6 Imaging operations
HPDM can be used to capture an image from a device and deploy it to any number of similar devices.
An image is a binary file containing all the data from a device’s flash storage.
IMPORTANT: HPDM will not deploy images to devices that are not licensed for the operating
system contained in the image.
TIP: There is no license check for HP ThinPro or HP Smart Zero Core, so those operating systems
can be interchanged as long as there is enough disk space.
For information about imaging support on different operating systems, see Imaging support matrix
on page 49.
To learn more about the different imaging methods available with HPDM, see the following sections:
