Updating Network Boot Images

If you have updated the operating system or installed new base system hardware support (network devices,
disk drives, platform types or display adapters) onto a system that you previously created a network boot image
from, you will need to recreate that network boot image before the new device support will be accessible to the
clients booting from that image.

After installing the new device support, simply follow the instructions for

Create/Update a Network Boot Image

to recreate the boot image and copy to the boot server. If you recreate the boot image for the same platform,
network and Linux version/release level, it will not be necessary to reconfigure the clients for network
boot/install since the clients using the previous boot image will automatically begin using the newly created boot
image.
