What to do next
n Configure your DHCP server for provisioning. See "Configure DHCP" on the next page.
n (Optional) Add the OS Provisioning Server maintenance commands to the root user's path. The OS
Provisioning Server modifies the default shell profiles by adding /opt/FastScale/sbin to the root
account. When the user is root, the maintenance commands in /opt/FastScale/sbin are available
in the default path, and they are available when the profile is reloaded.
Uninstall the OS Provisioning Server
Uninstalling the OS Provisioning Server removes the provisioning application from the machine on which
it is installed. You must mount the OS Provisioning Server media and run the uninstall command.
