To Import Preconfigured Images

Use the image -c command to import preconfigured images. The -c option creates a server image entry in the database.

Before You Begin

Ensure that the image contents are accessible on an NFS-shared directory on the image server.

Ensure that enough storage is available on the N1 Provisioning Server or, if you are using a separate server for storing images, on the image server.

Preconfigured images are packaged with the N1 Provisioning Server agent and other configurations. Do not use the -n option with the image -c command because it will set the image to a non-deployable state.

Step

1. Type image -c

Example 3–5 Importing an Image

image -c -s -L nfs://3001/image/s9u5-img -S 4096M -A sun4ublade 
-o solaris s9u5-js 'Solaris 9 update 5 jumpstart for sparc blades' 

In the example, an image is created and imported with the name s9u5-img, the size 4096MB, located at device 3001 in the directory path /images/s9u5-js. The image is for the sun4ublade architecture.
