326 Novell ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management Administration Guidenovdocx (en) 7 January 2010 Multicast images. You can apply an image of one device to many other devices. This is anexcellent feature for initially setting up a lab. Configure Dell devices. You can configure basic boot settings on Dell devices.27.3 Preboot BundlesIn the ZENworks Control Center, Preboot Services tasks are contained in Preboot bundles. Thefollowing five Preboot bundle types are available: AutoYaST bundle: Describes the location and access protocol of an AutoYaST response fileand network installation directory for SUSE® Linux. This bundle allows you to use PrebootServices to launch an AutoYaST automated installation of SUSE Linux. This is only availablefor Linux devices that are PXE-enabled. AutoYaST bundles cannot be run using a boot CD or aZENworks partition. Dell Configuration bundle: Describes the location of files and scripts for configuring Dellservers. This bundle allows you to use Preboot Services to configure the server’s BIOS, BMC,RAID, and DRAC settings and to create a Dell utility partition. This is only available for Linuxdevices that are PXE-enabled. Dell Configuration bundles cannot be run using a boot CD or aZENworks partition. Kickstart bundle: Describes the location and access protocol for a kickstart response file. Thisbundle allows you to use Preboot Services to launch an automated kickstart installation of RedHat Linux. This is only available for Linux devices that are PXE-enabled. Kickstart bundlescannot be run using a boot CD or a ZENworks partition. ZENworks Image bundle: Lists one or more ZENworks images (base plus add-ons) that canbe restored on a device. This bundle allows you to define simple imaging operations. ZENworks Multicast bundle: Specifies an image that can be sent using the multicastprotocol. This bundle allows you to send an image to a large number of devices in a singleoperation, thus minimizing network traffic. It is ideal for labs, classrooms, and staging areas. ZENworks Script bundle: Allows you to write a custom Linux bash script. This providesdetailed control over ZENworks imaging operations, as well as most Linux-based preboottasks.To create one of these bundles: In the ZENworks Control Center interface, click Bundles > New >Bundle > Preboot bundle > Next, then select a bundle type. For more information, see Chapter 30,“Using Preboot Services,” on page 407.27.4 Configuring Preboot ServicesIn the ZENworks Control Center, you can set up default Preboot Services configurations for all ofyour devices. Some settings can be overridden at the device, group, or folder level.You can configure the following settings per “ZENworks Management Zone”: Preboot Services Menu options: The menu contains seven options: 1) Start ZENworksimaging, which automatically executes the bundle; 2) Start ZENworks imaging maintenance,which accesses the bash prompt; 3) Disable ZENworks partition; 4) Enable ZENworkspartition; 5) Start DELL DTK; 6) Start DELL DTK (Maintenance Mode); and, 7) Exit, whichresumes booting. You can configure whether the Preboot Services Menu is displayed uponbooting, not displayed, or allowed to be displayed only when Ctrl+Alt is pressed duringbooting.
