Well, it's tricky. I think there are a few options: - In the host, have a expandable sub-menu that has all the capsules / proxies listed? - In a hostgroup, have an option to download a boot disk (based on the content server settings?) - Actually have a boot disk download from the capsule / proxy settings themselves? - A combination of these?
Certainly having it named subnet is just plain incorrect as has been mentioned before, there is *nothing* subnet specific - further in order to generate a subnet (capsule / proxy!) disk image, you *have* to have a TFTP capsule set - there is no technical reason for this though. Also, having to go to a host (and adjusting the subnet settings) just to get generic ISO(s) is rather less than optimal as there is nowhere else to get this! For example, we have 4 (key, default) ISO's. 1 for each region - they point to our regional load balancers. But to get these, we have to create a generic host. Adjust the hosts subnet (to get the right capsule in the subnet settings). Put the server into build mode. Download a subnet ISO. Delete the host. Neither obvious nor intuitive. >From the top of my head, I can't remember the name they get, but I'd suggest the capsule / proxy image is named after, well, the capsule / proxy.
