Table 6-2 Add Image Steps
| Step | Status Field | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Verifying image source. | PMAC verifies that the software image exists. Also verifies that the software image is not already in the image repository. |
| 2 | Mount source image. | PMAC temporarily mounts the software image to examine the files. |
| 3 | Validate source image. | PMAC validates the software image as follows. If the source software is a TPD image, PMAC looks for a TPD-based validation mechanism. If the mechanism is present, PMAC uses it to validate the contents of the image. If no validation mechanism exists, the image is assumed to be valid. |
| 4 | Extract boot files. | PMAC copies the boot configuration files from the image if the image is bootable. |
| 5 | Unmount source image. | PMAC unmounts the temporary mount. |
| 6 | Copy image. | PMAC copies the image to permanent storage and the PMAC database is updated with information about the image. |
| 7 | Mount image. | PMAC mounts the imported image on the file system. |
| 8 | Share image. | PMAC sets up the image for use by other server blades. The mounted software image is exported to make it available on the server blade. |
| 9 | Removing image from temporary path. | PMAC performs clean up prior to completing the operation. |
| Success. |
