Manually: Add OSIM Support Before the Target Is Detected by a Boot Server

The OS Installation method for a target computer starts an OSIM wizard that adds an OS installation order (Planned or Activated) to the target.

You have to choose a boot server in one of the dialogs.

If you do not know to which subnetwork and boot server the target will be reported, select any of the boot servers.

The target will be moved automatically after another boot server reports the target for the first time.

Note: In this case, it needs one target boot to catch up the target and another boot to start the OS installation. If the other boot server does not have the required OS image in its image store, the OS installation order will fail.

To start the OSIM wizard

1. Navigate to Computers and Users, All Computers in DSM Explorer.
2. Right-click the target computer that you want to manage, and click OS Installation.
