Configuring the USB drive for local image push operation

1. Start USB Imaging Tool.
   The tool displays the Image Pull screen by default.
2. Click Image Push to display the Image Push screen.

   

3. Plug in the USB drive to the system running USB Imaging Tool.
4. Select the USB drive from the Available drives drop-down list.
   If your USB drive already contains images, the images are displayed on the screen.
5. Select the OS architecture that you want to push to the target device. Select one of the following:
   • 32 bit—Select this option to push the 32-bit architecture based OS to the target device.
   • 64 bit—Select this option to push the 64-bit architecture based OS to the target device.
6. To add a new local image on the USB drive, do the following:

   Option	Description
   Add a new Image on the USB drive	Perform the following steps: Click the Local tab. To add an image from a different location, click the + icon. Navigate to the location where you have saved the image files. Select the .rsp file from the image folder. You can also select the Command XML file. For this, select the Command XML option from the drop-down against File Name, and navigate to the commands XML file location. This file is located under a sub-folder that has the same name as the OS image folder. Click OK to add the image to the table. The image is displayed in the table.
   Delete existing Images on the USB drive	To delete the existing images, click the Delete icon on the images displayed in the table. The images are deleted from the table but are only marked for deletion in the USB drive.

   You can view the OS and BIOS check boxes selected or cleared as per the contents of the image files you have chosen. For example, if the image file contains only the BIOS configuration, only the BIOS check box is selected for that image.

   If both the OS and BIOS check boxes are selected and you clear one of the check boxes, then that image component is not added on the USB drive.

   NOTE

   • In a single session, you cannot configure the local image and network image path simultaneously.
   • You cannot add the same network image path with different file transfer protocols, such as FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, or CIFS.
   • You cannot add the same operating system image—either local or network—with both .rsp and .xml files.
   • On the Image Push screen, the information entered in the local image fields are retained when you switch to the Network tab.
   • On the Image Push screen, the information entered in the network image fields are retained when you switch to the Local tab.
   • On the Image Push screen, the information entered in the local and network image fields are not retained when you switch to Image Pull, Image Push, Clone, or Settings tabs.
7. Click Configure USB Drive.
8. Select one of the following options:
   • Update (Recommended)—Select this option to add or delete images from an existing configured USB drive.
   • Format and Update—Select this option if your USB drive is corrupted or not configured. This option enables you to back up contents, initialize the drive, and add or delete the selected image.

   The status is displayed in the progress bar.
