MANUALREBOOT Specifies whether you must reboot a device manually after it was
booted from the imaging boot media in automatic mode. If the device
was booted from the imaging boot media in manual mode, you must
always reboot the device manually.
If you boot a device from the imaging boot media and you let the boot
process proceed in automatic mode, the ZENworks Imaging Engine
starts and checks the imaging server to see if an imaging operation
should be performed on the device. If so, it performs the imaging
operation and quits. If not, it quits without doing anything.
What happens next depends on how you set this parameter:
Š
If you leave it commented out or set it to No, you are prompted to
remove the imaging boot media (if necessary) and press any key
to reboot the device to the native operating system.
Š
If you set this parameter to Yes, the device doesn’t reboot
automatically, but instead displays the Linux bash prompt, allowing
you to perform additional imaging-related tasks using the Linux
menu or at the command line. This is helpful if you want to do
things such as check the current partition information or the
image-safe data before booting to the native operating system.
Example: MANUALREBOOT=YES
PARTITIONSIZE 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 from the imaging boot media.
The default size is 150 MB. The minimum partition size is 50 MB. The
maximum size allowed is 2048 MB (2 GB).
If you plan to store an image in the ZENworks partition, such as to
enable the device to be restored to a certain state without connecting to
the network, you might want to specify a larger size on this parameter.
Example: PARTITIONSIZE=500
netsetup If you are using DHCP, keep this option enabled. If you are using a
specific IP address, replace “dhcp” with “1” and uncomment and
configure the other three IP address lines (HostIP, NETMASK, and
GATEWAY).
Example: netsetup=dhcp
HostIP The IP address used by a device to communicate on the network when
you boot the device from the imaging boot media, if a static IP address
is needed.
Example: HostIP=137.65.95.126
If you want DHCP to be used, leave this and the next two parameters
commented out.
NETMASK Specifies the subnet mask to be used by the device, if the device is
using a static IP address.
Example: NETMASK=255.255.252.0
If DHCP is being used, leave this parameter commented out.
