would result in data loss, in which case the ZENworks Imaging Engine denies the requested
operation. If there is extra space left after all partitions in the image have been restored to their
original sizes, that space is left unpartitioned.
If the image to be put down is an add-on image , or if it’s a base image and you specify the
a partition :p partition parameter, none of the existing physical partitions are removed. Instead, the
appropriate partitions are merely updated with the files from the image, overwriting any existing file
of the same name and location.
Restoring add-on images over 4 GB in size is not supported by Linux Management imaging.
The syntax of this mode depends on whether you will retrieve the image from a local device or from
an imaging (proxy) server, as explained in the subsections below:
Š
Section E.4.1, “Restore from Local (img restorel),” on page 636
Š
Section E.4.2, “Restore from Proxy (img restorep),” on page 638
E.4.1 Restore from Local (img restorel)
Use the Restore from Local mode to retrieve an image from a local device and put it down on the
device. For more information, see
Section 30.1.3, “Setting Up Disconnected Imaging Operations,”
on page 424 .
Using the bash prompt, the following example explains the syntax and available parameters that you
can use with the
restorel
“restore from local” parameter:
img restorel[ pNumber ] filepath [s fileset ] [a partition :p partition ]
Commands
Table E-5
restorel Commands
Parameter Specifies
restorel[ pNumber ] The partition number (as displayed by img dump ) of the local partition to retrieve
the image from. It must be a primary partition. This partition is not changed by the
imaging operation.
If you omit the partition number from this parameter, the image is retrieved from
the local ZENworks partition.
filepath The filename of the image to retrieve, including the
.zmg
extension (case-
sensitive) and the complete path from the root of the partition.
s fileset The number of the image file set to put down. Valid values are 1 through 10. For
information on creating file sets of an image, see
Section 28.5.2, “Creating,
Installing, and Restoring Standard Images,” on page 346 .
If you omit this parameter, file set 1 is used.
