Your operating system will be delivered to your Mac from your server and will be run over your network.Ī NetRestore Image will wipe the contents of your hard drive and replace it with the contents of the NetRestore Image. Note: Before we begin this section, it’s very important to understand the difference between a NetBoot and a NetRestore image.Ī NetBoot Image will make no changes to your local hard drive.
Start your client Mac from the NetBoot image If you don’t see your images, open the Server app and make sure the NetInstall Service is turned on. Next, let’s double-check and make sure that the NetInstall service is running and available on your network. Verify that that NetInstall service is on and working If these folders are not here, copy or move them from where you originally saved them to the NetBootSP0 folder. To verify that these files are here, from the Finder on your server: You should also have added these two images to your server’s NetBootSP0 folder. In our last episode we created two images: A NetBoot image to start an entire operating system over a network and a NetRestore image to restore a block-for-block image of an existing Mac.
