Auto Mode
Use Auto mode to image the computer automatically, based on any applicable NDS policies and
settings. The imaging engine runs in this mode if you let the imaging bootup process proceed
without interruption, or if you type the command below at the Linux prompt.
To use the Auto mode:
1 Enter img to display a menu > select Auto.
or
Enter the following:
img auto
In this mode, the imaging engine queries the imaging server specified in the PROXYADDR
environment variable for any work to do. The imaging server checks the relevant NDS policies
and settings to determine what imaging tasks should be performed (if any), such as taking or laying
down an image. It then instructs the imaging engine to perform those tasks. If any tasks involve
storing or retrieving images on other imaging servers, the imaging server refers the imaging engine
to those servers to complete those tasks. After the imaging engine has completed its work, it
communicates the results to the original imaging server, and the results are logged on that server.
For information on configuring the NDS policies and settings that control what happens in this
mode, see Setting Up Imaging Services in Workstation Imaging in Deployment.
Make Mode
Use the Make mode to take an image of the computer and store it in a specified location. Normally,
all partitions on hard disks and other storage devices (such as Jaz* drives) are included in the
image, but there are some exceptions noted below.
The image size will correspond roughly to the size of the data in the Windows partitions plus the
entire size of any non-Windows partitions (such as NetWare partitions). Linux partitions and
Compaq* configuration partitions are always excluded. The data from Windows partitions is
stored in an intelligent, file-by-file format so you can customize it later using the Image Explorer
(IMGEXP.EXE) utility. Non-Windows partitions are stored in a raw, bit-by-bit format that cannot
be customized.
The syntax of this mode depends on whether you will store the image locally or on an imaging
(proxy) server, as explained in the subsections below:
“Make Locally” on page 226
“Make on Proxy” on page 228
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 Setting Up
Disconnected Imaging Operations in Setting Up Imaging Services in Workstation Imaging in
Deployment.
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 imaging
(Linux) partition. Type the image path and filename. If you are using compression, select a
