To set up a NetBoot server:
1 Open Server Admin (located in /Applications/Server/).
2 If the server that will host NetBoot isn’t listed, do the following:
a Click the Add (+) button and choose Add Server.
b Enter the IP address of the server in the Address eld and enter the user name and
password of the server administrator in the User Name and Password elds.
c Click Connect.
3 Click the disclosure triangle for the server that will host NetBoot.
4 If NetBoot isn’t listed, select the server and click Settings; then, in the Services pane,
select NetBoot and click Save.
5 Select NetBoot, click Settings, and then click General.
6 In the “Enable NetBoot on at least one port” list, select the Enable checkboxes for the
interfaces that you want to serve the Server Diagnostics NetBoot images over.
If multiple network interfaces are listed, it’s likely that only one of the interfaces is on
the same subnet as your server.
If you’re not sure which interface is on the same subnet, open Network Utility (located
in /Applications/Utilities/) on your NetBoot server and your server. In the Info pane,
choose dierent network interfaces on the NetBoot server and your server and
compare the IP Address elds.
Usually, computers are on the same subnet if their IP addresses start with same
numbers (for example, they may both start with 192.168.2).
7 In the volume list, select the Images checkbox and Client Data checkbox for the
volume that will store the Server Diagnostics NetBoot image.
The volume must have at least 100 MB of available space.
8 Click Save.
9 In a Finder window, navigate to the Diagnostics folder on the Admin Tools disc, and
then open AppleServerDiagnosticsNetBoot.pkg.
10 Follow the onscreen instructions to install the Server Diagnostics NetBoot package.
11 In Server Admin, select NetBoot, and then click Images.
12 If the Server Diagnostics NetBoot image has the same index (listed in the Index
column) as another image, deselect the Enable checkbox for the conicting image.
Don’t change any default Server Diagnostics NetBoot image settings.
13 Click Start NetBoot.
