IVS imaging-control Commands

Use the imaging-control commands on the FileWave Imaging Virtual Server (IVS) to manage networking, imaging subnets, virtual-disk expansion, hosted-image lists, and platform imaging. Run them with root authorization on the IVS.

Available imaging-control commands

imaging-control networksetup static

imaging-control networksetup dhcp

imaging-control subnet add

imaging-control subnet remove

imaging-control increase harddrive

imaging-control list macimages

imaging-control list windowsimages

imaging-control disable macimaging

imaging-control disable windowsimaging

imaging-control enable macimaging

imaging-control enable windowsimaging

Configuring the IVS network interface

The IVS network interface uses DHCP by default. The network setup command has two modes:

imaging-control networksetup static

Prompts for the static IP configuration and applies it to the IVS network interface.

imaging-control networksetup dhcp

Returns the IVS network interface to DHCP.

Configuring subnets on the IVS

By default, the IVS listens on the subnet containing its own IP address. Use these commands to add or remove imaging subnets:

imaging-control subnet add

Prompts for an IP address on the subnet and its subnet mask.

imaging-control subnet remove

Lists the subnets currently configured on the IVS and allows one to be removed.

Increasing the IVS hard drive

imaging-control increase harddrive

Expands the IVS filesystem after its virtual disk has been enlarged. The default virtual-disk size is 250 GB. Shut down the IVS, expand the disk in the virtualization platform, start the IVS, and then run the command.

 

 

Viewing list of images on IVS

These commands list the macOS and Windows images currently hosted on the IVS:

imaging-control list macimages

imaging-control list windowsimages

Configuring the IVS for Mac or Windows

The default settings on the IVS allow for Mac and Windows imaging.  These commands will allow you to disable/enable Mac or Windows imaging on the IVS.

imaging-control disable macimaging

This command disables Mac imaging on the IVS.

imaging-control disable windowsimaging

This command disables Windows imaging on the IVS.

imaging-control enable macimaging

This command enables Mac imaging on the IVS. (default setting)

imaging-control enable windowsimaging

This command enables Windows imaging on the IVS. (default setting)
