Figure 3-14 completed image capture
We now have an image on the Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment server, that we can use for deployment to multiple systems. Before we do this, however, it is recommended to do some adjustments, including adding device drivers and define hostnaming standards.
3.1.3 Configuring the system profile
A significant characteristic about Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment is that we have not simply copied the disk sectors to create the clone image. Instead, we copied the files from the donor machine. This means that we can now browse and change the details of the profile after it is captured. From here you can do the following:
Add and delete files and directories from the image
Change the hard disk layout
Review the binding details for computer models
Change and view the system code page
Add additional user binding categories
