Snow Leopard server for 10.7 netboot image

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to create a netboot image of 10.7 using snow leopard server but it is not working. I have already created an image of Lion and then tranfered it over to my server (Snow Leopard). I have scanned the image for restore (not sure if this is needed) and then mounted it using Disk Utility. Now when I lauch SIU then i don't see my pre-created image as image source.

Can i create netboot image of 10.7 using Snow Leopard?

OR

If I created the netboot image using Lion Server and then tranfer the files over to Snow Leopard Server for all my client. Can i do this?

Thanks,

You need to create the 10.7 images, using the 10.7 tools, on a 10.7 system. You can host them from a 10.6 server after they are created if you like.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for your help.

So if I create the 10.7 netboot image using 10.7 server and then move the NetBootSP0 folder to SL server then it should be working, right?

Well, you'll want to move the .nbi folder inside of the NetBootSP0 folder to the NetBootSP0 folder on the 10.6 server. But effectively, yes, that's the approprate process.
