Deployment

Overview

You can use IBM ToolsCenter Bootable Media Creator to create bootable media that is suitable for applying firmware updates, running preboot diagnostics, and deploying Microsoft Windows operating systems on supported systems.

IBM System x and BladeCenter tools each have their own bootable CD. Using IBM ToolsCenter Bootable Media Creator, you can create a single bootable image on supported media (such as CD, DVD, ISO image, USB flash drive, or set of PXE files) that bundles multiple IBM System x and BladeCenter tools and updates from UpdateXpress System Packs, which contain Windows and Linux firmware and device driver updates. You can also create an IBM ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD for deploying Windows operating systems and updates on supported systems.
