Make on Proxy
Use the Make on Proxy mode to take an image of the computer and store it on an imaging (proxy)
server. For more information, see “Manually Taking an Image of a Workstation” on page 462.
To use the Make on Proxy mode:
1 Enter img to display a menu > select Make an Image > Proxy Image. Type the IP address or
DNS name of your imaging server. Type the UNC path and filename where the new image is
to be stored on the imaging (proxy) server. If you are using compression, select a compression
option. (Optimize for Speed takes the least amount of time but creates the largest image file.
Optimize for Space creates the smallest image file but might take a significant amount of time.
Balanced is a compromise between compression time and image file size.) Specify any
advanced parameters, such as xpartition. If you want, specify additional information in the
Description (a description of the image), Machine Name (the computer on which the image is
being stored), Author (the name of the person entering this information), and Comments (any
additional comments) fields.
or
Enter the following:
img makep address filepath [comp=comp level] [xpartition]
Parameter Specifies
address The IP address or DNS name of the imaging server to store the image on.
filepath The image filename, including a .zmg extension and the complete path in UNC style. The directories in
the path must exist. If the file already exists, the imaging server won’t overwrite it unless you enable this
behavior in the imaging server’s policy in NDS or eDirectory. (See “Allowing Overwriting Filenames and
Restricting Save Location of Image Files (Imaging Server Settings)” on page 460.) If no folders are
specified in the path, the image is created at the root of the volume or drive where the ZfD Workstation
Imaging server software is installed.
IMPORTANT: Because Linux doesn’t recognize backslashes, you must use forward slashes in the
UNC path or enclose the entire path in quotes.
[comp=comp level]
comp level is the amount of compression used when creating the image. Specify any number from 0-9.
0 means no compression. 1 is the same as Optimize for Speed and is used by default if you do not
specify this parameter. 6 is the same as Balanced. 9 is the same as Optimize for Space.
xpartition The partition number (as displayed by
img dump) of a local partition to exclude from the image. You can
repeat this parameter as needed to exclude multiple partitions.
If you omit this parameter, all partitions are included in the image.
Example Explanation
img makep 137.65.95.127 //xyz_server/sys/imgs/dellnt.zmg Takes an image of all partitions and saves it to
sys/imgs/dellnt.zmg on xyz_server. (Assumes
137.65.95.127 is the IP address of xyz_server.)
img makep img.xyz.com //xyz_server/sys/imgs/dellnt.zmg x2 x3 Takes an image of all partitions except those in
slots 2 and 3 and saves the image to sys/imgs/
dellnt.zmg on xyz_server. (Assumes
img.xyz.com is the DNS name of xyz_server.)
