allowing you to perform additional imaging-related tasks at the command line. This is helpful
if you want to do things like check the current partition information or the image-safe data
before rebooting to the native operating system.
ZENworks Partition Size (MB): Specifies the number of megabytes to allocate to the
ZENworks partition if you choose to create one locally on a device when you boot the device
with the bootable diskette. The default size is 150 MB, which is the smallest you should make
the partition. The maximum size allowed is 2048 MB (2 GB).
4 (Optional) In the Workstation IP Settings section on the CD Media Boot page, fill in the fields:
Use DHCP: Specifies to obtain an IP address dynamically through DHCP. Use this option only
if DHCP is configured on your network.
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux, using the DHCP option causes a “Could not look up Internet
address...” message to be displayed during bootup. This is because zislnx does not know the IP
address when DHCP is being used, so the
/etc/hosts
file contained in the image does not
have the new IP address and host name. Simply select the Log In Anyway option to continue.
Then to prevent this message from displaying each time the device boots, edit the
/etc/hosts
file on the device and add in its IP address.
Use the Following Static Address Information: Specifies to use a static IP address. If you
select this option, fill in the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway to be used.
DNS button: This option is active only if a static IP address for the device is specified.
Š DNS Nameserver: You must specify a nameserver if you want to use DNS to connect to
servers.
You can specify the addresses of as many DNS nameservers as you want. You can edit or
remove the nameserver addresses, or you can move the addresses up and down in the list
to specify the order used for contacting them.
Š
Domain Suffix: You can also specify as many DNS domain suffixes as you want. The
editing, moving, and removal functions are also available for the suffixes.
