Novell ZENWORKS 10 CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT SP3 - PREBOOT SERVICES AND IMAGING REFERENCE 10.3 16-04-2010 User Manual page 61

We strongly recommend that you initially set up Preboot Services in a single segment to ensure that
the servers are configured correctly and are operational.
This section includes the following information:
"Server Configuration" on page 61
"Network Configuration" on page 62
"Configuring Filters on Switches and Routers" on page 67
"Spanning Tree Protocol in Switched Environments" on page 68
Server Configuration
There are three important points about configuring servers for Preboot Services:
DHCP Server: The Preboot Services environment requires a standard DHCP server. It is up to
you to install your standard DHCP server.
Preboot Services or Daemons: The four Preboot Services services or daemons (novell-
pbserv, novell-tftp, novell-proxydhcp, and novell-zmgprebootpolicy) are all installed on the
Imaging Server when you install Configuration Management. These services or daemons must
run together on the same server.
Imaging Server: The Preboot Services services or daemons can be installed and run on the
same or different server than DHCP.
The following sections give general information about these services:
"The DHCP Server" on page 61
"Novell-pbserv" on page 61
"Novell-proxydhcp" on page 62
"Novell-tftp" on page 62
"Novell-zmgprebootpolicy" on page 62
It is seldom necessary to make changes to the default configuration of these services. However, if
you need more detailed configuration information, see
Servers" on page 68.
The DHCP Server
The standard DHCP server must be configured with an active scope to allocate IP addresses to the
PXE devices. The scope options should also specify the gateway or router that the PXE devices
should use.
If Preboot Services (specifically novell-proxydhcp) is installed on the same server as the DHCP
server, the DHCP server must be configured with a special option tag. For more information, see
"Configuring LAN Environments for Preboot Services" on page
Novell-pbserv
Provides imaging services to devices.
This includes sending and receiving image files, discovering assigned Imaging bundles, acting as
session master for multicast imaging, and so on.
