Making an Image Available for Automatic Imaging
When you boot a device from an imaging method and allow the boot process to proceed in auto-
imaging mode, the imaging operation that is performed on the device is determined by default
Preboot Services settings that you define in the ZENworks Control Center.
Creating a Preboot Services bundle also allows you to combine a base image and one or more add-
on images into a single entity that can be put down on target devices. You can specify a standard
image file to put down, or you can create a script to further customize your imaging operation. You
can also specify that a particular file set of an image be used.
The sections that follow give instructions for performing these tasks:
Š
“Creating a Base Image” on page 413
Š “Associating an Add-On Image with a Base Image” on page 413

“Using a File Set of an Image” on page 414
Creating a Base Image
1
Create the base image using one of the following methods:
Š
ZENworks Control Center: See “Taking a Base Image of a Device” on page 398 .
Š Manually from a bash prompt: See “Manually Taking an Image of a Device” on
page 405 .
2 After the base image is created, perform one of the following procedures in the ZENworks
Control Center:
Š
If you created the image using a Preboot bundle, assign the bundle to the devices to be
imaged:
1. In the ZENworks Control Center, click Bundles , click the bundle containing the base
image that you want to associate the add-on images with, then click Details .
2. In the Assignments section, click Add to start the Assign Bundle wizard.
3. Click Add to open the Select Objects dialog box.
4. Select the devices or groups containing devices, then click OK .
5. Click Next to display the Summary page, then click Finish > OK to assign the devices
to the bundle and exit the wizard.
Š
If you created the image manually, assign the image to a Preboot Image bundle, then
assign that bundle to the devices to be imaged:
1. Follow the instructions in “Configuring the ZENworks Image Bundle for Automatic
Imaging” on page 400 .
2. In Step 10 on page 404 , click Next to assign the bundle to the devices.
The next time these devices boot, they are imaged from this Preboot bundle.
Associating an Add-On Image with a Base Image
1 Create the add-on image to associate with the base image. For more information, see “Creating
an Add-On Image” on page 409 .
2 Copy the add-on image file to a ZENworks Linux Management imaging server that is
accessible as a server object in your eDirectory tree.
