How to synchronize the Boot image and OS Image library with the Domain Manager?

Environment

Client Automation (ITCM) -- any version.

Resolution

To re-synchronize the Boot and OS image library of a scalability server:

On the remote SS/boot server:
1- Rename the following files:
..\CA\DSM\Server\SDBS\var\managedpc\bsmimgo.dat --> bsmimgo.dat.old
..\CA\DSM\Server\SDBS\var\managedpc\bsmimgb.dat --> bsmimgb.dat.old

2- After a few minutes, the missing Boot and OS image library should now be populated on the DM.
