How to Create and Install an OS Image with Package on an External NFS Server

The following steps describe the process for creating and installing the OSIM OS image with the package on an external NFS server:

  1. Create the Linux OSIM OS image on the Image Prepare System that includes only the setup files and the control files. This image can install the package from an external NFS server, which is not managed by OSIM.
  2. Create a share on the NFS server and grant appropriate access rights.
  3. Specify the name of the NFS server in the OSIM job parameter BootServerNFS=<name or IP address of the central NFS server>. The name of the NFS share will be taken from the createOSImage command and preset in the job parameter OSImageNFS=<name of NFS share>
