DBs. I need to schedule automatic backups of the Content DBs to a
    network share. For that i need to run the SQL Server Service with an account having permissions to the share as suggested in https://support.microsoft.com/kb/207187?wa=wsignin1.0
    I tried changing the logon as a service account to a domain
    account which has permissions to the Network Share and is also in local Administrators group of SQL Server and has "public and sysadmin" roles in SQL Server but that caused an issue. the SharePoint Web Application started showing a White Screen so
    I had to revert back to the default accounts i.e. NT Service\SQLSERVERAGENT and NT Service\MSSQLSERVER. I viewed the event logs . These are the types of error i got after changing the logon as a service account to a domain account

    The target principal name is incorrect. Cannot generate SSPI context.

    Hi Aparna,
    According to your description, you get the above two errors when scheduling backups of Content DB. Right?
    Based on those two error messages, they are related to the service principal name(SPN) for SQL Server service. Please verify the if the SPN is registered successfully. You can view it in ADSI Edit or use command line. Please see:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/psssql/archive/2010/03/09/what-spn-do-i-use-and-how-does-it-get-there.aspx
    When installing SQL Server, those two services below should be registered:
            MSSQLSvc/servername:1433      
            MSSQLSvc/servername
    Please check if those SPNs or duplicated SPNs exist. You can use command to reset SPN or remove duplicated SPN and add new one. See:
    Setspn.
    We have also met this issue when this SPN is registered under Administrator. Please try to register it under Computer. You can add it in ADSI Edit.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Determining Message Server Host and Port information

    Hi,
    I am working on the NWDS creating a Java WD application and I was told which Netweaver system I should work on but I was not told the Message Server Host  information neither the Port information. I ran transaction SM51 (right click->details)in the Netweaver system but the information it is not working. Even though I can telnet this server port if I go to the J2EE Engine window within the NWDS I do not see the green light. I just see "N/A". I also tried to deploy my application but I keep getting this message: "Cannot determine sdm host (is empty). Please configure your engine/sdm correctly".
    Please advice,
    Diego.

    Hi Diego,
    in order to see Message Server Host information and Port information go to SAP J2EE Engine start page: e.g. http://system-name:57100/index.html (use administrator pws).
    Then click on System Information, here on the top you can read the Message Server Host and Port.

    Hello, SAP Gateway Server Host and Gateway Service are used to set up rfc connectivity, that is the host name and the system number where your sld and ldap is responding, if you have no sld and no ldap , just simply uncheck that options while installing.

  • Difference between MIB retrieval and SNMP server hosts

    Hi all,
    can anybody explain difference between MIB retrieval systems and SNMP server hosts?

    The two of these can both be different systems or the same system
    A MIB retrieval system usually is an NMS system that actively polls the device to collect SNMP/MIB information (counters, stats, etc)
    Whereas a host is typically where traps are sent to from the network devices.
    Most NMS systems act as both a retrieval (poller) and host (trap receiver).

  • Response time between LabVIEW w/DSC module and RSLinx OPC server hosting FlexLogix PLC tags too long

    We are experiencing communication response time delays between LabVIEW with DSC module and RsLinx OPC Server hosting all FlexLogix PLC tags (around 500-600 tags).
    The nominal response time for the system watchdog is < 500ms, but we occasionally have spikes of up to 1.5 seconds once every few days even when the system is idling.
    Changing more than six PLC connected shared variables at the same time from LabVIEW also causes the watchdog response times to spike above 500ms.
    Our watchdog is programmed so that LabVIEW toggles the watchdog bit to 1 as soon the shared variable event detects that the PLC has toggled it to 0. The PLC, however, waits 300 ms until it toggles it.
    Our system:
    Windows XP SP3
    LabVIEW 9 F3
    RSLinx Opc Server v2.54
    Allen Bradley FlexLogix PLC

    What is your update rate set for in the RSLink OPC server?
    You aren't toggling the same flag from both ends are you?

  • Netboot and a Parental Control managed account

    I am trying to set up a group of kiosks (Mac Minis) using NetBoot off of OS X Server 10.5.2. I've created a netbootable disk image with two accounts. One is an admin account, the other is a managed account with Parental Controls.
    My thinking was that I could lock down the managed account and limit the websites that can be visited as well as apps that can be launched using Parental Controls. Everything seems to work fine except one important piece. Neither Firefox or Safari can actually access the internet. I always get a connection error from the browsers. If I run network diagnostics, it returns green on all levels. Similarly, in a Terminal window under that same account, I can ping the webservers I'm trying to get to.
    Does anyone have any ideas why Parental Controls on that account seem to limit the ability for the browsers to see the Internet? It works fine when the original image is booted locally. Are managed Parental Control accounts not compatible with NetBoot? Any suggestions?

    Ok, this gets more interesting. Based on more testing, I believe there is an incompatibility between Netboot and a Parental Control account. I tried doing a port scan using Network Utility (ports 0-1000) in a variety of accounts both local drive boot and Netboot. The results are further below.
    For some reason, the Parental Control account on the Netboot device does not see port 80 (http) off the computer it is scanning. As you can see there are three different cases. The http and https protocols are where the discrepancy occurs. Anyone know if this is by design or a bug? I find it hard to believe I'm the only one trying such a solution but this seems to be a pretty significant roadblock.
