(Optional) Restore the OS Image on the Model Computer (Step 5)

To restore the OS image on the model computer

  1. Set the value of following OS installation job parameters:

Parameter

Description

OSImage

Specify "getimage" or "getwepos" depending on the support OS type.

BootSpecial

Specify "WinPE2.2" or "WinPE3.2"

ImagexImage

Specify the name of the backup image file to restore

CreateImage

Specify "restoreImageX" or "restoreGhost"

RestorePolicy

Specify the restore policy for the job.

  1. Activate the job (use Wake-On-LAN for automatic boot).

    The job restores the OS image on the active partition of the model computer. After the image is restored, the model computer reboots and the status of the job is set to Stop in DSM Explorer. You can view the log file at <OSIM-imagestore>\images\<imagename>\<imagename>\images\<computername>\<$ImageXImage$n>\osim- restore.log

    Note: If there is no active partition on the model computer, the job creates an active partition using the <OSIM-image store>\images\<imagename>\<imagename>\images\<name_of_model_PC>\ $ImageXImage>\$ImageXImage$.wp1 diskpart file, and installs the image in this new partition.

Restore Policy

Restore Policy

Restore policy defines the restore strategy for the RestoreImageX and RestoreGhost jobs for one target computer. You can configure the restore policy to specify the backup image that you want to restore on the target computer.

Following are the valid values for the $restorepolicy$ parameter:

Take the backupimage as named in $ImageXImage$" [0]

Specifies that the backup image with the name equivalent to the value of $ImageXImage$ parameter be restored on the target computer.

Take the newest backupimage with the base name $ImageXImage$" [1]

Specifies that the latest backup image with the base name equivalent to the value of $ImageXImage$ parameter be restored on the target computer. The backup image can have a trailing number if you have more than one backup image.

Take the second newest backupimage with the base name $ImageXImage$" [2]

Specifies that the next-to-last backup image with the base name equivalent to the value of $ImageXImage$ parameter be restored on the target computer. The backup image can have a trailing number if you have more than one backup image.
