Manually Putting an Image on a Device
The section explains how to put an image on the device by booting from an imaging method and
entering a particular imaging command. The image is retrieved from your imaging server.
Ensure that the device receiving a new image has enough disk space for the image. Otherwise, you
receive a “Failed to write to proxy” error.
The following sections contain additional information:

Manually Putting an Image on a Device Using the Bash Prompt
1
If you haven’t already done so, create the image to put on the device, as instructed in
“Manually Taking an Image of a Device” on page 415 .
Make sure that the image is of the same type of device (same hardware configuration) and is
stored on your imaging server. You can use a previous image of the same device.
IMPORTANT: If you are putting an image on a device without a ZENworks partition, make
sure the image was made on a device without a ZENworks partition. Otherwise, the wrong
MBR (Master Boot Record) is restored, and the device fails to boot.
2 (Optional) Boot the device from a Windows startup disk and run
fdisk
to remove all partitions
from the hard disk.
Running
fdisk
is not required, but it is recommended for purposes of comparing workstation
or server partitions before and after the imaging operation.
3 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 354 .
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 354 .
Š
Boot the device from the ZENworks partition. For more information, see “Creating a
ZENworks Partition” on page 362 .
4
Enter
manual
at the bash prompt.
This step is not the same as in the previous step’s manual processes.
5 (Optional) At the bash prompt, type
img dump
, then press Enter to display a list of the partition
slots on the device.
For your reference, note the number and type of partitions and which one is active. If you
removed all partitions using
fdisk
, each slot should be empty and none should be active.
6 Enter a command at the bash prompt using one of the following formats:
Š To restore an image from the imaging server and put it down on a device, enter:
img restorep serverIPaddr_or_DNSname // uncpath / newimg .zmg
