Pulling a PXE Image From a Client

Advanced Tasks

You can pull (copy) a PXE image from any client managed by HP Device Manager and store it as a .img file in the Repository so that it can be pushed (written) to other clients. This is achieved using the _PXE Imaging template.

To pull a PXE image from a device:

1Make sure the BIOS settings of the client device from which you want to pull an image are as described in the section “Client BIOS Settings for PXE” on page 146.

2In the Management Console, display the OS tab containing the name of the client in its Device Tree.

3Select the Imaging tab in the Task Templates pane then double- click on the _PXE Imaging template.

4In the Template Editor - Imaging dialog, select the FTP Reposi- tory where the image will be stored.

5Set the Action to Pull PXE image from device.
