Using a CD or DVD for Disconnected Imaging Operations
In ZENworks Linux Management, you can use CDs and DVDs only as the storage medium for an
image to put down, not for an image to be created.
You can put down an image from a bootable or non-bootable imaging CD or DVD using either the
bash prompt or using the ZENworks Imaging Engine menu.
The following sections contain additional information:
"Putting Down an Image Using the Bash Prompt" on page 415
"Putting Down an Image Using the ZENworks Imaging Engine Menu" on page 415
Putting Down an Image Using the Bash Prompt
1 Use your CD- or DVD-burning software to burn the source image onto a CD or DVD.
2 Boot the device using one of the following methods:
If the device is PXE-enabled, boot it from the Preboot Services imaging server. For more
information, see
Boot the device using an imaging boot CD or DVD. For more information, see
Section 29.2.2, "Preparing Imaging Boot CDs or DVDs," on page
Boot the device from the ZENworks partition. For more information, see

3 Enter manual from the bash prompt.
4 Insert the CD or DVD that contains the source image.
5 At the Linux prompt, enter cdrom.s to mount the CD or DVD.
This mounts the CD or DVD to /mnt/cdrom.
6 Enter a command using the following format:
img restorel /mnt/cdrom/path/image_name.zmg
where path and image_name are the path and filename of the image relative to the root of the
CD or DVD.
7 When the imaging is done, remove the imaging boot media (if applicable) and do the following
to boot the device with the new image:
7a At the Linux prompt, type lilo.s, then press Enter.
7b Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
If the device doesn't boot to the new operating system (that is, if the Linux prompt is
displayed), enter lilo.s again and reboot the device a second time.
