1. The person controlling the deployment starts the process by booting the target
computer with ImageUltra Builder Deployment Media , and then selecting the
required maps from the repository.
2. The selected maps and all modules defined within the maps are obtained from
the repository and copied over the network to the service partition, which acts
as the staging area for the complete Smart Image.
Note: At this point, a message is displayed stating that the deployment phase
is complete. The person controlling the deployment can either shut down
the computer at this point and ship it to another location, or continue
with the installation phase.
3. The person controlling the installation process, starts the installation phase by
making selections from the installation menus to define the image to be
installed.
4. The modules required for the defined image are unpacked from the service
partition onto the C partition.
5. The setup process begins. When the installation phase is over, the C partition
contains the new image and the service partition contains the Smart Image,
which can be used for client-side recovery.
Note: An optional cleanup step can be defined in the base map Map Settings
window to minimize the size of the service partition and keep only those
files required for the installed image, or eliminate the service partition.
