Lenovo

requires

that

you

obtain

a

per-seat

license

for

each

computer

on

which

a

Smart

Image

is

deployed.

For

information

about

ordering

licenses,

contact

your

Lenovo

marketing

representative.

You

are

solely

responsible

for

obtaining

any

licenses

required

to

distribute

operating

systems,

application

programs,

and

any

other

licensed

software.

Installation

considerations

Consider

the

following

information

when

installing

the

ImageUltra

Builder

program.

The

ImageUltra

server

installs

Cloudscape

V10.0,

a

relational

database

program

that

is

written

entirely

in

Java

and

is

supported

on

any

certified

Java

Virtual

Machine

(JVM).

Running

Cloudscape

requires

a

certified

JVM

and

at

least

4MB

of

available

memory.

The

repository

can

be

installed

on

the

following

computers:

v

ImageUltra

Builder

server

v

ImageUltra

Builder

console

v

Shared

disk

of

another

computer

(where

the

server

or

console

program

is

installed)

v

The

computer

intended

to

be

used

as

both

the

console

and

server

computer.

Notes:

1.

Additional

storage

is

required

for

repositories.

So

make

sure

you

have

enough

storage

for

future

growth.

2.

The

repository

must

be

accessible

to

the

ImageUltra

console,

the

source

computer

for

import

operations,

and

any

target

computer

that

will

have

a

Smart

Image

deployed

over

the

network.

v

When

building

driver

modules,

use

only

certified

Microsoft

WHQL

device

drivers.

Device

drivers

must

have

an.INF

file

extension

to

install

correctly.

Building

modules

with

unsigned

device

drivers

might

cause

Windows

to

display

information

messages

during

installation,

thereby

preventing

an

image

from

installing

in

an

unattended

manner.

v

Research

compatibility

between

operating

systems

and

versions

of

Symantec

Norton

Ghost,

Symantec

DeployCenter,

and

Microsoft

ImageX

before

you

begin

creating

Portable-Sysprep

Images

or

Hardware-Specific

Images.

v

If

you

intend

to

use

stand-alone

Distribution

Media

or

Network

Deployment

Media,

the

ImageUltra

Builder

program

can

create

CDs,

DVDs,

USB

Keys,

and

USB

hard

disk

drives

(hard

disk

drives).

v

One

repository

is

sufficient

for

most

environments,

you

can

create

additional

repositories

using

the

New

Repository

Wizard.

Before

creating

multiple

repositories,

it

is

a

good

idea

to

develop

a

repository

strategy.

Consider

the

following:

When

you

create

a

new

repository,

make

sure

you

assign

it

a

unique

ID

that

has

not

been

used

for

any

other

repository

in

your

company.

If

you

have

duplicate

IDs,

and

import

modules

from

a

source

computer

that

has

a

Smart

Image

that

was

deployed

from

a

different

repository,

there

is

a

chance

that

modules

can

get

overwritten.

All

modules

defined

in

a

map

must

be

in

the

same

repository

as

the

map.

The

driver

map

and

base

map

used

for

deployment

must

be

in

the

same

repository.

v

Consider

using

a

separate

server

to

back

up

your

module

repository.
