[. . . ] creating image files Image files may be created locally or via a LAN connection. locally: · You need a FAT partition on the same disk or another (at least 400MB, for the image of a basic installation) · Create a disk to boot under DOS and set up the SCSI connection of the disk(s) (see sample in Disk 0 files). You can copy the PQDI programs to this disk if you have not already done so. · On the source machine (from which you wish to create an image), boot on the bootable disk just created and launch PQDI · Select "Create Image", follow the steps. [. . . ] · Before launching the creation, select the advanced options and deselect the "check errors" option. · Launch the creation. refer to software scripts: \\Disk 1 3 3. creating a bootable cd rom in order to push an image locally You will need a CD writer with suitable software. We used the Easy CD Creator software from Adaptec(r) with the HP CD-RW. http://www. hpcdwriter. com/products/fs_products. asp On the machine with the CD writer: · Create a disk to boot under DOS, which launches PQDI automatically using the correct image file (see sample in disk 2 files). To complete the set up of this disk, check this point in: * Autoexec. bat - Enter the correct image file name *. PQI - I:\ PQDI. exe /nrb /i24 /ifc /nbs /img=I:\LC2K_W2K. PQI /cmd=I:\script · Launch your software to create the CD ROM. · Within CD Creator, copy the files from the folder images to the CD ROM to be created. · Select the option "bootable CD" and insert the disk you have just created. · Start the CD ROM creation. refer to software scripts: \\Disk 2 4. creating a *. dsk file from the navigator cd. · Go to the copydisk. exe utility, located on the HP Netserver Navigator CD under TTRC To create a disk image (*. dsk) of your disk and to copy it to the directory, the steps are as follows: · Open an MS DOS window · Launch copydisk. exe using this syntax: * Copydisk sourcedrive destinationpath where "sourcedrive" is a floppy drive on your PC that you would like to convert to a *. dsk file (example: A:\) and "destinationpath" is the destination drive. 5. configuring a TFTP server to communicate with the TT_RCC To start the supplied TFTP server, the program "tftpserv. exe" must be executed on the server in a DOS window or by using the Run command from the Windows Start menu. Proceed as follows: tftpserv. exe [root] where [root] indicates the base directory from which a client can retrieve files. If the root is not specified, the current working directory is used as the base directory. If you have already installed the Toptools Device Manager on one of your machines, it will automatically become a TFTP server. The directory from which a client can retrieve files is: \program files\hptt\data\packages\ 4 A TFTP client can request files within the base directory or its subdirectories but does not have access to lower directories. The server software enables the base directory to act only as a file source, not as a file destination. · Insert the Navigator CD into the client. · Click Exit to close the Disk Library or Netserver Navigator screen. [. . . ] · Configure the TT_RCC with the IP address of the TFTP server and the TFTP file name (step 6). · To start the push, click the "Start" button and confirm by clicking on "yes". · You can click on the button "Text remote console" to see what has happened on the server under text mode only.
