5.1. Unattended automated OS installation<br />

5.1.1. Overview<br />

Steps of a re-installation:<br />

• Using PXE-Boot:<br />

• Choose the client which has to be installed with the utility <strong>opsi</strong>-configed or <strong>opsi</strong>-<br />

admin.<br />

• At the next reboot, the client detects (via PXE-Bootprom) the re-installation request<br />

and loads the boot image from the <strong>opsi</strong> depot server.<br />

• Using CD-Boot:<br />

• The client boots the boot image from the <strong>opsi</strong>-bootcd.<br />

• The boot image starts and asks for confirmation to proceed with the re-installation.<br />

This is the only interactive question. After confirming this, the installation proceeds<br />

without any further request for interaction.<br />

• The boot image partitions and formats the hard disk.<br />

• The boot image copies the required installation files and configuration information<br />

from the depot server to the client and initiates a reboot.<br />

• After the reboot the client installs the OS according to the provided configuration<br />

information without any interaction.<br />

• Next the <strong>opsi</strong> PreLoginLoader is installed as the <strong>opsi</strong> installer for automated software<br />

distribution.<br />
