After you configure a channel, the BMI server gets the latest template files from the knowledge base and stores them in the /tftpboot/images/TYPE (Redhat or SuSE)/ARCHITECTURE (IA32 or AMD64)/DISTRIBUTION/ directory on the BMI server.
For example: /tftpboot/images/SuSE/IA32/SLES_9_0_IA32/kickstart
A channel-specific template directory is created for each set of architecture-distribution type systems that is relevant for your environment. Each directory contains the appropriate BMI server template files.
