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.
