11.7 Distributing New Images

The purpose of this section is to put new build POS images to the central rsync
directory of the AS and to distribute them to the branch servers (BS). First,
copy the required POS images from the directory:
/opt/SLES/POS/image/
to the rsync directory:
/opt/SLES/POS/rsync/
Note: The interaction to put the POS images, which should be run on the POS
clients, to the rsync directory is done manually to give control over the POS
image types and versions distributed to the branch servers.
AS Interaction Example 1:
The example below shows how to put a previously-extended browser POS
image to the rsync directory of the AS, so it can be received on request by the
BS:
Copy the extended Browser POS Image:
cp /opt/SLES/POS/image/myExtBrowser-1.1.3-2003-12-05 \
/opt/SLES/POS/rsync/image/browser-1.1.3
Copy the corresponding Browser Image MD5 check sum file:
cp /opt/SLES/POS/image/myExtBrowser-1.1.3-2003-12-05.md5 \
/opt/SLES/POS/rsync/image/myExtBrowser-1.1.3.md5
AS Interaction Example 2:
The example below shows how to put a new first stage boot image to the rsync
directory of the AS, so it can be received on request by the BS:
Copy the new netboot

SLRS provides three different prebuild boot images, the netboot, disknetboot and cdboot
image. Keep in mind using the net boot image from the example will only operate diskless
POS clients. For further information refer to Chapter
