The restorep parameter stands for “restore from proxy,” which retrieves an image from the
imaging (proxy) server and puts it on this device. The IP address or DNS name should be
that of your imaging server, and the UNC path specifies the location and filename where
the image is to be retrieved from.
For example:
img restorep 137.65.95.127 //xyz_srv/sys/imgs/cpqnt.zmg
Š
To retrieve an image from a local device and put it down on a device:
img restorel filepath
The restorel parameter stands for “restore from local,” which retrieves an image from a
local device and puts it on this device.
Filepath represents the filename of the image to
retrieve, including the
.zmg
extension (case-sensitive) and the complete path from the root
of the partition.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to use forward slashes in the UNC path as shown above.
Backslashes aren’t recognized by Linux. However, you can use backslashes and enclose the
entire UNC path in quotes. The server portion of the path must be the name of your imaging
server.
If you want to manually restore an image from a folder that uses extended or double-byte
characters in its name, you should perform an automatic image restoration. For more
information, see
Section 28.5.2, “Creating, Installing, and Restoring Standard Images,” on
page 346 or Section 28.5.4, “Restoring Lab Devices to a Clean State,” on page 347 .
For more information on the parameters you can use and usage examples, see Section E.4,
“Restore Mode (img restore),” on page 635 .
Depending on the size of the image, it might take several minutes to put the image down.
Images usually take slightly longer to put down than they do to take.
7 (Optional) After the image is put down and the bash prompt is displayed, type
img dump
, then
press Enter.
As before, this displays a list of the partition slots on the device. You should now see
information about the new partitions that are created and activated by the image that you just
put down.
8 At the bash prompt, type
lilo.s
, then press Enter.
9 Remove any CD or DVD from the drive and reboot the device.
10 Verify that the device boots to the operating system that was installed by the new image.
Manually Putting an Image on a Device Using the ZENworks Imaging Engine Menu
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.
