Update existing NetInstall image

Hi all - I'm a bit of a newbie at this netinstall stuff, but I'm a bit confused about updating an existing netinstall image. I've read the documentation and I understand that if I save my workflow in the System Image Utility, I should be able to use the "add packages" action to add updates. But, it's not clear how this actually modifies things.
Say for example, I've imaged a Leopard DVD, and down the line want to add a combo updater. Do I need to put the leopard DVD back in the drive and will it then recreate everything? If not, how does System Image Utility know to modify the existing image? Sorry if this isn't clear, I'm just a bit confused!
(This is with leopard server)
Thanks!

I've had the same problem. However, in my log I do see lots of errors during the build of the new boot image. Most of the errors indicate that I'm out of space to create the image, even though I'm not. To work around it, I've had to create an install image from the old boot image. Then I install that image on one machine, run the updates on that newly installed image. Then firewire-connect that machine to my laptop and create a new boot image from it; in the process, I send the new boot image to the server. At this point I have a new boot image that actually works.

Can I update a netinstall image?

I have OS X Server 10.8 and have imaged a disk for NetInstall to be served by it.
As time goes by the image will get more and more out of date as updates to OS X and my programs are released so is there a way of updating the image itself or is it a case of deploying this image, updating it then reimaging back onto the OS X Server to be current?
TIA.

In order for the image to be valid, you'll need to start with the latest Install Mac OS X application as a base. The last OS that supported imaging from an OS that went through the update process was Snow Leopard (10.6).

OD binding problem with Netinstall Imaged Macbooks-"Record Exists"

Leopard 10.5.7
Many intel MacBooks All imaged from a netinstall image created from an identical unit.
Leopard 10.5.7 OD server
After using System Preferences-> Sharing to rename the MacBooks
Upon trying to bind to OD, after the FIRST unit successfully bound, subsequent units give a warning “Computer record already exists, do you want to overwrite?”
Somewhere I’m guessing there is a legacy identifier from the image that needs changing… can anyone tell me what I need to do to give these already imaged units a unique identifier?
Is there a command line instruction to reset? preference(s) to delete?
Thanks in advance.

foilpan,
I'm a similar position... but just using a monolithic image build (the old fashion way... using DU/restore disk from an external drive). I'm in a serious time crunch and can't afford to spend any more time troubleshooting SIU, so I moved on to the old fashioned way.
Trouble is I cannot bind the client iMacs to the OD because a record already exists...
I tried your suggestion and got this error in Step 2:

Creating a NetInstall image OSX 10.6 with 10.6.2 combo update package

Has anyone been successful creating a NetInstall image of OSX 10.6 with 10.6.2 combo update package included. Every time I attempt to do it, the image creation fails.

I second that.
You even have advanced group handling to determin which users should be allowed to perform which tasks.
You can even image and restore Windows (both bootcamp on a mac AND pure PC:s)
If you have a pure PC (god forbid) like an HP or Acer or something, they have to be able to netboot. Otherwise it works like a charm.
Building a workflow in DeployStudio is pure "drag and drop". So it´s easy.

