![]() Thus, if a disk image volume’s contents constitute a copy of the Mac OS X installation media, SIU will recognize the mounted volume as installation media. Additionally, SIU treats the contents of a mounted disk image identically to that of a standard volume. SIU can create network disk images of Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server from two primary sources Mac OS X installation media or any system volume that is not currently booted. Therefore, if you wish to create network disk images of previous versions of Mac OS X you must also use previous versions of the Mac OS X Server administration tools.Īs when creating a standard system image, you must have a source from which to create your network disk images. Selecting a Network Disk Image SourceĪlthough Mac OS X Server v10.6 supports hosting images with previous versions of Mac OS, the 10.6 version of SIU can only create network disk images of Mac OS X v10.6.x or Mac OS X Server v10.6.x. Further, even if you don’t intend to use the Mac OS X NetBoot service, you can still use SIU as an automated tool for creating full system images to be deployed using another mechanism. Specifically, SIU in Mac OS X v10.6 introduces a new network disk image type, NetRestore, which can be used to create and deploy system images. ![]() Though SIU is primarily designed to facilitate the NetBoot service, it’s introduced in this chapter because it’s the only Apple tool that provides an easy-to-use automated method for creating deployable system images. The Server Admin Tools v10.6 installer can be found on the Mac OS X Server installation discs, or it can be downloaded from the Apple website.
