9: USB Boot Client
9.0 USB Boot Client Introduction
A USB (iSCSI) Boot Client (bootable USB flash drive) is available. The bootable flash drive allows the
cloning of a Master drive from a computer on the same network without booting the native Operating
System on the computer and can be imaged without having to remove the drive from the computer. It
also allows the cloning from a drive connected to the ZXi-10G (or a ZXi-10G image file) to another
computer (as a Target) without having to disconnect or remove the drive.
9.1 Requirements
To create the USB Boot Client, the following are required:
•
Your own 1 GB or larger capacity USB flash drive
•
A computer with Microsoft Windows
To use the USB Boot Client with the ZXi-10G, the following are required:
•
The ZXi-10G connected to a network (or directly to the computer to be cloned/imaged)
•
The computer to be cloned/imaged with a wired connection to the same network (or directly
to the ZXi-10G)
9.2 Creating the USB Boot Client
Here are the steps to create the USB Boot Client with the software necessary to be bootable, and when
used to boot a computer, will allow the ZXi-
10G to use the computer’s drive as a Master or Target
drive.
