Preparing Images 213

Novell Confidential Manual (99a) 11 September 2003

Specifying to Use a Variant of an Image

As explained in “Customizing an Image” on page 210, you can exclude individual files and folders

from any of 10 possible filesets (variants) of an image. The variants exist merely as internal

attributes of the same image archive.

Because creating an image of a workstation can take a fair amount of time, it is more efficient in

some cases to just create an image of a few workstations and customize those images to get all the

variants you need. Even though the variants do not all exist as separate, physical image files, you

can access them as though they were. How you do this depends on whether you are performing a

manual or automated imaging operation, as explained below.

Type of imaging operation How to specify the variant to use

Automatic (NDS-based) In the Workstation Image object, specify the number of the variant

in the Use File Set field. All NDS policies and settings that specify

that Workstation Image object will use the specified variant.

You can create multiple Workstation Image objects that point to the

same base image but to different variants.

Manual (command-line or menu) Use the

s parameter on the img restore command. For

example, to specify variant number 3:

img restorel dellnt4.zmg s3

You can type img at the bash prompt to display a menu > select

Restore an Image > Local Image. Specify sfileset (for example, s3)

in the Advanced Parameters field.

For details, see “Imaging Engine (img: Command Line and Menu)”

on page 224.
