To prevent a system from being inadvertently reinstalled by simply booting from the
wrong device, this option is not available when booting from a hard disk. Be very
careful, however, not to leave the CDROM in the drive and the system firmware set to
boot from CDROM first, as a no-prompt installation could occur without any user
intervention.
Be very careful when using this option, as the user will not have the option of intervening in the system recovery
process if the boot media was created for no-prompt installation. The exception, however, is if the defaults are
not valid (such as an installation device not being available), or if the backup data will not fit onto the new
system’s hardware without some re-configuration.
When creating CDROM boot media, the following options are available when using the option to
. For Network boot media, the options are available when selecting to
. The reason is that, when creating network boot media, a single network boot image may
be used for different client systems, and each client system can be configured with different defaults. Refer to
each corresponding section for additional details.
If you select either “No-prompt” or “Menus (set defaults)” for the
Installation Mode
, additional information will
appear within the window, such as in the following example:
The
Install Server
is available only if using a Network Administrator license. If the client will install from a
locally-attached tape drive, leave this field set to “none”. If the system will be installed from a remote server,
use the arrow button to the right of this field to select a server name.
When selecting a server name, and (when
Enabling a Client for Network Boot/Install
) the install server differs
from the boot server, more information will appear on the screen below this field:
For the client to be installed from a remote server, you must select the name of the client to be installed (which
must have been configured from the Network Administrator interface). Also, the network adapter name (of the
client) will be required. Other fields are optional, but may be required for the client to contact the server.
Select the
Alternate Server Network
if the server was configured with an alternate server network. In this case,
the client will retrieve the backup data from the server using this alternate network. Be sure to select the correct
adapter name the client will use to contact the server via its alternate adapter.
