1.22.9 Create a ImageUltra Builder Smart Image using the donor image as a base See 1.6, “ImageUltra Builder process to create a Smart Image” on page 17. 1.22.10 Re-clone an ImageUltra Builder after the Smart Image has been deployed into the Service Partition Preparation In this example we will deploy the ImageUltra Builder Smart Image to a client service partition. The client hard disk content is then cloned to an imaging server. The cloned image can then be uni- or multi-casted to multiple clients of the same configuration. This cloning method is very useful for large rollouts of the same system configuration. Before beginning the cloing process you have to: ► Connect the client to the ImageUltra Builder Repository ► Use the ImageUltra Network deploy diskette to connect to the repository Deploying the Portable-Sysprep Smart Image 1. Power on the client 2. Make sure that the system boot from the IUB network deployment disk. 3. When the system completes the boot process the ImageUltra builder Choose an image to Deploy menu will be displayed. 4. Use the arrow keys to select the Base Map 5. Press Enter 6. On the Deploying Driver Map select Yes 7. Press Enter 8. Select the your Driver map 9. Press Enter 10.On the ImageUltra Deploy menu confirm your selection of Base map and Driver map. 11.Press Enter 12.When you are prompted for Direct Network Install, select NO. By selecting no you will then deploy all IUB modules into the service partition of the donor system.Press Enter 13.The system will launch an IUB deployment screen and reboot. 14.The system will reconnect to the IUB repository and begin copying the ImageUltra modules down to the donor system. 15.When completed you will see a message on the screen telling you that on the next REBOOT the system will install. 16.Remove the ImageUltra Builder Boot disk from the donor 17.Select EXIT 18.You have now successfully created the ImageUltra Builder donor system and it is now ready to be cloned to the image distribution server. See 1.22.2, “Use PXE and Virtual Boot Environment to capture donor image” on page 95 for more details on how to capture your image. Chapter 1. ImageUltra Builder 109
