After several seconds, the client will restart and boot from the CD. Windows
PE will load and a wizard will start. This allows the client to be connected to
the storage array Pending image space you created in step 1 on page 43 to
allow for placing an operating system in that space.

Deploying the image directly to the storage array
Using this method, you connect directly to the base image on the storage array
without using the client. Use this method only if there is an image file available for
installation to a hard disk drive and if you are familiar with using an iSCSI
initiator. An iSCSI initiator is included with Windows Vista or it can be
downloaded for XP from the following Web address:
Note:
Installation from a set of installation media or a physical hard disk drive
should use “Using bootable CD/DVD media” on page 41.
To deploy the desired image, complete the following steps:
1.
Determine how much space this image will require and create a new base
image. The new image appears in the Pending folder. Do not activate this
image until you have confirmed that this image is ready to create new users.
2.
From the LANDesk console, right click on the base image and select Properties.
An Image Properties dialog box appears. You will need the following
information:
v
ISCSI Initiator
v
Initiator User
v
Chap Secret
v
Target
3.
Go to the system that has an iSCSI initiator capable of connecting to the storage
array’s IP address.
4.
Change the settings of the system initiator to match the Initiator Name, User,
and Chap Secret information.
5.
Perform a discovery on the storage array’s IP address. This address can be
obtained from the Target information.
6.
The discovery should return a target that matches the Target name noted
above. If it does not, the iSCSI initiator settings were not entered correctly.
