Additional network requirements for SA Provisioning

Following are the additional requirements for SA Provisioning:

Host name resolution

For Windows SA Provisioning, the host name buildmgr must resolve on all Windows OS installation clients.

The SA Core host names must resolve using the DNS search order and DNS server information that the DHCP server provides. The DHCP server provides the DNS server IP address and the DNS search order. For each subnet you configure with the SA DHCP Configuration Tool, the DNS domain used by that subnet must have a DNS entry for buildmgr.

For example, you could have two subnets with the following domain names:

subnet1.example.com
subnet2.example.com
.

Therefore, there must be two DNS entries for buildmgr:

buildmgr.subnet1.example.com
buildmgr.subnet2.example.com.

The host running the SA Provisioning Media Server must be able to resolve the IP address to the host name (reverse lookup) for any server being provisioned.

See also Host and service name resolution requirements.

Open ports

Any server on which an OS is to be provisioned must meet the same requirements for connectivity to the SA Core network as any managed server. For details, see Required open ports.
