For information on configuring the settings that control what happens in this mode, see Section 29.4,
“Configuring Preboot Services Defaults,” on page 379 .
E.3 Make Mode (img make)
Use the Make mode to take an image of the device and store it in a specified location. Normally, all
partitions on the local hard disks are included in the image, but there are some exceptions noted in
Table E-1 on page 633 .
You can take an image of a device using either the bash prompt or using the ZENworks Imaging
Engine menu. For step-by-step instructions, see
“Manually Taking an Image of a Device” on
page 415 . You can also use the Make Locally mode to take an image of the device and store it in a
partition on a local hard disk. For step-by-step instructions, see Section 30.1.3, “Setting Up
Disconnected Imaging Operations,” on page 424 .
The image size corresponds to about half the size of the data in all of the device’s partitions, except
that the ZENworks partition and Compaq or Dell configuration partitions are always excluded.
Devices with logical volumes (LVMs) are not supported for imaging.
The syntax of this mode depends on whether you store the image locally or on an imaging (proxy)
server.
The following sections contain additional information:

“make locally” parameter:

makel Commands
Parameter Specifies
makel[ pNumber ] The partition number (as displayed by img dump ) of the local partition for where to
store the image. It must be a primary partition. This partition is excluded from the
image that is created.
If you omit the partition number from this parameter, the image is stored in the
local ZENworks partition.
filepath The image filename, including a .zmg extension (case sensitive) and the complete
path from the root of the partition. The directories in the path must exist. If the file
already exists, it is overwritten. However, you are prompted to verify whether to
overwrite.
