Updating an Existing Mac OS X NetBoot Disk Image
You can apply a Mac OS X system update to an existing NetBoot image so that your clients
start up from the latest available system.
You can download Mac OS system updates from www.apple.com/support.
To apply a Mac OS X update to a NetBoot image:
1 Log on to the server as the root user.
2 Disable the image you want to update.
Open Server Settings, click the Network tab, click DHCP/NetBoot, and choose Configure
DCHP/NetBoot. On the Image tab, clear the Enabled checkbox for the image.
3 Unlock the image (the image.dmg file in /Library/NetBoot/NetBootSPx/image.nbi).
Select the file, choose Get Info from the Finder’s File menu, and clear the Locked checkbox.
4 Unlock the associated boot file /Library/NetBoot/NetBootSPx/image.nbi/booter.
5 Double-click the image file to mount the image.
6 Run the Mac OS X update installer.
Select the mounted image as the destination disk for the update.
7 Open the Terminal application and enter these commands to update the boot files:
cd /Library/NetBoot/NetBootSPx/image.nbi
vsdbutil -a /Volumes/image
kextcache -l -n -m mach.macosx.mkext /Volumes/image/System/Library/Extensions
cp /Volumes/image/usr/standalone/ppc/bootx.bootinfo booter
cp /Volumes/image/mach_kernel mach.macosx
8 Enable the image using Server Settings.
Important
To update an image using these instructions, you must have been logged in to
the server as the root user when you created the image.
