13.0 Operating System Provisioning Components

VCM OS provisioning deploys operating system images onto target hosts that are network booted. The target machine

uses a PXE boot process to contact a DHCP server that identifies the OS Provisioning Server as the source of a

bootable image, referred to as a distribution. The target machine then requests the bootable distribution across TFTP,

boots the distribution, which in turn installs an operating system that is also retrieved from the OS Provisioning Server.

The OS Provisioning Server components consist of OS provisioning extensions to VCM and an OS Provisioning

Server. The components are displayed in the following figure.

Secure operation of the OS provisioning components requires the following security environment.
