Connecting a Separate Image Server

The image server can be any machine that supports a network file server (NFS) access. The image server must have at least one 10/100 Base T Ethernet network interface card (NIC), and one 10/100/1000 VLAN-capable gigabit NIC. The Provisioning Server control plane software is set to use the default image server user account root with the password root that has read and write access for NFS. The image server username and password are configurable during installation. You must set up the image server with telnetd allowing access as user root and password root.

The N1 image server 10/100 Base T port must be connected to the control plane switch, and the 10/100/100 NIC port must be connected to the data plane switch.
