464 ZENworks for Desktops 4.0.1 Administration Guide
Novell Confidential Manual (99a) 28 October 2003
This displays a list of the partition slots on the workstation. 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.
or
Type img to display a menu > select Dump > No Geometry.
7 To put the new image on the workstation, you have two choices:
You can enter a command at the bash prompt using the following format:
img restorep serverIPaddr_or_DNSname //uncpath/newimg.zmg
The restorep parameter stands for "restore from proxy," or in other words, retrieve an
image from the imaging (proxy) server and put it on this workstation. 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
IMPORTANT: Make sure to use forward slashes in the UNC path as shown above. Backslashes
aren’t recognized by Linux. Alternatively, 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.
You can type img to display a menu > select Restore an Image > Proxy Image. Type the
IP address or DNS name of the imaging (proxy) server. Type the UNC path and filename
where the image is to be retrieved from. Specify any advanced parameters, such as sfileset
or apartition:ppartition.
For details on this and other related img command parameters, see “Imaging Engine
(Img: Command Line and Menu)” on page 488.
Depending on the size of the image, it might take several minutes to put the image down.
Images actually take slightly longer to put down than they do to take. If the screen goes blank,
just press any key. (Linux enters a screen-saving mode after a few minutes.)
8 (Optional) When the image has been put down and the bash prompt reappears, type img
dump > press Enter.
or
Type img to display a menu > select Dump > No Geometry.
As before, this displays a list of the partition slots on the workstation. You should now see
information about the new partitions that were created and activated by the image that you just
put down.
9 At the bash prompt, type lilo.s > press Enter.
10 Remove any diskettes from the drive and reboot the workstation. Verify that it boots to the
operating system that was installed by the new image.
