Make Locally
Use the Make Locally mode to take an image of the computer and store it in a partition on a local
(writable) device, such as a hard disk or Jaz drive. For more information, see Chapter 44, “Setting
Up Disconnected Imaging Operations,” on page 465.
To use the Make Locally mode:
1 Enter img to display a menu > select Make an Image > Local Image. Select the partition to
store the image in, or Local Linux File System to store the image in the local ZfD Workstation
Imaging (Linux) partition. Type the image path and filename. If you are using compression,
select a compression option. (Optimize for Speed takes the least amount of time but creates
the largest image file. Optimize for Space creates the smallest image file but might take a
significant amount of time. Balanced is a compromise between compression time and image
file size.) Specify any advanced parameters, such as xpartition. If you want, specify additional
information in the Description (a description of the image), Machine Name (the computer on
which the image is being stored), Author (the name of the person entering this information),
and Comments (any additional comments) fields.
or
Enter the following:
img makel[pNumber] filepath [comp=comp level] [xpartition]
Parameter Specifies
makel[pNumber] The partition number (as displayed by img dump) of the local partition to store the image in. It must be
a primary FAT16 or FAT32 partition. This partition is excluded from the image that’s created.
If you omit the partition number from this parameter, the image is stored in the local ZfD imaging partition.
filepath The image filename, including a .zmg extension and the complete path from the root of the partition. The
directories in the path must exist. If the file already exists, it will be overwritten.
[comp=comp level]
comp level is the amount of compression used when creating the image. Specify any number from 0-9.
0 means no compression. 1 is the same as Optimize for Speed and is used by default if you do not
specify this parameter. 6 is the same as Balanced. 9 is the same as Optimize for Space. See the
paragraph in Step 1 on page 491 for more information.
xpartition The partition number (as displayed by
img dump) of a local partition to exclude from the image. You can
repeat this parameter as needed to exclude multiple partitions.
If you omit this parameter, all partitions are included in the image except the one where the image will
be stored.
Example Explanation
img makel8 /imgs/dellnt.zmg Takes an image of all partitions except the one in slot 8 and saves the image to
imgs/dellnt.zmg in the partition in slot 8. (Assumes slot 8 contains a primary FAT16
or FAT32 partition.)
img makel /imgs/dellnt.zmg Takes an image of all partitions and saves it to imgs/dellnt.zmg in the ZfD imaging
partition. (Assumes the ZfD imaging partition has been installed.)
img makel /imgs/dellnt.zmg x2 x3 Takes an image of all partitions except those in slots 2 and 3 and saves the image
to imgs/dellnt.zmg in the ZfD imaging partition. (Assumes the ZfD imaging
partition has been installed.)
