30.1.2 Performing Manual Imaging Tasks
The following manual imaging tasks are available:
Š
“Manually Taking an Image of a Device” on page 405
Š “Using Image Explorer to Customize an Image” on page 408
Š
“Creating an Add-On Image” on page 409
Š “Manually Putting an Image on a Device” on page 410
Š
“Making an Image Available for Automatic Imaging” on page 413
These instructions assume that you have already prepared the imaging server (see Section 29.1,
“Preparing a Preboot Services Server,” on page 345 ), prepared devices for imaging (see
Section 29.7, “Setting Up Devices for Imaging,” on page 393 ), and set up imaging defaults
( Section 29.4, “Configuring Preboot Services Defaults,” on page 371 ).
ZENworks Linux Management imaging supports devices that physically connect to the network and
that meet the minimum requirements for devices. ZENworks Linux Management imaging does not
support imaging operations (creating or restoring images) using wireless connectivity.
Manually Taking an Image of a Device
This section explains how to take an image of a device by booting from an imaging method and
entering a particular imaging command. The image is stored on your imaging server.
If you want to store an image locally rather than on an imaging server, see “Using a CD or DVD for
Disconnected Imaging Operations” on page 415 and “Using a Hard Disk for Disconnected Imaging
Operations” on page 416 .
Ensure that your imaging server has enough disk space for the image. Otherwise, you receive a
“Failed to write to proxy” error.
The following sections contain additional information:

Manually Taking an Image of a Device Using the Bash Prompt
1 Boot the device using one of the following methods:
Š
If the device is PXE-enabled, boot it from the Preboot Services imaging server. For more
information, see
Section 29.2.1, “Using Preboot Services (PXE),” on page 346 .
Š
Boot the device using an imaging boot CD or DVD. For more information, see
Section 29.2.2, “Preparing Imaging Boot CDs or DVDs,” on page 346 .
Š Boot the device from the ZENworks partition. For more information, see “Creating a
ZENworks Partition” on page 354 .
