It is not always necessary to include a driver map as part of a deployable Smart Image. If you deploy an ultra-portable image or a portable-sysprep image to an IBM HIIT enabled target computer, you have the choice of: ► Using a driver map and managing all of the device driver modules required for the target computer. ► Not using a driver map and relying on the IBM provided device driver modules in the service partition or HPA of the target computer. If you deploy a hardware-specific image to a target computer, any driver map deployed as part of that Smart Image will be ignored during the installation. The target computer requires all device drivers to be included in the hardware-specific image. Tip: It may be a good idea to work with two driver maps in your Repository. One driver map for production and one for testing. 1.19.1 Driver Map settings You can view or modify the settings associated with a map by doing the following: 1. Open the map from the Repository window 2. Right-click anywhere in the right pane and select Settings. The settings dialog differs depending on whether the map is a base map or driver map. In the Map settings window for a driver map, you will see only two tabs: Figure 1-93 Driver Map settings window ► The General tab is the same as for the base map. ► The Network Options tab has one setting that is different from the Base Map settings: 82 ThinkVantage Technologies: Using ImageUltra Builder
Use driver map filter processing: Driver-map filter processing determines which device-driver modules get deployed to the target computer. When Driver-map filter processing is enabled (a check in the check box), only those device-driver modules that match the filter requirements are deployed as part of the Smart Image. When Driver-map filter processing is disabled (the check box is empty), all device-driver modules defined in the driver map are deployed as part of the Smart Image. It may be a good idea when constructing Driver Maps to have one map for testing and one for production. For conceptual information about constructing the driver-map tree structure, see ImageUltra Builder Version 2.0 User Guide. 1.20 Deploying images using ImageUltra Builder Corporations can have multiple methods and requirements for deploying images. Scenarios may include network deployment, CD media or an integration center such as the IBM Imaging Technology Center. Only one method may be required, all methods or a combination of several. It can be extremely labor intensive to try to maintain, update and deploy these images every time a change is required. ImageUltra Builder can help simplify and streamline this process. The Deploy selection within ImageUltra Builder opens the Deploy Wizard. The Deploy Wizard prompts you through the steps required to create a Network Deployment Diskette, or stand-alone Distribution CDs. The deployment diskette establishes a connection to the repository, provide an interface for selecting the desired maps, and deploy the appropriate maps and modules to the appropriate staging area (service partition, HPA, or network-staging folder). The stand-alone Distribution CDs contain all of the required maps and modules to deploy them to the target computer without using a network. A repository window must be open before this selection can be made. 1.20.1 Creating an ImageUltra Builder boot diskette To create a standard ImageUltra Builder network boot floppy for network or CD distribution: 1. Open the repository from where you will deploy. Chapter 1. ImageUltra Builder 83