Failsafe method to create NetInstall image of pre-configured MacOSX

Hi All
I am trying to create NetInstall image of a pre-configured MacOSX install(mid-2011 mac mini) in this case. Here is my workflow:
1. Setup base OSX Mountain lion
2. Do all updates and configure System Preferences and Finder Preferences as desired
3. Install all desired software to be packaged with the system
4. Boot into target mode and then use a second mac mini running Casper Composer to create a .dmg of the OS.
5. Copy the finished .dmg to ML Server
6. Try to use System Image utility to create a NetInstall image that other mac minis can then use as base install
I havent had any success so far creating a valid .nbi folder I can use(and that works) for re-deployment unless I use Casper Admin and Casper Imaging to manage this. The reason I am trying to get away from using them is that the differnece between buying a $70 Casper Composer(or using the free Disk Utility) and buying the full Casper Suite is considerable. Also, my understanding of System Image Utility is that:
1. It should be possible to build a customised image of OSX from base with packages and coonfiguration added but it doesnt seem to work
2. NetInstall is the only viable option for what we want to do as NetBoot presumes you will boot off the image each time you start up(which is not what we want - we want the ability to clone systems and from bare metal if necessary) and NetRestore flatly doesnt seem to work from .dmgs.
Here is what I have found:
a) I can create NetInstall images from a mounted downloaded Apple-provided OSX Installer that work but as soon as I put customisations in them, the customisations fail.
b) By default NetInstall is greyed out when you mount the dmg and use it as a source in System image utility. Suggestions online are to change the Source to use a New variable and then point it back at the same location. NetInstall is then available. If you try to create a .nbi from this, you get an error saying that there isnt enough space on the target drive - the uncompressed dmg is about 7GB max and there is a spare 60-70Gb free on the drive I am trying to create the image on.
c) I have tried manually creating the .nbi folder but the instructions I found at http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21133 for doing this are outdated as they apply to ppc firmware and although I suspect the technique will still work, I cant work out which elements of the i386 folder I need to retain/move. Copying the i386 folder from another working Netinstall folder doesnt help.
d) I found some links suggesting that NetInstall only worked when the OSX versions were identical so I tried to run the System Image Utility on the Mac where the dmg was created. Here I get two errors:
     i) If I just run the NetInstall using the default source, it errors saying an unknown error has occurred and get the following in the log:
Workflow Started (2013-08-21 11:39:45 +0100)

     ii) If I change the source to the .dmg file and unmount it quickly to avoid any file locks, the installer goes further and seems to almost finish but then gives the following error(just appending the final bits):

Anyone have any idea how I can get around these issues?

First, let's define the various image types...
NetInstall:
A network based image which, when booted into, presents the user with a Mac OS installer. Functionality is effectively the same as running the Install Mac OS X application locally on a machine.
NetRestore:
A network based image which, when booted into, uses Apple Software Restore to replace the contents of a volume with a previously imaged volume.
NetBoot:
A network based image which, when booted into, acts just like a locally booted hard drive, except no changes are written to the disk. Each time the client boots into the NetBoot volume, the system is "reset" to the original state.
As defined by your workflow, you are trying to create NetRestore images.
As piperspace has noted, you need to start with the latest OS Install application. Starting with an older OS which has been updated to the latest will not work.
Creating NetRestore images from other disk images doesn't work because you need to have the Recovery Partition available. As both chicster and piperspace have noted, the way to do this is to image the volume directly.
Many preferences are "ByHost", which means that they are keyed to the UUID of the machine they are set on. To make those settings transfer to the new machines, you may need to use the "Apply System Configuration Settings" action and check the "Change ByHost preferences to match..." option.

Modify existing boot image

Hello everyone
How can I modify an existing Netboot or Netinstall image?
ex. I have a 10.4.4 image with apps which I want to upgrade it to 10.4.6 and add some apps.
Do I have to create the image again?
Thanks
Kostas

No, on your NetBoot server open System Image Utility and go into "Images", in here you see listed all the images in your /Library/NetBoot/NetBootSP0/ directory. You should be able to select the one you want to image and add packages in the contents pane. It should also give you the option of backing up your image before it applies the changes.

NetInstall Image greyed out

I have the machine I want to image mounted in target mode. Both machines (new iMacs) running 10.6 (.1 on the machine to be imaged; not .1 on the machine doing the work). With the machine I wish to image selected, only NetBoot and NetRestore are available; NetInstall is greyed out. Any ideas?
Bob

From another thread:
"You need 10.5 to create 10.5 images, and 10.6 to create 10.6 images. You need an install DVD to create a NetInstall image."
"You can only create a NetInstall image by using an installer DVD as the source. A NetInstall image will, by default, upgrade the OS on a target computer and preserve existing apps and user data. A NetRestore image, built from an existing computer, will completely overwrite the contents of a target computer with the content of the NetRestore image."

