Configuring Workstation Imaging

This section contains the following information:


Creating a Server Policy Package that has an Imaging Policy

If you create a Server Policy package that includes an Imaging policy, the ZfD imaging engine will not recognize the policy package if it is associated to a virtual server. To work around this limitation, you should associate this Server Policy Package to all of the nodes that are involved in the failover process for the virtual server in the cluster.


Configuring Option 60

By default, a NetWare® 5.1 server will not support both the NetWare DHCP server (DHCPSRVR.NLM) and the ZENworks 3.2 PXE proxy DHCP server on the same server. If both are loaded, the DHCP server will not be able to hand out addresses. This can be corrected by using components shipped with NetWare 6. These updates are also included NetWare 5.1 SP4.

Use the following steps to enable PXE Proxy DHCP services and configure Option 60 on the same server that runs the Novell DHCP server:

  1. Install the DNS-DHCP client from NetWare 6.

  2. Copy DHCPSRVR.NLM, DNIPINST.NLM and NDDPREFS.DAT files from the SYS\SYSTEM directory on the NetWare 6 CD to the SYS:SYSTEM directory on the server. (You might want to back up these files first.)

  3. Using the DNS-DHCP console, export the DNS and DHCP records.

    Note the NDS locations of the DNS-DHCP locator and group objects and the DNS zone objects.

  4. At the system console, type load DNIPINST -R to remove DNS, DHCP and related schema extensions.

  5. At the console, load DNIPINST to install the updated DNS-DHCP and schema extensions.

  6. Using the DNS-DHCP console, import the DNS and DHCP records.

  7. Using the DNS-DHCP console add Option 60 (global options or subnet) and set the text string to PXEClient.

  8. At the system console type load NAMED.

  9. At the system console, type load DHCPSRVR.

  10. If you have not already done so, install ZENworks 3.2 imaging services with PXE support.

  11. Using a text editor, make the following changes to SYS:SYSTEM\PDCHP.INI:

    Set USE_DHCP_PORT to 0.

    Make sure USE_BINL_PORT is set to 1.

  12. Unload and reload PDHCP.NLM.
