4.4 Copying the Default Boot Images

This section explains how to copy the default boot images (initrd and the Linux kernel file) to the appropriate directories on the Administration Server so they are ready to be transferred to the Branch Servers.

NOTE:These steps apply only if you selected to install the Image Builder components on the Administration Server.

  1. Use the following command to copy the initrd file to the /opt/SLES/POS/rsync/boot/ directory as initrd.gz (type the command all on one line):

    cp /opt/SLES/POS/image/initrd-disknetboot-version-date.gz 
    /opt/SLES/POS/rsync/boot/initrd.gz
    
  2. Use the following command to copy the kernel file to the /opt/SLES/POS/rsync/boot/ directory as linux (type the command all on one line):

    cp /opt/SLES/POS/image/initrd-disknetboot-version-date.kernel.kernel_version /opt/SLES/POS/rsync/boot/linux
