Serving Multiple NetBoot Images

I have an Xserve running 10.5 Server. I want the Xserve to allow diskless NetBoot. Everything works right now. My iMacs are diskless netbooting to an OSX 10.5 nbi. but I want to have many different images. Each image will have a different set of applications. One .nbi may have 10.5+Final Cut Pro, another .nbi may have 10.5+nothing else.
The reason why I want to do this is complex, let's not get into it.
In short, can I specify which MAC address will boot to which .nbi? For example, I want to have MAC address 12:34:56:78:9A:BC to diskless netboot to abc.nbi, while MAC address 23:43:54:32:43:21 to diskless netboot to def.nbi. Is this possible?
If MAC address is not possible, what about by IP range, or by subnet? The iMacs are spread out in many different subnets right now. I am using Netboot Across Subnets to Netboot and it works flawlessly.

At the image level, do you mean a setting in System Image Utility when I make the .nbi? Does that mean I'll have to remake the .nbi or can this be applied to existing .nbi?
In theory, it means you'll need to re-create the image. In practice, you could manually add the appropriate bits to the NBImageInfo.plist file.
Also, can't OSX Server 10.6 serve 10.5 .nbi? I am aware of the last sentence in your paragraph, but I can always use SIU 10.5 to make a 10.5 .nbi for my 10.6 server to serve, right?
Correct. You can server the 10.5 images from a 10.6 server.
Build an image with filtering on 10.6 to get an NBImageInfo.plist file to get the appropriate keys and format (something like enableMACAddressList... I don't recall the exact key). Copy your images from the 10.5 server to the 10.6. server. Manually add the filter data to NBImageInfo.plist.
It's best if you turn off the NetBoot service while doing this, or do it before moving the images into the NetBootSP0 folder.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Tiger (10.4.3) netboot image from Panther Server (10.3.9) odd permissions

    System config:
    Panther Server 10.3.9 on Xserve G5 running Netboot services
    New 2.3GHz Dualcore G5 client machines (require Tiger boot image)
    Created a 10.4.3 boot image on the server from a FireWire drive. All seems to work okay, except for strange issues with permissions when copying files from Users' home folders (e.g. Desktop, Documents, etc.). If copying a folder from Desktop to a server share, we get the error:
    "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
    If there are no subfolders, the contents copy anyway. If there are subfolders, the first subfolder is created but is empty and nothing else is copied.
    This does not occur if logged-in as the administrator user for the netboot image.

    Found the solution on afp548.com
    Same issue also affects non-netboot Tiger clients who are not local admins.
    fixed by running serveradmin command in Terminal on the server:
    sudo serveradmin settings afp:noNetworkUsers = yes

  • Lion server not netbooting Snow Leopard image

    I have a Lion server set up and I am trying to server Lion and Snow Leopard netboot images off of this singular server. I was able to create the Netboot images using SUI for both Lion and Snow Leopard. I dropped the Snow Leopard netboot image into the proper folder on the server yet it will not recognize that the Snow Leopard netboot image. Does anyone know how to get Lion server to recognize Snow Leopard image or if Snow Leopard images can be served from Lion Server?

    Apologies if this seems overly simplistic, but just to be very sure:  you say "only one Mac OS X is enabled".  Enabling is an active process, you have to do it.  I'm on vaca, so this is from memory, but I think in server admin, selecting netboot, then the far right icon which I think is settings gives you a sort of matrix of images.  On that page is a list of tabs across the top - again I think it is labeled images and is the far right, but one of them gives a page where there is a check box for enabling images.  you check that box and click save.  you are able to see the image on that page, check the enable box, click save and yet it still is not enabled?

  • OS X 10.10.2 Server. Having problems with Netboot Image

    Hey there guys, it's the first time i'm having to deal with an OS X server.
    I've made a Mac Mini into a server, and would like to use it as an Imaging Server for our Company's laptops, which are MB pro's.
    I've checked that i've updated the OS on the Mac Mini and the MacBook Pro that i took the image from to the latestth
    soo... I made the image from the laptop, got it on the Server and it's in the Library/Netboot/NetbootSP0 folder.
    The Server app picks it up, and it's set so that you can install the image on other laptops via Ethernet.
    I'm using an apple Ethernet to thunderbolt adapter for the MacBooks
    At first i thought i've messed up something with the NetBoot image, so I had to Create another one.
    First one got Recognised by the laptops when i try to Boot while pressing [Alt+N], but when it booted that way, nothing happened - it just went to the "Select language screen" that you get when turning it on for the first time.
    The second image wouldn't be recognised at all and same thing happens.
    I can give you any additional info if required, just ask me.
    Thanks

