2.On the next panel (Figure 4-3 ), select Yes to keep Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment images in a protected partition, and enter the space that you want to allocate to this special partition. Enter a value at least as large as the total size of all system and software images to be deployed on the computer, as it will retain all these images. If you are unsure, start with approximately 800 MB for a Windows 2000 configuration, 1500 MB for a Windows XP configuration, or 1500 MB for a Linux configuration. If you want a more precise number, check the image sizes reported in a deployment log and round the sum up to accommodate the miscellaneous structures used for redeployment.
Figure 4-3 Set the redeployment partition size
Note: The space that you allocate to the redeployment partition is literally subtracted from the hard-disk total capacity, as seen by Windows or Linux. It is not simply a hidden partition, but instead a hardware-protected area, as defined in ATA-5 specification. If necessary, you can recover this space simply by running another deployment operation that does not include redeployment.
3.Click Next, and then Finish to complete the customization process and obtain a deployment scheme ready for redeployment.
