Kickstart script name and path (relative to the protocol default directory): The path
should be relative to the home directory of the selected protocol daemon.
For example, if you select the HTTP protocol, enter myserver.provo.novell.com as the DNS
name, and enter the path and filename as
directory is
http://myserver.provo.novell.com/config/ks.cfg
is relative to the protocol and server ID.
ks.cfg
Additional kernel parameters: Specify additional kernel parameters. These are not Preboot
Services or ZENworks parameters. They are parameters that your Linux kernel needs. For
more information, see your Linux documentation.
A device's Image Safe Data, such as the device's IP address and other identity information that
is defined for its ZENworks Control Center object, is contained on the hard drive that the
device boots from. This information can be lost if that hard drive needs to be replaced.
However, the following options allow you to retain a device's IP address and other identity
information when replacing the hard drive.
These options are only applicable when this Preboot bundle is applied to a specific device. The
image used in this bundle must contain the device's previous IP address and ZENworks
Control Center object information.
(Optional) Select one or both of the following options:
Use the IP Address from Content in the Preboot Bundle Rather Than from the
Device's Image Safe Data
Use this option if you have previously taken an image of the device and are using that
image with this Preboot bundle. This option causes the imaging process to write the
device's IP address that is contained in this image to the Image Safe Data location on the
replacement hard drive.
Do not use this option if the image being used for this bundle was not previously made
from this device.
If you do not select this option, then:
If the device that this Preboot bundle is applied to is still using its primary hard drive
to boot from, the IP address in its Image Safe Data continues to be used.
or
If the device that this Preboot bundle is applied to has been given a new hard drive to
boot from, but you do not have a previous image of the old hard drive, then the IP
address is assigned according to your ZENworks Management Zone configuration
for non-registered devices.
Use the Identity Information from Content in the Preboot Bundle Rather Than from
the Device's Image Safe Data
If you are using a previous image of this device, this option writes ZENworks Control
Center object identity information as contained in the image to the new hard drive's Image
Safe Data location, which allows the device to retain its ZENworks Control Center object.
However, if the image contained in this bundle was not previously made from this device,
it receives the new ZENworks Control Center object that is defined in the image.
If you do not select this option and the device that this Preboot bundle is applied to has
been given a new hard drive to boot from, then a new ZENworks Control Center object is
created according to your ZENworks Management Zone configuration for non-registered
devices.
