Specifies
The IP address or DNS name of the imaging server to retrieve the image from.
The filename of the image to retrieve, including the .zmg extension (case-
sensitive) and the complete path in UNC style.
IMPORTANT: Because Linux doesn't recognize backslashes, you must use
forward slashes in the UNC path or enclose the entire path in quotes.
The number of the image file set to put down. Valid values are 1 through 10. For
information on creating file sets of an image, see
Installing, and Restoring Standard Images," on page
If you omit this parameter, file set 1 is used.
A mapping between a partition in the image archive (apartition) and a target
physical partition on the local machine (ppartition). Use this parameter to
selectively restore a specific part of the image to a specific local partition.
IMPORTANT: If you use this parameter, none of the existing local partitions are
removed, and only the target local partition is updated. The update process does
not remove any existing files or overwrite any existing files of the same names if
they are newer. If you want to remove all existing files from the target partition
before updating it, first use the
partition.
For apartition, use the partition number displayed for the source partition in the
Image Explorer (imgexp.exe)
displayed by img dump for the target partition. The target partition must be a
partition of a supported file system. You can repeat this parameter as needed to
request multiple selective restorations in a single operation. In doing so, you can
apply multiple parts of the image to a single local partition, but you can't apply the
same part of an image to multiple local partitions in a single operation.
