Hi all,
I have to admit that while I’ve watched over a lab of Macs and an OS X Server for several years, I’m still a novice at it. Despite that, I’ve managed to keep it going amongst my other sysadmin duties in a K-12 educational environment
We just procured a lab of 30 new iMac 20″ models, a new XServe, and a LaCie Biggest RAID box for backup, replacing our aging Graphite G4’s running 10.3 and our Quicksilver Panther server. My plan for this coming year was to make life easier by switching to Netboot, and making our logins more seamless as well. All has been going well with figuring out the transition, but I’m concerned about Final Cut Express HD, which I purchased with our machines to expand our horizons a little. It appears that Apple does not support running it under NetBoot from the docs I’ve found.
Has anyone here set this up successfully? I’m concerned first about the 30 individual serial numbers causing issues. I think I can get around any scratch disk issues by making a partition on the local iMac a scratch disk, but as I said, I’m swimming in unfamiliar waters. Any help any of you can provide would be most appreciated.
