Select the target operating systems on which you want to install the image. Click Next.
You can select multiple Windows or UNIX platforms for each image that you create. Alternatively, you can select the Local System option, which lets you create an image that can be installed only on computers with the same platform and configuration as the computer on which you are creating the image. This includes the service pack level.
Note
You cannot create an installable image that can be installed on both Windows and UNIX computers. You must create one image for all Windows operating systems and one image for all UNIX operating systems; however, you can create the images from either a Windows or UNIX computer.
When you create an installable image, the product configuration information that you enter, such as product installation directory, account names, passwords, and so forth, must be the same for all computers on which the image is installed. If you want to specify different product configuration values for different computers, you can perform the following actions:
-createcontrolfile
command line option to create a new control file to use with the image. For more information about , see Command line options.Note
If you created an installable image on a Windows computer to be installed on UNIX computers, you must make sure that the method that you use to transfer the image (for example, tarring the image) maintains execute permissions on the installable image files when you unpack the files on the UNIX computer. If the permissions are not maintained, you might receive an error message similar to the following when you try to install the image: "Error: Executable not found './thorinst.s25'.
To correct the file permissions, before you install the image, perform one of the following tasks depending on where the installable image directory resides:
Use one of the following methods to deploy the installable image to the target Windows computer:
