Before you can deploy Point of Service terminals, you must first create image files that contain the operating system and application files required to boot the terminals.
Novell Linux Point of Service provides image templates that can be customized and generated using the Image Builder tool. When you select the NLPOS Image Server during the Administration Server installation, the ImageBuilder utilities (scr and xscr) are installed on the Administration Server along with all the files and directories required to create Point of Service images.
To create the Point of Service images required to deploy your Point of Service terminals:
For detailed instructions, see Copying
the Novell Linux Point of Service CDs
in the Novell Linux
Point of Service 9 Administration Guide.
For detailed instructions, see Generating
AdminServer.conf or Distribution.xml
in the Novell Linux
Point of Service 9 Administration Guide.
For detailed instructions, see Building
Images with the scr ImageBuilder Tool
or Building
Images with the xscr ImageBuilder Tool
in the Novell
Linux Point of Service 9 Administration Guide.
After you have created the images required for your Point of Service terminals, you must copy the images to the appropriate directories on the Administration Server so that the RSYNC service can transmit the images to the Branch Server. Proceed with Section 4.6, Copying the Client Image Files.
