Boot and OS Image Library

This folder shows a list of all boot and OS images created and registered at the domain manager.

Note: Images at a boot server that are not yet or no longer registered at the manager will be shown as Detected Images.

Images are also available in the Software Package Library, if they are registered as software packages.

A boot image is either of type DOS or type WinPE. It defines the environment for the subsequent installation of an OS image.

Note: For more detailed information, consult the OS Installation Management Administration Guide.

An OS image is used to set up the operating system of a target computer.

The folder displays available images with detailed information like the name of the image, type, locale (language), batch file name, and comments.

You can customize the pane by showing or hiding columns or by reordering them.

Note: For more information, see the Explorer GUI Help.

If the Image Prepare System is installed on the machine running the DSM Explorer, the task portlet displays the Image Prepare System commands, which allow you to create boot and OS images and to register them with the Software Package Library.

For more information, please consult the OS Installation Management Administration Guide.
