E.2 Automatic Mode (img auto)
Use automatic mode to image the device automatically, based on any applicable Preboot Services
default settings. The ZENworks Imaging Engine runs in this mode if you let the imaging boot
process proceed without interruption, or if you type the command below at the Linux prompt.
To use the automatic mode, do any of the following at the bash prompt:
Enter:
img auto
To display the ZENworks Imaging Engine menu, enter:
img
and on the menu bar, click Imaging, then click Query for work.
To display the ZENworks Imaging Engine menu, enter:
img
then click F9 Query for work on the task bar.
To display the ZENworks Imaging Engine menu, enter:
img
then press F9.
In this mode, the ZENworks Imaging Engine queries the imaging server specified in the
PROXYADDR environment variable for any work to do. The imaging server checks the relevant
Preboot Services default settings to determine what imaging tasks should be performed (if any),
such as taking or putting down an image. It then instructs the ZENworks Imaging Engine to perform
those tasks. If any tasks involve storing or retrieving images on other imaging servers, the imaging
server refers the ZENworks Imaging Engine to those servers to complete those tasks. After the
ZENworks Imaging Engine has completed its work, it communicates the results to the original
imaging server, and the results are logged on that server.
