Manage Images for Physical Computers

To manage images for physical computers, right-click, select Provisioning, then Re-Image.

The Re-Image page lets you:

• Deploy a CA Imaging OS image and other software packages to a physical computer.
• Capture, deploy, and delete a Rapid Server Imaging (RSI) OS image to a physical computer.
• View image deployment status.
• Reboot and delete Amazon Machine Instances (AMI).

Capturing an image is the process of copying an OS (Windows, Linux, or UNIX) image from an image repository to a managed resource. Deploying an image is the process of laying down all the bits of an image to a managed resource.

The Explore pane is where you select the physical computer for image actions. You can also use the left navigation pane to select a physical computer. The Re-Image dialog and Action menu are used to apply actions to the selected computer from the Explore pane. The Imaging Status pane lets you view image deployment status, and reboot and delete Amazon Machine Instances.
