To restore an image from the Imaging Server and place it on a device, enter:
img -restorep added_path/newimg.zmg
The command stands for "restore from proxy." It retrieves an image from the
-restorep
imaging (proxy) server and restores it on the device. The IP address or DNS name should
be that of your Imaging Server, and the UNC path specifies the location and filename
where the image is to be retrieved from.
For example:
img -restorep subdir1/cpqnt.zmg
To retrieve an image from a local device and place it on a device:
img -restorel filepath
The command stands for "restore from local." It retrieves an image from a
-restorep
local device and restores it on the device. Filepath represents the filename of the image to
retrieve, including the
of the partition.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to use forward slashes in the UNC path as shown above.
Backslashes aren't recognized by Linux. However, you can use backslashes and enclose an
entire UNC path in quotes. The path you specify must exist.

characters in its name, you should perform an automatic image restoration. For more
information, see Section 1.5.2, "Creating, Installing, and Restoring Standard Images," on
page 35 or Section 1.5.4, "Restoring Lab Devices to a Clean State," on page
For more information on the mode commands and parameters you can use and usage examples,
