OSIM Images Using ImageX and Ghost32 › Steps to Create an ImageX OSIM OS Image Manually Using a WinPE Boot CD › Create and Register the Captured Image as OSIM OS Image

Create and Register the Captured Image as OSIM OS Image

To build an ImageX or ghost32-based OSIM OS image, proceed as follows:

1. On the IPS launch the command prompt using the Start button and enter the following command:

   Example for Win XP SP2 named winxpsp2:

   createOSImage -i winxpsp2 -o IMAGEX-XP (or GHOST-XP) -s C:\imgshare\mytarget 
   [-k productkey]
   

   When the command completes successfully, the image is stored in the MANAGEDPC\IMAGES-directory, relative to the installation directory of CA\DSM.

   The files

   • winxpsp2.wp1
   • winxpsp2.inf
   • winxpsp2.cmd

   (see “alternative partition definition file”) are stored at MANAGEDPC\CAMENU.

2. The OS image Prepare System provides a default installation of ImageX-based Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 2008, Windows 7, Windows 2008r2, Windows 8, Windows 2012 and Ghost32 –based Windows XP, Windows 2003 according to the prototype installation, and includes a default set of parameters which can be modified at the OSIM manager.
3. The OS image provided will work with the default Windows PE 20 boot image of this new DSM version.
4. Then register the Image to the domain manager

   registerOSImage -i winxpsp2 -s <name of the manager> [-b]
   

   Now the new OS- Image can be used for target installation with OSIM
