Normally, allpartitions on the local hard disks are included in the image, but there are some exceptions noted inTable E-1 on page 619.You can take an image of a device using either the bash prompt or using the ZENworks ImagingEngine menu. For step-by-step instructions, see “Manually Taking an Image of a Device” onpage 405. You can also use the Make Locally mode to take an image of the device and store it in apartition on a local hard disk. For step-by-step instructions, see Section 30.1.3, “Setting UpDisconnected Imaging Operations,” on page 414.The image size corresponds to about half the size of the data in all of the device’s partitions, exceptthat the ZENworks partition and Compaq or Dell configuration partitions are always excluded.Devices with logical volumes (LVMs) are not supported for imaging.The syntax of this mode depends on whether you store the image locally or on an imaging (proxy)server.The following sections contain additional information: Section E.3.1, “Make Locally (img makel),” on page 619 Section E.3.2, “Make to Proxy (img makep),” on page 620E.3.1 Make Locally (img makel)Using the bash prompt, the following example explains the syntax and available parameters that youcan use with the makel “make locally” parameter:img makel[pNumber] filepath [comp=comp level] [xpartition]CommandsTable E-1 makel CommandsParameter Specifiesmakel[pNumber] The partition number (as displayed by img dump) of the local partition for where tostore the image. It must be a primary partition. This partition is excluded from theimage that is created.If you omit the partition number from this parameter, the image is stored in thelocal ZENworks partition.filepath The image filename, including a .zmg extension (case sensitive) and the completepath from the root of the partition. The directories in the path must exist. If the filealready exists, it is overwritten. However, you are prompted to verify whether tooverwrite.
