This displays a list of the partition slots on the device. For your reference, note the number and
type of partitions and which one is active.
4 Enter a command at the bash prompt using one of the following formats:
To create an image and store it on the imaging server, enter:
img makep serverIPaddr_or_DNSname //uncpath/newimg.zmg [comp=comp
level]
The makep parameter stands for "make on proxy," which creates an image and stores it on
the imaging (proxy) server.
The IP address or DNS name should be that of your imaging server.
The UNC path specifies the location and filename where the new image is to be stored.
The
The directories in the path must exist. You can use the following characters in the path and
filename:
comp level is the amount of compression used when creating the image. Specify any
number from 0-9. 0 means no compression. 1 is the same as Optimize for speed and is
used by default if you do not specify this parameter. 6 is the same as Balanced. 9 is the
same as Optimize for space. (Optimize for speed takes the least amount of time but creates
the largest image file. Optimize for space creates the smallest image file but might take a
significant amount of time. Balanced is a compromise between compression time and
image file size.)
For example:
img makep 137.65.95.127 //xyz_srv/sys/imgs/cpqnt.zmg comp=6
To create an image and store it locally, enter:
img makel filepath [comp=comp level]
The makel parameter stands for "make locally," which creates an image and stores it on a
local hard disk.
NOTE: Unless you mount a drive before using

filepath is the image filename, including the
complete path from the root of the partition.
