D.5 Configuring the Destination Disk Structure Before Restoring a WIM Image

ZENworks 10 Configuration Management allows you to configure the disk structure of the destination device on which you want to restore a WIM image. During the restoration of the WIM, the disk of the destination device is automatically partitioned according to the newly configured structure and the image is restored on the new partitions.

You can configure the destination disk structure only if the image is restored in one of the following modes:

To configure the disk structure of the destination device, do the following before restoring a WIM image:

  1. Manually create an XML file with the filename as WIM_image_name-wim.xml with the following content:

    <ZENWORKS>
    
      <Disk Number="1">
        <Partition Number="1" Type="1" Size="14998" Offset="1" Active="1" FSType="NTFS" Drive="C:"> </Partition> 
        <Partition Number="0" Type="2" Size="99378" Offset="14999" Active="0" FSType="NA" Drive=""> </Partition>
       <Partition Number="2" Type="4" Size="24999" Offset="15000" Active="0" FSType="NTFS" Drive="D:"> </Partition>
      </Disk>
    
      <Disk Number="2">
        <Partition Number="1" Type="1" Size="14998" Offset="1" Active="1" FSType="NTFS" Drive="C:"> </Partition>
        <Partition Number="0" Type="2" Size="99378" Offset="14999" Active="0" FSType="NA" Drive=""> </Partition>
       <Partition Number="2" Type="4" Size="24999" Offset="15000" Active="0" FSType="NTFS" Drive="D:"> </Partition>
      </Disk>
      ...
    
      </ZENWORKS>
    
  2. Save the WIM_image_name-wim.xml created in Step 1 in the same location as the WIM image file.

Ensure to follow these guidelines as you work with the XML file:
