Why Use Custom Installation Media?

You have systems that lack network boot capability, so a two-step media recovery process is required to contact the Ignite-UX server.

You have a large number of systems that are basically identical, and the networking does not allow easy or fast access to an Ignite-UX server, perhaps due to dispersed geography or for security reasons. For common configuration installation solutions, use a golden image. Golden image creation is described in Chapter 11.

You want a disaster recovery image of a system. For system-specific recovery solutions, you should use a recovery image. Recovery image creation is described in Chapter 15: “Recovery Methods”.
