11 Creating Operating System Images
cp /opt/SLES/POS/image/initrd-netboot-1.1.7-2003-12-12.gz \
/opt/SLES/POS/rsync/boot/initrd.gz
Copy the Linux kernel:
cp /opt/SLES/POS/image/initrd-netboot-1.1.7-2003-12-12.kernel.2.4.21-152-POS_IBM \
/opt/SLES/POS/rsync/boot/linux
Note: The POS clients boot two images — a first and a second stage image.
Refer to Section 15.6.3
BS Interaction:
Transfer the POS Images from example 1 and 2 from AS to BS. To do that
execute the command possyncimages.pl.
After the execution of the command possyncimages.pl, verify the result by
checking the contents of the following directories. The extended browser im-
age of the example above and the new netboot image (intrd + new kernel)
should now be available on the BS in:
ls /tftpboot/images
ls /tftpboot/boot
Important Notice: When later running possyncimages.pl, remember that dis-
tributing new POS images from the AS to the branch servers is only one part of
the action needed to enable boot image version changes. The counterpart is to
activate the version changes inside the LDAP entries of the AS and to update the
CR config files that reside on the BS. Otherwise POS clients already registered
in LDAP and on the BS will not boot the new POS image version located below
the /tftpboot directory. For more details, refer to Section
Section 6.4 on page 75.
Furthermore refer to Figure
between LDAP, tftpboot directory and the POS clients.