Netinstall images not showing up when holding down option key at startup

Hi,
I have setup two Netinstall images on my 10.5.5 server. On the clients I can see the two images via the 'Startup Disk' tab in System Preferences. But the images are not showing up when holding down the option key at startup. As I am getting ready to deploy to two labs of new iMacs, I would like to be able to get the Option key at Startup method to work as per the documentation.
Any ideas why these images are not showing up as they should?

I am having this problem on a 10.5.5 NetBoot server too. I can NetBoot clients by selecting a network volume in System Preferences > Startup Disk, but I can not see the network volumes when option-booting. I am having problems NetBooting while holding down the N-key too. The funny thing is that it works on new Intel iMacs, but not on Mac Pro1.1 (even with the latest firmware updates). NetBooting the Mac Pro works fine when selecting a NetBoot volume in System Preferences > Startup Disk.
Does anybody have a solution? Is this a problem with Leopard Server 10.5.5?
I am running DeployStudio Server v1.0rc9, and the NetInstall set is made with DeployStudio Assistant.
Everything looks right with my bootpd.plist and log file.

NetInstall Image PARTIALLY working

I have a problem which is driving me batty!
I have used NetInstall to create an image that was put together using a G5 Imac as the computer booting from an external firewire drive. The computer boots normally when using this firewire as its boot device. This same FW drive will boot a IMac G3 normally. When I use this same FW drive to supply an image for NetInstall, it creates the image just like always. Here is where it gets interesting.
When I try to install this image using NetInstall on either a G3 Imac or a G4 PowerPC, the imaging process starts normally (Block World, Spinning World, Spinning Gear, Install window) and then it goes to h*! The install bar indicated that the image requires 7.8 Gig, which is no problem for the 40 Gig drive or bigger depending on the particular system, and the bar starts across the window. In a matter of maybe 20 seconds the bar has made it to the halfway point and after 30 or so more seconds, it ends with the "completed but there were errors, please try again". The normal image process would take maybe 30 or 40 minutes on the IMac.
The image is set to erase the hard drive before installing the image. It completes this since when I take a look at the drive after the failed install it is completely empty and has its name changed from Macintosh HD to SIU_Image.
When I try the image created a few months ago, the process proceeds normally to a completly installed image. This was the image installed on the FW drive and then the various updates were installed. The new image has all the current Apple, Adobe, Text Wrangler, MS Office and other updates installed. It also has the new Apple remote Desktop 3 client software installed. (The original image had ARD 2.2, and 10.4.4 software)
The system used to supply the image is an IMac G5 running 10.4.6 Server with 1 Gig RAM and 100 Gig HD. The various clients are anywhere from an IMac G3, 512 Meg RAM & 40 Gig HD on up to a G5 Power PC with 2 Gig Ram and 100 Gig HD.
When I tried installing the older image, it installed normally once I told it to use the HD named SIU-Image (as it was renamed by the aborted NetInstall). It is normally used in an automated install to a HD named Macintosh HD.
The changes in the new image (ARD 3.0, 10.4.6, various security Updates etc.) seem to have generated some problem with writing to the hard drive. Use or non use of the machine renaming file in the sharing prefs does not seem to have any tie in to the problem. One other change which was done to the new image was that "Machine Renamer was removed from this image since I finally got Apples sharing pref name file to work (with the help of some people on the Discussion Forum). I would think that if this were the problem, the FW Boot would not work so I dont think that is the problem.
Another side point is that when the aborted install ask to restart, it will not restart. I have to go up and exit the Net Installer before the restart will take place.
With the abscence of any logs on the install system and no indication of problems evident on the netinstall logsat least as referenced to the install of the image that did work, I am at a loss. The one thing I did notice was that in the NBI folder the old (still working) image had an empty folder named "mnt" that was not in the new images nbi folder. The only other difference I saw was that the plist files for the old image had a slightly different ordered list for disabled systems but all the same systems still appeared to be present, just moved around. Incidentally, the image was set to work on all Apple systems in both the working (older) and non-working (newer) image.
Anybody have a hint, suggestion or thought about what is going on?

