Using the Imaging Server
In most environments, the imaging server starts automatically when you reboot the server after
installing ZfD. With NDS eDirectory
TM
8.5 on Windows, you must start the imaging server
manually as follows: from the folder where NDS is installed, double-click NDSCONS.EXE >
select the IMGSRV.DLM service > click Start. You might also want to click Startup to configure
the service to start automatically each time the server reboots.
Once the imaging server has started, you can view information about the status and results of the
imaging requests that it has received from imaging clients. A statistical summary of these requests
is shown on the server console (NetWare) or in a window accessible from the system tray
(Windows). The statistics shown on this screen are explained below. All statistics are reset to zero
if you restart the imaging server.
Imaging Server Log (ZIMGLOG.XML)
ZIMGLOG.XML is a chronological record of all the imaging requests that have been received by
the imaging server since it was installed and first started, including requests merely to log
information about imaging operations serviced elsewhere. For each imaging request, the imaging
server logs information such as the source, type, date/time, and results of the request.
ZIMGLOG.XML is created on a NetWare server in SYS:\SYSTEM or on a Windows server at the
root of the drive where NDS is installed (such as C:\).
Statistic Specifies
Update Requests The number of imaging requests of any kind that have been received by the
imaging server since it was started. This includes requests that failed, were
denied, or were referred to other imaging servers (see Client Referrals below).
Information about each of these requests, such as the source, type, date/time,
and results, is logged on the imaging server as explained in “Imaging Server
Log (ZIMGLOG.XML)” on page 238.
Images Sent The number of images that the imaging server has sent to imaging clients since
the imaging server was started. This includes only images that were retrieved
from this imaging server. See Client Referrals below for more information.
Images Received The number of new images that have been received and stored on the imaging
server since it was started. This includes images that were received through
client referrals as explained below.
Client Referrals The number of client requests that have been referred (redirected) by the
imaging server to other imaging servers since this imaging server was started.
Such referrals are made only when the client is running in auto-imaging mode
and the imaging server determines from NDS that the image to be created or
retrieved is on a different imaging server.
IMPORTANT: If a client is running in manual imaging mode and it requests to
store or retrieve an image on a different imaging server, the request is denied
and an error is returned to the client. Referrals are currently supported only
when the client is running in auto-imaging mode.