    Without any more detail it looks like you've misconfigured something somewhere? Either the workstation you've used to build the image has somehow not 'taken' properly (don't ask me to explain as it can happen sometimes for no discernible reason) or deploy studio and/or your server (amounts to the same thing) have not been configured properly and/or the network in terms of what the clients use for DNS has not been thought through properly?
    It may be none of the above but they are good places to start the debug process.
    What we need is what you're basing your private network around in terms of DNS; e.g.: server's fully qualified domain name, does it resolve on both pointers, can your clients resolve it on both pointers, have you configured deply studio's depository correctly and so-on.
    You don't need to use alt N. Either use the N key or just use the alt key to select the Boot Disk Manager. If you've valid nbis they'll show up there. DeployStudio's netboot set is just a simple, minimal, network-based bootloader. It's typically not very large. Anywhere from 2-5GB. If your nbis are larger then you've not created what you think you've created.
    Hopefully some of the questions I'm asking will start you looking in the right places?

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Images pushed to a mac using OS X Server's netboot service always failes

    Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read this post. My organization reworks/upgrades many Macintosh computers so we have setup the Netboot Service to push out net install images. I can create a disk image for the client's computer, compress and scan for restore, use the System Imaging Utility to prep it for the netboot service, and enable it in the Netboot imaging pane. This works without a problem. When I try to push the image out to the target computer the checksum always fails. I've tried not scanning for restore, checking the checksum in disk utility, repartitioning the drive, and several other possible problems but I can't get rid of the checksum error. All the computers I am working with are PPC Macs. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be causing this? If you need any information just ask.
      Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I was trying to use a compressed disk image with the "verify destination after installing" checkbox set in System Image Utility. As soon as I used an image that was not compressed it worked.

  • How to make NetBoot images appear in the option boot screen?

    So I have a NetBoot server. Yay! Everything works great, but I want certain images to appear when you option boot the machine. Is this possible?

    Hi C.Slagel, As far as I'm aware the only way to do this is with multiple netboot servers. You can get the netboot server icon up from option booting by pressing the n key at the boot manager screen.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers

  • 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.

  • Netboot images,etc

    I'm trying to make a netboot image. Got the Server Admin Tools w/Sy Image Util and have tried it multiple times. But I'm missing something about how and where to create and get an nbi image. This is on Panther 3.9 client, not server, between my in house machines. I believe judging from this log and having pulled up data from my server machine that I just need an image to put to start up disk area of sys. prefs to test more? Anyone ever done such, at this level? Thanks.

    John,
    Two things. First is an application called Passenger. This application will make your life SO much easier when adding users to your ODM. It will import users/passwords from csv, etc. You can also control which groups users are added to when they're imported as well as how their names show up in the server.
    The second, if you want to control applications for users, copy WGM onto a client comptuer, and add the applications that you want to manage using WGM on a client machine. This is the easiest way to make sure that the applications that you want to manage are managed. Working at Westside High School, we have a wee bit of experience using OS X Server for managing clients. We are currently looking forward to the Leopard update, but cannot proceed due to a glitch in the management. If you are on a Leopard client, managed by Leopard Server, turn off your airport, log out, then log back in. Your managed preferences will vanish before your eyes. If you need any help, I would suggest contacting a representative from a 1 to 1 and see if your school will allow you to travel to one for pointers. That is probably the best way to learn the best tricks for management. If not, we're always on the discussions.

  • NetBoot Images not "seen" by MM / MBA when booting with ALT without any local bootable Volumes

    Hello Community!
    I ran into a very odd Problem trying to start Production and Service Mac Minis or Mac Book Airs from our NetBoot Server holding the ALT Key while the Startup Chime sounds. Image selection is working fine if a local Volume is present. When no local bootable Volume is available the Macs will (in 90% of the Cases) stop responding at the point where the Bootpicker should show all available NetBoot Volumes. The dropdown menu for choosing a Wireless Network is popping up but after that the spinning wheel next to it stops and the Mac wont recognize any input from mouse or keyboard.
    The EFI Startup environment is not totally stuck in these cases though, cause sometimes when you restart the NetBoot Service on the Server the NetBoot Volumes will popup on the clients screen.
    If you hold the clients "N" key instead to Start Up from the Servers Default NB Image it works like a charm. Also all the other Mac Models have no problem at all Netbooting using the Bootpicker.
    Among other things I already tried the following:
    - changing NBI index numbers
    - shortening Image names that are sent out by the Server at the BSDP ACK[LIST] step to reduce the packet size
    - deactivating all Netboot Images but one
    - setting up a second netboot Server and transferring half of the Images to it
    the Netboot Log shows that the following client - server communication is repeated over an over:
