Setting Up a NetBoot Server
Before you set up a NetBoot server, make sure you have an available server that meets
the requirements described in “NetBoot Server Requirements” on page 10.
After you set up a NetBoot server, you install the Server Diagnostics NetBoot image.
Because the Server Diagnostics NetBoot image is a special image, you can’t use System
Image Utility to delete the image.
For information about deleting the Server Diagnostics NetBoot image, see “Deleting
the Server Diagnostics NetBoot Image” on page 18.
