Disconnected imaging operations are inherently manual in the sense that they don't involve the network and thus can't be automated through Novell® eDirectoryTM.
To perform a disconnected imaging operation on a workstation, you must have a storage device to hold the image to be created or put down, and that storage device must be locally accessible to the imaging engine (in Linux) when you boot the workstation from the imaging device. The following sections explain how to set up and perform disconnected operations using several different storage devices:
You can also use other storage devices providing that they are locally accessible to the imaging engine (in Linux).
