Deploying Preboot Services In A Network Environment - Novell ZENWORKS 10 CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT SP3 - PREBOOT SERVICES AND IMAGING REFERENCE 10.3 16-04-2010 User Manual

Novell-proxydhcp must be started manually and does not need to be run on all Imaging Servers.
While taking an image, the novell-pbserv service must be running on the server where the
ZENworks image is to be stored. During restoring the image, the novell-pbserv service must be
running on the server where the ZENworks image is located.
The other three services are started automatically when installing Configuration Management, or
any time the server is rebooted, and must run on all Imaging Servers.
For more information, see
Checking the Setup
After the Preboot Services components are installed, the following should be installed and running
on the server. You can use these methods to check their status:
Preboot Services Or Daemons
Table 2-2
Service
novell-pbserv
novell-tftp
novell-zmgprebootpolicy
You should not change the default configuration of these services.
If the server where the Preboot Services components are installed is also a DHCP server, see
"Configuring LAN Environments for Preboot Services" on page

2.4.2 Deploying Preboot Services in a Network Environment

To implement the network deployment strategies outlined in this section, you must have a solid
understanding of the TCP/IP network protocol and specific knowledge of TCP/IP routing and the
DHCP discovery process.
Deploying Preboot Services (with PXE) in a single network segment is a relatively simple process.
However, Preboot Services deployment in a multi-segment network is far more complex and might
require configuration of both the Preboot Services services or daemons and the network switches
and routers that lie between the server and the PXE devices.
Configuring the routers or switches to correctly forward Preboot Services network traffic requires a
solid understanding of the DHCP protocol, DHCP relay agents, and IP forwarding. The actual
configuration of the switch or router must be performed by a person with detailed knowledge of the
hardware.