Sequence of images created and results obtained.
I used my most current, at that time, image to update all software, having ARD 3 client software installed, both Apple and Non-apple programs fully updated, optimized it (using Onyx) and created a new Net Install image with fully automated setting using the sharing preferences to name the imaged systems. This is the image which failed to install. This image was created on an external Firewire drive.
I tried again, creating an second image from the same system as above think that perhaps this image failed somehow during the creation process. The results were the same.
I tried booting the systems which were being imaged using the external Firewire drive and the systems booted normally.
I then used Carbon Copy Cloner to install the image from the FW drive to the hard drive of the client system. The image installed and booted normally.
My next try was to create an image, using the previous (pre ARD 3, pre updates post January 06) again using the external FW drive. This image created normally and installed ALMOST normally. It was set to automatically restart at the completion of the install but auto restart failed to occur. Manually forcing a restart worked and the imaged system booted normally using the new image. The restart process shows the Finish window with a restart button. Clicking the button causes the button to "gray out" but nothing else. I have to go to the Network Installer menu and exit the IN. This brings up the startup disk window. Selecting the newly imaged HD, clicking Restart and confirming the Restart then restarts the system in the normal manner on the HD.
I then used this base image, installed all current updates EXCEPT ARD 3 (the image remained at ARD 2.2) on an external FW drive. Created the new Netinstall image and then imaged a client system. The client system installed normally again EXCEPT for the automatic restart. A manual restart was done and the system then booted normally using the newly installed image.
My last try was this same image (all current updates) but with ARD 3 installed. The results were the same as the ARD 2.2 image. Normal install but a failure to do the automatic restart. Operation, on the HD, was normal following the manual restart.
As it stands now, the auto restart function is the problem area. Since I am doing the image install remotely but I have to manually go to the systems to do the restart (ARD will not recognize the systems till after the restart) the usefulness of this remote netinstall is substantially reduced.
The only thing that I have not done with the latest image (all updates including ARD 3) is run it through the ONYX optimization and clean up routines. Since it works up to this point other than the restart issue, I would suspect, but have not tried it to confirm my suspicions, that something in the ONYX program "confuses" the client hard drive when Netinstall is used. This same "confusion" does not occur when using an external FW drive to boot from or when using Carbon Copy Cloner to install the image on the hard drive of the client system.
I hope that this provides you with some help. Right now the major problem is the lack of an auto restart or the ability of ARD to recognize the drive till after the restart.
If I get a chance, I will try to use Onyx to optimize the image on the FW and cut a net Netinstall image to see if the same failure to install problem occurs. This may not happen for several days since I am tied up with other projects at present.

Hi,
First upload the file into an internal table. If you are using a file that is on application server. Use open dataset and close dataset.
Then :
Loop at it.
*insert or modify as per your requirement.
Endloop.

"Quicktime Buffer Overrun Detected" When Updating Existing Software

So the subject line basically says it all. Quicktime runs fine until I pull down the "help" menu and select "Update Existing Software" which immediately gives me a C++ error "Quicktime Buffer Overrun Detected." I've tried repairing Quicktime and it does the same thing still. I'm running v.1.3.7 and Windows XP.
An interesting side note: When Quicktime is running my desktop flashes as though windows is refreshing it. Any idea what that's about?

Bumped. A little help would be appreciated...

How to only update existing records when loading master data ?

Hello experts, I need your lights one more time.
Here is my need :
I have created an infoobject (IO) which is a very simple version of 0material, let's call it Znewmat --> Znewmat has material type and trademark as attributes, those two fields are available in 2 different datasources :
- 0MATERIAL_ATTR for material type (field MTART)
- 0MAT_SALES_ATTR for trademark (field MVGR2)
When loading my new IO from 0MATERIAL_ATTR I use a filter (at DTP level) to get only a few material types (I get something like 1000 records),
here is my issue : when I load from 0MAT_SALES_ATTR the field "material type" is not available to keep the same filter as for 0MATERIAL_ATTR and existing records are updated with the trademark, but I also get 5000 records I don't need, and my master data is "polluated" with useless lines.
*and my question : is there a way while performing the second loading to ONLY UPDATE EXISTING RECORDS AND NOT ADD ANY
NEW RECORDS ? (i didn't find anything in main options of my DTP)*
(I'd like to avoid the solution to update the 0MAT_SALES_ATTR datasource to add the missing field)
Thanks in advance for any help, points will be distributed.
Guillaume P.
Still no idea ?

