/filename:<file name>
Displays the image content.
When listing image content, volume numbers may not coincide with those
in the list of disks and volumes if the image does not contain all the
volumes.
For example, if the image contains only volumes 2-3 and 2-5, they will be
listed as 2-1 and 2-2.
If the deploy /partition command cannot find a volume in the image
by its physical number, use the list command to obtain the volume
number in the image. Then, use the /partition:<number in the
image> /target_partition:<physical number of the target
volume> parameters.
In the example above, to deploy the volume 2-5 to its original place, use:
/partition:2-2 /target_partition:2-5
email_n
/email_from:<sender
address>
Specifies the e-mail address of the sender. For example:
/email_from:user@example.com
/email_to:<recipient
address>
Specifies the e-mail address of the recipient. For example:
/email_to:admin@example.com
/email_subject:<message
subject>
Specifies the custom text in the subject line of the e-mail message. For
example:
/email_subject:"Deployment notification"
In addition to the custom text, the subject line will include the MAC
address and the IP address of the machine being deployed.
/email_smtp:<SMTP server
address>
Specifies the name or IP address of the outgoing (SMTP) server. For
example:
/email_smtp:smtp.example.com
/email_port:<SMTP server
port>
Specifies the port of the SMTP server. For example:
/email_port:465
Without this parameter, port 25 is used.
/email_user:<SMTP server
user name>
Specifies the user name to log on to the SMTP server. For example:
/email_user:user
/email_password:<SMTP
server user password>
Specifies the password to log on to the SMTP server. For example:
/email_password:MyPassWd
/email_encryption:<no|ssl|
tls>
Specifies the type of encryption that is used by the SMTP server. For
example:
/email_encryption:tls
Without this parameter, no encryption is used.
email_n_test
Use this command instead of the email_n command, with the same set of parameters, to test the
configuration of e-mail notifications.
