Wake-On-LAN in Boot Server Network Segments

Waking up a target computer can be selected for each OS installation request.

If Wake-On-LAN is selected, the responsible boot server will wake up the target computer when the activation time is reached and after the OS installation order is scheduled on the boot server.

To wake up a target the boot server needs information about the target machine’s IP subnet. The boot server collects subnet information from the reports the Agents send to the Scalability Server.

If a target is in an IP subnet remote to the boot server please make sure at least one Agent connected to that subnet already has registered to the Scalability Server the boot server is running on.

Note: A target computer has to be enabled for Wake-On-LAN. This setting can be enabled in the BIOS power management settings. For more information on enabling Wake-On-LAN, see the documentation for your computer.
