30.1.3 Setting Up Disconnected Imaging Operations

Disconnected imaging operations are inherently manual. To perform a disconnected imaging
operation on a device, you must have a storage device to hold the image to be created or put down,
and that storage device must be locally accessible to the ZENworks Imaging Engine (in Linux)
when you boot the device from the imaging boot media.
The following sections explain how to set up and perform disconnected operations:
"Using a CD or DVD for Disconnected Imaging Operations" on page 424
"Using a Hard Disk for Disconnected Imaging Operations" on page 426
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.
