Setting Up Disconnected Imaging Operations 465

44 Setting Up Disconnected Imaging Operations

Disconnected imaging operations are inherently manual in the sense that they don’t involve the

network and thus can’t be automated through NDS

or Novell

eDirectory

To perform a disconnected imaging operation on a computer, you must have a storage device to

hold the image that will be created or put down, and that storage device must be locally accessible

to the imaging engine (in Linux) when you boot the computer from the imaging device. The

following sections explain how to set up and perform disconnected operations using different

storage devices:

 “Using a CD” on page 465

 “Using a Hard Disk or Jaz Drive” on page 466

Using a CD

Because a CD is read-only, you can only use it as the storage medium for an image that will be put

down, not for an image that will be created. The steps to put down an image from a CD depend on

whether the CD is the imaging boot CD or some other (non-bootable) CD.

To put down an image from the imaging boot CD:

1 Use your CD-burning software to put the source image on the imaging boot CD. See

“Preparing an Imaging Boot CD” on page 448 for details.

2 Boot the target computer from the CD and type manual at the boot prompt.

If the computer fails to boot, see Can't Boot a Workstation from the Imaging Boot CD in

Troubleshooting Workstation Imaging in the ZENworks for Desktops 4 Troubleshooting

Guide guide.

3 At the Linux prompt, type img dump to view the available partitions. Note the partition

number of the imaging boot CD.

Type img to display a menu > select Dump > No Geometry.

4 To put down the image, you have two choices:

 You can use a command of the following format:

img restorelpNumber /path/image.zmg

where pNumber is the partition number of the imaging boot CD and path and image are

the image path and filename from the root of the imaging boot CD.

 You can type img to display a menu > select Restore an Image > Local Image. Select

Local Linux File System (because the image resides on the imaging boot CD, which is

the current local Linux file system). Type the image path and filename. Specify any

advanced parameters, such as sfileset or apartition:ppartition.
