"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).

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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!
    Thanks,

  • Need Expert advice on choosing Source System for creating/maint Customers.

    Hi Experts,
    Iam on project where we have CRM,ECC(SD),FICA in the System Landscape.The client is currently using ECC(SD) Customer master for creating/maintainig Customer's.As we have CRM & FICA in this implementation, we are planning to propose that we use CRM as the source system for creating/maintaing Customers as Business Partners & Perform standard replication to the other system's in the landscape.
    The client has has asked us to confirm if having CRM as the source is the Best practice in the industry when we have this three systems (CRM,FICA,ECC(SD)) Landscape.I thought to get some expert advice on this & see if any of you have a similar project experience & share some views on this CRM BP vs ECC(SD) Customer Master.
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards,
    Naveen

    Hi,
       I believe it depends on your business senario.Here I can share some my experience for you.
    CRM As Source System
    Advantage:
    1) Choosing CRM as source system ,you can create several roles of customer for tracking the presales process of customer,such as prospect ,sold to party ,customers ,also you can define the life cycle of your customer and control which life cycle of customer should be replicated to ECC and which one should not.
    2)  CRM can have more views of customer and customer defined field (EEWB fields) ,so if you choose CRM as Source it will be more convenient  to create and fill in the all your user defined field .In other words ,choosing ECC as source you have to extend these field again in CRM .
    3) easy to maintain customer relationship
    Disadvantages:
    1) Have to extend Company code view of Customer data, since CRM do not have these view ,it is  just used for billing and integration with financial accounts.
    2)  have to extend some particular partner function of customer ,it is because of CRM it is only possible to create part of partner function automatically like SP ,BP  when business partner  is replicating to ECC.
    ECC As the source
    Oppositely, if you choose ECC as the source ,the advantage become disadvantage.
    Advantage :
    1) Can Easily to create customer's data of company code view
    2)  Can easily to assign any partner function to customer
    To conclude, if you only need to create sales order in ECC ,I believe choosing ECC as Lead system is better, since you do not have to extend customer data and easily to integrate with FICO and SD.Howerver, if you are going to create a sales order from opportunity or quotation ,CRM is your best choice.
    Regards ,Edward

  • 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.

  • Best PPI for Creating New Image in Photoshop

    Hi,
    Bunch of questions - all in BOLD. I am somewhat new to CS5 and have been playing around with making art in it. Yesterday I created a piece of art simply by selecting 6 inches by 6 inches in the dialog box (because I was thinking of just printing it out at home and gluing it to a 6 x 6 canvas). It defaulted to 72 ppi / RGB as it always does, and I was fine with that when I started the piece and also because I post these pieces of art to my blog on the web.
    I am in the process of trying to create art for licensing and understand I will have to create things in CMYK for that (right?). I also understand that I should probably create a PS piece at 300 ppi (or is 355 ppi the new standard?)
    I want to create the art on 12 x 12 photoshop windows ("scrapbook size") for manufacturers that will also allow the art to be sampled up and down a little bit (say down to 8 x 8 and up to 20 x 20). Is 300 dpi the best dpi, then, to create the piece at?
    Also, is it possible to re-save the file for the web at 72 dpi / RGB for posting to my blog? What is the best way to do this?
    Final question, I think, is that I will be printing out my art on my own home printer (4-color HP Vivera inks) for trade shows just to show it and am not concerned that it be the absolute-best of all possible prints. Just a pretty good rendition of it for display purposes and I obviously don't want to go through a boatload of ink and spend 20 years waiting for it to come out of the printer, etc. Can anyone recommend the best setting (CMYK? PPI???) for home-printing of 12 x 12's as such?
    Thanks!

