Manage Additional Boot Servers

You can now install additional boot servers in a domain using the following alternatives:

To install an additional boot server from the installation media

  1. As the boot server is part of a scalability server, install a scalability server.
  2. Choose between access with or without shares.

    For more information, see Install OSIM

To install an additional boot server with Software Delivery

  1. If the boot server system has a DSM agent already installed, use the DSM Explorer and install the Scalability Server package.

    Select Scalability Server from the Software Package Library and drag it on the new boot server system in the "All Computers" folder.

  2. When the boot server has been installed successfully, it will report itself to the OSIM plugin of the manager.

    Note: The default installation prepares the boot server for TFTP access. The boot server is enabled and active after the installation.
