Introduction

HP Device Manager can read and write images to and from
supported clients. An image file (

.img

) is a binary file containing all

the data on a thin client’s flash storage. HP Device Manager
manages images through the

Repository Management

tool, which

also provides utilities to verify image integrity.

The

Imaging

templates for each OS tab provide various means of

reading and writing images depending on whether or not a PXE
Server is being used. A PXE image can be pulled from a device and
pushed to other devices using the

_PXE Imaging

template (see

page 147 and page 150, respectively).

Note:

Pushing and pulling images uses the PXE functions of HP

Device Manager and some DHCP server setups may conflict with
PXE. Should you experience problems with PXE, see “Configuring
DHCP Servers” on page 30.

The

_Update Image

template enables you to update a device using

an image from a specified FTP Repository without using a PXE
Server (see page 157). The

Neoware XPe

OS tab also includes a

_Clone XPe Image

template (see page 153).

Images &
Repository
Management

The

Repository Management

tool enables you to import image files

into the Repository and transfer image files between FTP Reposito-
ries. It also enables you to sign and verify PXE images. The

Reposi-

tory Management

tool is displayed by selecting

Tools

>

Repository

Management

from the Console’s menu bar. Select the relevant

Images

option from the

Select an element type to display

list.

Importing Images

Image files from an external source (i.e. not created from your local
HP Device Management System) can be imported into an FTP
Repository as described in the section “Importing an Element into
the Repository” on page 52.
