Storing Client Images

When any client computer boots from your NetBoot server, a client image is created on your server for temporary storage. This image is used to save any changes the user makes from the client computer while it's running. The client images are deleted as soon as the client computer shuts down or restarts. On a busy NetBoot server, a huge amount of data is written to and copied from these client images. In such cases, you can improve performance by moving the client image storage location to a different disk on your NetBoot server.

To configure the client image location:

1.	Choose /Applications/Server/Server Admin (Figure 11.49). Figure 11.49. Choose /Applications/Server/Server Admin. The Server Admin utility opens.
2.	Connect and authenticate to the server you intend to configure (Figure 11.50). Figure 11.50. Authenticate as your server administrator.
3.	Select NetBoot from the service list, click the Settings button, and then click the General tab (Figure 11.51). Figure 11.51. Select NetBoot from the service list, click the Settings button, and then click the General tab.
4.	From the volume list, select the check box(es) in the Client Data column next to the volume(s) (Figure 11.52). Figure 11.52. Select the volume storage options check box(es). The more volumes you enable, the more responsive your server will be.
5.	Click the Save button.
