File sets provide an advantage because you can create a base image and modify it slightly for
various devices, instead of creating separate, somewhat different base images for each device.
However, because file sets only concern excluded files, if you add files to the base image using
Image Explorer, all file sets will include those additional files. If you don’t want them included
in a file set, you must use Image Explorer to exclude these new files from that file set.
There are a maximum of 10 file sets. Each of the ten file set numbers represents the original
base image, until you use Image Explorer and assign the results to a file set number.
IMPORTANT: If you create 10 different file sets, the original image can be lost. If you want to
maintain the original image’s information, do not use Image Explorer to assign exclusions to
file set 1, which is the default file set if you don’t select a file set when using this wizard.
Add: Accesses the Server and Path Information dialog box:
Š
Server object, IP, or DNS: The identity of the imaging server where the Novell
ZENworks Linux Management Imaging Agent ( novell-zislnx ) is installed and running,
and where the base image file is stored.
Š
File path on server: The full path to the base image file.
A device’s Image Safe Data, such as the device’s IP address and other identity information that
is defined for its ZENworks Control Center object, is contained on the hard drive that the
device boots from. This information can be lost if that hard drive needs to be replaced.
However, the following options allow you to retain a device’s IP address and other identity
information when replacing the hard drive.
These options are only applicable when this Preboot bundle is applied to a specific device. The
image used in this bundle must contain the device’s previous IP address and ZENworks
Control Center object information.
(Optional) Select one or both of the following options:
Š
Use the IP Address from Content in the Preboot Bundle Rather Than from the
Device’s Image Safe Data
Use this option if you have previously taken an image of the device and are using that
image with this Preboot bundle. This option causes the imaging process to write the
device’s IP address that is contained in this image to the Image Safe Data location on the
replacement hard drive.
Do not use this option if the image being used for this bundle was not previously made
from this device.
If you do not select this option, then:
Š If the device that this Preboot bundle is applied to is still using its primary hard drive
to boot from, the IP address in its Image Safe Data continues to be used.
or
Š
If the device that this Preboot bundle is applied to has been given a new hard drive to
boot from, but you do not have a previous image of the old hard drive, then the IP
address is assigned according to your ZENworks Management Zone configuration
for non-registered devices.
Š
Use the Identity Information from Content in the Preboot Bundle Rather Than from
the Device’s Image Safe Data
If you are using a previous image of this device, this option writes ZENworks Control
Center object identity information as contained in the image to the new hard drive’s Image
Safe Data location, which allows the device to retain its ZENworks Control Center object.
