7.4 Changing the boot method

Insight Control for Linux provides you with a means to change the boot method of a server. Suppose
the boot method of a system is PXE, but you want to change its boot method to virtual media.

IMPORTANT:

If you change a managed system's boot method from PXE to virtual media, make

sure that you set the managed system's network information in the Network Configuration Editor,
otherwise deployment operations fails. For more information on this tool, see

“Using the Network

Configuration Editor” (page 65)

You can use this tool to change the boot method with the following procedure:
1.

Select Options

→IC-Linux→Configure Boot Method...

Select and verify the target system or systems.

Select Run Now from the Verify Target Systems window.

The Configure Boot Method window opens.

Select the boot method, either individually or for all the target systems

Individually:

Select the radio button in the PXE column or Virtual Media column for each system.

For all target systems:

You can select the boot method for all the systems listed by selecting the check box in the PXE
or Virtual Media column heading.

Select Save.

NOTE:

Exiting the window before selecting Save, leaves the boot method for the system or

systems unchanged.
