ZENworks Imaging Engine
Commands
After booting a device from an imaging boot media, you can use the img command at the Linux
bash prompt or the ZENworks
®
Imaging Engine menu to do any of the following:
Š
Take an image of the device’s hard disks
Š
Put down an image on the device’s hard disks
Š
View or manipulate the device’s hard disk partitions
Š
View the device’s hardware configuration or image-safe data
Š
Display a menu from which you can also perform all of these tasks
The ZENworks Imaging Engine is installed to the
/bin
directory on the imaging boot device. If the
imaging boot device is a diskette, a CD, or DVD, the
/bin
directory is actually archived in the root
file, which is expanded during the imaging boot process. If the imaging boot method is Preboot
Services, the ZENworks Imaging Engine is downloaded to the device when booting.
Because the ZENworks Imaging Engine is a Linux application, the command syntax is case
sensitive. The overall syntax is:
img [ mode ]
where mode is any of the modes described in the following sections:
Š Section E.1, “Help Mode (img help),” on page 631
Š
Section E.2, “Automatic Mode (img auto),” on page 632
Š Section E.3, “Make Mode (img make),” on page 633
Š
Section E.4, “Restore Mode (img restore),” on page 635
Š Section E.5, “Session (Multicast) Mode (img session),” on page 639
Š
Section E.6, “Partition Mode (img part),” on page 641
Š Section E.7, “ZENworks Partition Mode (img zenPartition),” on page 642
Š
Section E.8, “Dump Mode (img dump),” on page 643
Š Section E.9, “Information Mode (img info),” on page 643
Each mode can be abbreviated to the first letter of its name. For example,
img dump
can be
abbreviated as
img d
.
To access the ZENworks Imaging Engine menu and perform all of these tasks, enter
img
with no
parameters.
E.1 Help Mode (img help)