    that all of these choices will allow me to save it as a copy?
    When using Image > Image Size I would recommend duplicating the Image (Image > Duplicate) first to avoid the risk of overwriting the original.
    I guess what you are saying is that the manufacturer is able to fiddle with CMYK values that he/she needs and I shouldn't worry about it and just create it in RGB.
    Unless you know what space the actual print will be in you better stay in the larger gamut (as most RGB-spaces are likely to be in relation to most CMYK-spaces).
    And even if you know the target-space working in RGB offers some advantages and avoids the risk of overshooting the allowed Total Area Coverage (as can happen when working in CMYK-files).
    what would be the best way to go about trying to decide what possible CMYK profile I should use, and where in the program would I choose to set it and view it
    • Where do you work (North America, Europe, Asia, …)? In Europe FOGRA sets the standard (ISO Coated v2 for sheet fed offset presses at current for example), in other regions of the world different standards may apply.
    • What is the likely output for your images (Posters, newspapers, magazines, offset or gravure print, t-shirts, …)?
    One can always ask one’s print provider which icc-profile fits their process.
    You can use Photoshop’s soft proofing capabilities to get a preview of whatever color-space you find out to be the pertinent one under
    View > Proof Setup > Custom
    and save that. Then turn View > Proof Colors on or off as needed (command-Y).
    But here (as with separation in general) you may want to look into the various Render Intents.
    Additionally you can use View > Gamut Warning (command-shift-Y).
    can I safely assume when I purchase a scanner and use that in the creation of some work that I should scan things in at 300 ppi?
    300ppi effective resolution that is – this means that if you are likely to upscale an image in a layout program like Indesign or just print it out bigger you should do the scan accordingly bigger or with higher resolution so that in the end 300ppi are maintained for products that are likely to be viewed at or less than an arm’s distance.

  • Set up of system for acquiring/​processing images from digital camera

    Hi all,
    I am new to LabVIEW and I need to choose and install a system camera+software able to acquire and process images. I would like to achieve this as painlessly as possible, by choosing the appropriate equipment. I was thinking of buying an industrian camera with GigE interface amongst the list of NI supported  cameras. 
    Once I have that, what software do I need in order to acquire and process images with LabVIEW? Do I need NI-IMAQdx and If I already have NI-IMAQ, do I need to purchase a license for NI-IMAQdx? 
    What steps are required to install and configure the system? If anyone can give  suggestions on how to implement this systemit would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    As Paul suggested the software you need will be the NI Vision Acquisition Software, NI-IMAQ alone will not be sufficient.
    Take a look at this tutorial, part one gives a nice bit of background and part two gives you specifics on how to set things up.

  • The "Perfect" System for CS3?

    Does anyone have a recipe for a workable or "perfect" hardware configuration to run CS3 Production Premium?

    Thanks for the below parts. I went to new egg and checked out each one.
    I like to read the negative comments, such as the following about the
    Intel motherboard (13-127-030 MB ABIT IP35 Pro 775) Any comments on the comment
    "This board is a nightmare. I built a new system with a new 8800GTS, 4GB Patriot RAM, and 3.0 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. Had problems all the way (see cons above) including blue screens. Initially thought it might be Windows Vista 64-bit so I tried XP Home. Same/similar problems. I suspected the graphics card and had it RMA'd - no luck. Then I thought perhaps my old 600W power supply was the problem so I got a 700W one. Same problems. I never suspected the motherboard because it seemed to work just fine with my old 6800GS graphics card (and old power supply). Bought a new motherboard with the 650i chipset instead, and magically everything worked 100% perfectly start to finish including dual booting both OS's. Unfortunately, due to the long RMA ship times and processing at newegg and the fact that I thought the video card was the problem, I sent in my motherboard rebate and voided any chance I have of returning this thing to newegg or getting a new replacement.

  • Tips for Creating Background Image

    I'd like to be able to use a background image on my website like this example: http://my.studiopress.com/themes/parallax/#demo-full
    I've found a few images, but there either to light or colorful and the white text just doesn't stand out over the image.
    Any tips from Photoshop experts on how I can transform images so they're faded/darker (like the image in the link) so my white text stands out clearly?

