D.6 Imaging Boot Parameter for PCMCIA Cards
When performing imaging work using CDs or DVDs, some computers (particularly laptops) with
PCMCIA cards can hang during the boot process. By default, ZENworks Linux Management allows
the loading of a PCMCIA driver when a device boots for imaging work. Although loading this
driver does not normally cause problems, you can use a command line parameter to prevent it from
loading.
To prevent the PCMCIA card manager from starting, enter the following at the bash prompt when
booting from a CD or DVD:
manual NoPCMCIA=1
D.7 Imaging Server
The imaging server is a software component of the Linux Management server. It enables imaging
clients to connect with the network to receive imaging services, including:
Š
Storage or retrieval of an image on a server
Š
Automatic imaging based on settings created in the ZENworks Control Center
Š
Logging of the results of an imaging operation
Š
A multicast imaging session
Use the imaging server software to do the following:

Section D.7.3, “Starting a Manual Multicast Session,” on page 630
D.7.1 Initiating the Imaging Processes
An imaging server daemon is initiated by running the script at the Linux terminal program command
line, which in turn calls the executable and uses the configuration set in the corresponding
.conf
file. Because the scripts do not normally accept parameters, but only arguments (such as
start
),
you can configure parameters in their corresponding
.conf
files.

ENTERPISE_NAME=
name
This feature is not supported in Novell ZENworks Linux Management.
This should be a valid Enterprise Name for an AMT device, such as
entZENworks. It allows imaging utilities to access image-safe data in
AMT NVRAM when AMT devices are disconnected from the ZENworks
Management Zone.
If you do not use this parameter for disconnected AMT devices, the
imaging utilities might not be able to keep the image-safe data up to
date.
netdevice=eth0 Selects a specific network adapter. If necessary, replace eth0 with the
correct interface.
noshell=1 Suppresses a secondary terminal program from displaying.
