1.20.4 Deployment methods In this section, we exercise the deployment methods. Tip: IBM Imaging Technology Center (IITC) can preload your workstations with your custom ImageUltra Builder configuration. This can enable immediate installation of a workstation without requirements for media or network connections. For more information on the IITC please refer to their web site. http://www.pc.ibm.com/cbcc/cbccweb.nsf/Home CD distribution Direct deployment from Distribution CDs involves copying all modules defined in the selected base map and driver map to a set of CD-R or CD-RW discs. The first disc of the set is bootable. When started in the target computer, the CD copies the modules from the CDs to the service partition of the target computer and prepares the target computer for the installation process. If a service partition does not exist at the start of the deployment process, one is created. Use the ImageUltra Builder Deploy Wizard to create a set of stand-alone Distribution CDs. Based on your responses, the Deploy Wizard prompts you through the steps required to create the CDs. Typical steps include the following: ► Creating a Network Deployment Diskette ► Selecting the base map and driver map to be used ► Selecting the location where the CD files are to be stored After all required questions have been answered, the Deploy Wizard creates individual folders for each CD in the location specified. You can then use the CD-RW software of choice to create the CDs. Because CD 1 must be bootable, and uses specific files from the Network Deployment Diskette, make sure you follow the instructions provided by the Deploy Wizard and the ImageUltra Builder help system for creating CDs for CD deployment. Figure 1-97 shows the deployment process using an ImageUltra Builder Distribution CD and a local installation process, which uses a service partition as a staging area. 88 ThinkVantage Technologies: Using ImageUltra Builder

The first step in CD deployment is the creation of a set of ImageUltra Builder Distribution CDs, which is described above (for more information, see the ImageUltra Builder help system). The person controlling the deployment starts the process by booting the target computer with an ImageUltra Builder Distribution CD. 2. The maps and modules contained on the set of CDs are copied to the service partition, which acts as the staging area for the complete Smart Image. Note: At this point, a message is displayed stating that the deployment phase is complete. The person controlling the deployment can either shut down the computer at this point and ship it to another location, or continue with the installation phase. 3. The person controlling the installation process starts the installation phase by making selections from the installation menus to define the image to be installed. 4. The modules required for the defined image are unpacked from the service partition onto the C partition. 5. The setup process begins. When the installation phase is over, the C partition contains the new image and the service partition contains the Smart Image, which can be used for client-side recovery. Note: An optional cleanup step can be defined in the base map Map Settings window to minimize the size of the service partition and keep only those files required for the installed image, or eliminate the service partition. 4 Setup Chapter 1.