in the start routine of transformation from 0MAT_SALES_ATTR to znewmat do the following:
select materials from /BIC/PZNEWMAT into i_mat
for all entries in source_package where material eq source_package-material.
loop at source_package.
p_ind = sy-tabix.
read table i_mat with key material = source_package-material.
if sy-subrc ne 0.
delete i_mat index p_ind.
endif.
this way you'll only update records that have previously been loaded by 0MATERIAL_ATTR DS
loading sequence:
first load ZNEWMAT from 0MATERIAL_ATTR. then activate ZNEWMAT. then load 0MAT_SALES_ATTR to ZNEWMAT.

Newbie: how to host 10.4 netinstall images on a 10.5 server

I tried almost everything but I don't get it to work.
Technical info:
1 server running 10.5, Netboot, NSF (which should do the trick according to the documentation.
1 client running 10.4 clean installation + firefox
Used tools:
Server admin tools 10.4 and 10.5
Carbon Copy Cloner
Disk utility
Netrestore
What did I try:
Created an image of an 10.5 leopard (not server) installation dvd with the server admin tools (system image utility) and netinstall runs perfect. (I don't see netrestore but just the installer of 10.5)
Also did this with 10.5 server image and also that worked without any problems.
Created an master image of the 10.4 client (all the above named tools have been tried). Image creation is no problem. creating .nbi folder is no problem. Copy it to the NetBootSP0 folder, still no problem. Tried to boot from the image and there is the problem.
Client boots with Netrestore. I can select the NetBootSP0 folder and the *.nbi folder and the image.
I click on restore and got only this message.

Can someone explain me what is going wrong?
I have to say that this error only shows when i try to boot from the netinstall image i created with the 10.4 system image utility.
The nbi image i created with netrestore helper does boot, shows me the installer, says it is completed but when it is rebooting the OS is still the same as before the installation, very weird.
According to this online document it should work as long as you create it with the right tools (10.4 tools for 10.4 images):
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306542
But probably I missed a little detail which I also could not find here on the forum an also not on other forum.
Thanks in advance for your time responding to this.

Never mind, I already found the solution myself.
What I did wrong was:
- not copying the master image to the nbi folder
- selecting the netinstall-restore.dmg image as source to copy to my HD.
The thing is, when you create a netinstall image for 10.5, the image itself is already included in the netinstall image so you don't have to do anything else.
With the 10.4 image however, you also have to copy the master image to the NetBootSP0 directory.
In the *.nbi folder contains an netinstall-restore.dmg file. But that is only to boot you to netrestore, it's not the image itself.
Other alternative is to copy the images to another folder that you share with AFP and adjust the configuration of netrestore like described in this manual:
http://www.shellharbourd.det.nsw.edu.au/pdf/misc/osxrestoringnet.pdf
This manual was also how I figured out that I forgot to copy the image to the NetBootSP0 folder.

Is there a way to "embed"/add Office updates to the image before deployment?

Hi,
in my TS I enabled preapp and postapp Updates
So first windows patches are applied. Then computer reboots installs apps.
I just enabled bunch of Office 2013 updates on WSUS. Office patches takes very long time.
Is there a way to embed patches in MDT to save update time.
Never used Packages node in MDT may this thing can help?
How you deal with massive updates?
Windows image can be updated, but Office for example that is installed after Windows deployment...
Thx.

b.lange,
no I do not install O2013 into the image. It is deployed as post OS install Application.
I really don't see any significant gain of using individual patches in Updates or from WSUS.
BTW, I am still confused about getting MS patches (KBs) beside by WSUS and creating msp from bunch of them.
Could you please briefly describe where and how to download Office 2013 patches for Example from Feb 1 2014 until Sep 15 2014. And then create msp for placing to Updates folder.
Is there something specific for Office 2013 patches that makes it easy to get as a package (one file)?
Thanks.
