TFTP and Share Access

Boot servers do not provide share access to boot and OS images after a default installation. Target computers access the OS and boot images on the boot server through a special secure TFTP protocol. However, some OSIM OS types like Ghost and ImageX images need share access. Also, the installation of large OS images like Windows Vista and Windows 2008 are faster from shares.

To switch a boot server from tftp to share access, execute the following command on the boot server:

sdbsswitch -s 

To switch a boot server from share to tftp access, execute the following command on the boot server:

sdbsswitch -t
