Imaging Engine (Img: Command Line and Menu)

After booting a workstation from an imaging device, you can use the img command at the Linux bash prompt or the ZENworks Imaging Engine menu to do any of the following:

The imaging engine is installed to the \bin folder on the imaging boot device. If the imaging boot device is diskettes (SP1 only), a CD, or DVD, the \bin folder is actually archived in the root.tgz file, which is expanded during the imaging bootup process. If the imaging boot method is Preboot Services, the imaging engine is downloaded to the workstation during bootup.

Because the imaging engine is a Linux application, the command syntax is case-sensitive. The overall syntax is:

img [mode]

where mode is any of the modes described in the sections below.

NOTE:  Each mode can be abbreviated to the first letter of its name. For example, img dump can be abbreviated img d.

To access the ZENworks Imaging Engine menu from which to perform all of these tasks, enter img with no parameters.
