To Import Operating System Images

Before You Begin

Make certain you have performed the following tasks before you import the N1 Provisioning Server version 3.1 operating system images:

• Upgraded the Provisioning Server software as directed by To Upgrade from N1 Provisioning Server Version 3.0 to Version 3.1

• Synchronized the chassis state and databases as directed by To Synchronize a Chassis's Physical State and Its Information in the Database

• Update the Control Center Application Server as directed by To Update the Control Center Application Server

Steps

1. Log in as root (su - root)on the image server machine.

2. Type the command ps -ef | grep mountd to check whether the network file system (NFS) daemon is running.

   If the NFS daemon is not running, type /etc/init.d/nfs.server start to start the NFS daemon.

3. Import the operating system images.

   On the control plane server, type the command /opt/terraspring/sbin/imagewizard -n -i /cdrom/cdrom0/Images. The Solaris images on the N1 Provisioning Server installation DVD-ROM are imported to the image server.