    Wouldn't it make more sense to put your information on the main site page where everybody can see it?
    Auto loading pop-up windows will be blocked by browsers with pop-up blocking (approx. 98%).   If the site visitor initiates the pop-up by clicking a link, the pop-up won't be blocked.
    That said, the manner in which pop-ups open depends on your site visitor's browser settings.  For some it may open in a new tab.  For others in a new window.  That's why it's usually best to keep important information on the main site page where everybody will see it.
    Pop-up windows in Dreamweaver:
    Select a link.  Go to the Behaviors Panel.  Click the + sign and choose Open Browser Window.  This will send up a dialogue for URL, window size, scroll bars, etc...  Below is an old tutorial, but it's still relevant.

  • Error creating a netboot image with System Image Utility

    Hi all !
    I am trying to create a NetBoot image from my Panther CD, to boot an old iBook.
    I am using System Image Utility version 10.4.11.
    I can create a NetInstall image, but when I create a NetBoot image SIU give me an error.
    I looked in the logs and I can see the error is generated by the script Applications/Server/System Image Utility.app/Contents/Resources/.preinstall
    This command is the culprit:
    /usr/sbin/installer -verbose -lang 'eng' -pkg '/Volumes/Mac OS X Install Disc 1/System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpkg' -target /Library/NetBoot/NetBootSP0/PantBoot3.nbi/mnt -_multiDiscPath /tmp/siuInstallExtras
    The error is (as seen in the logs):
    This package requires authentication to install.
    If I take the command and run it in the terminal using sudo it goes thru, but gives another error:
    installer: Cannot install on volume /Library/NetBoot/NetBootSP0/PantBoot3.nbi/mnt because it is disabled.
    installer: Mac OS X cannot start up from this volume.
    Is this thing supposed to work ?? It seems to me SIU is buggy.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Regards
    Mike

    I'm not digging the new SIU at all yet. Maybe I'll get used to it in time. I couldn't get it to accept a Tiger 10.4.6 Install disc the other day to build a NetInstall. Don't know if I was doing something wrong or if it was instinctively rejecting it because I was doing something unsupported.
    I miss NetRestore. I think Mike wants use to use Automator... but I want NetRestore's automated Multicast ASR and Windows image restore. It would take a lot of work to match Mike's shrink-wrapped solution.
    Speaking of NetRestore, its creator Mike Bombich advises against use CCC for mass deployment. This may include what you're doing. It's really a backup tool, but unfortunately a lot of people got into the habit of using it for creating deployment images and these often have problems. It's the best tool for create images that you will deploy onto multiple Macs.

  • 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?

  • Creating a virtual system for transport landscape

    Hello
    We have an isolated system that has transport system set to Local change Requests and would like to transport some of the transports into another system. I found in a thread here that we need to create a virtual system for creating a transport route. Can anyone tell me how to create the virtual system?
    Thanks
    A.

    Hi Aleksandra,
    You can create virtual system like below.
    Make sure you have configured the domain controller.
    Login to the system,client 000 and user with same authorization of sap*
    Execute t-code STMS
    from the menu Goto  overview ->systems
    You will get one entry of the domain controller.
    Then from that screen from menu sap system -> create ->virtual system.
    Provide the data for the sid and description and save your entry,
    Then you can configure the root.

  • Choosing a highly-available, networked file system for VM images

    What's the consensus here on highly-available, networked file systems for VM disk images?
    HA-NFS seems difficult and overly-complicated.
    GlusterFS doesn't seem to be well-suited for this task.
    Ceph/RADOS seems popular but there isn't much information available.
    OCFS2 seem to be suitable but there also isn't much information available.
    Eric P.
    Truckee, CA

    Actually, I still would suggest taking a closer look at what I had mentioned in your other thread:
    [Use OCFS2 to Share Local Storage (DAS) Across OVM Compute Nodes|https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2438632&tstart=0]
    I still think that this would also solve thus thread. In the end, there is no how-to on how to build that up and you probably will need some help from some experts. I for myself, also didnÄt configure all of that on my own - i left ASM/Cluster part for some contractor to setup and focused on the iscsi-target/initiator setup along with the multipath setup on m VM servers.
    Maybe I will do a little write-up, once we get it all sorted out, since we do experience some strage behaviour of our storages boxes, while ASM hammers ob them quite hardly, but I suspect the raid controllers to blame and not the concept… ;)

  • 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). :
