Lenovo ThinkVantage ImageUltra Builder Version 5.0 - Manual (Page 38)

v Network deployment with local installation: This method uses the service
partition as a staging area for the complete Smart Image.
You can also elect not to predefine an installation method and instead, prompt the
person at the target computer to select an installation method at the time of
deployment.
For more information on Map Settings, see “Specifying base-map settings” on page
122 or the ImageUltra Builder help system for details.
Defining service-partition behavior
As you create your base map, the New Map Wizard enables you to define how the
ImageUltra Builder program uses the service partition on the target computer after
an image has been installed. You have three options:
v Delete none:
– For a standard installation (network-deployment with local installation or
installation from CD), the service-partition size and contents remain the same
as when the Smart Image was deployed.
– For a direct-network installation, based on the map settings, a service
partition is created if one does not already exist. If a service partition does
already exist, it is resized if necessary, and the files in the service partition are
replaced with ImageUltra maps and modules.
The end result for either type of installation is that the service partition contains
the complete Smart Image.
v Delete some:
– For a standard installation (network-deployment with local installation or
installation from CD), all modules not used for this specific computer image
are deleted. The service partition is resized to accommodate only those
modules that remain. The C partition is resized to include any free space that
was created when the service partition was resized.
– For a direct-network installation, a service partition is created if one does not
already exist. If a service partition already exists, it is resized if necessary, and
any preexisting maps and modules in the service partition are replaced with
the ImageUltra maps and modules required to recreate the installed image;
preexisting utility files are not affected.
The end result for either type of installation is that the service partition contains
only those files required to recreate the image, and the service partition will not
be any larger than absolutely necessary to house those files. However, the
installation time is typically longer because of the time required to resize
partitions and move data.
v Delete all:
– For a standard installation (network deployment with local installation), the
service partition, which was used as a staging area for deployment, is deleted.
The C partition is resized to recover any free space that was created when the
service partition was deleted. The end result is no console-side recovery at the
target computer.
– For a direct-network installation, the behavior depends on whether or not a
service partition existed on the target computer before the direct-network
installation was initiated. If a service partition already existed on the target
computer before the direct-network installation took place, the service
partition is deleted and the C partition is resized to recover any free space
that was created when the service partition was deleted. If a service partition
did not exist before the installation, none was created, and no action is
