Capturing the Matrox Iris GTR operating
system partition for deployment
You can capture an image of your Matrox Iris GTR’s operating system partition
(the operating system, application, and some settings) and then restore it on
multiple Matrox Iris GTR smart cameras. The capture process will save the image
to a captured backup .wim file, while also creating a rescue USB key so that you
can deploy the capture to other Matrox Iris GTR smart cameras. The captured
backup .wim file does not contain the user settings and unique ID of the original
camera. When you deploy the capture to the target cameras and reboot them,
Microsoft Windows OOBE will assign them their own unique ID and allow you
to configure their user settings.
Note The capture process should be done once your Matrox Iris GTR is configured to
your specifications and you do not need to make any more changes.
To perform a capture, you must access your Matrox Iris GTR directly; you cannot
perform this task remotely. To access the camera directly, connect a display devices,
keyboard, and mouse to your Matrox Iris GTR. For information, refer to Powering
and connecting to your Matrox Iris GTR section, in Chapter 2: Powering and
connecting to your Matrox Iris GTR for more information.
To make a captured backup of your Matrox Iris GTR, perform the following steps
directly on your Matrox Iris GTR:
1. Launch the OSConfig utility from the Windows Start menu.
2. When the OSConfig dialog opens, select the Capture OS tab, and click on the
Reboot to Audit Mode button. Your Matrox Iris GTR will reboot in audit mode
(administrative mode).
3. When the reboot process completes, the System preparation tool dialog opens.
Click on the Cancel button to close this dialog.
❖
Note that, when you boot in audit mode, the System preparation tool dialog
opens every time. You can close or ignore this dialog.
4. From the Windows Start menu, launch the OSConfig utility. Disable the Unified
Write Filter (UWF) (if it is on), so that you can write to the drive. This option is
found on the Write Filter tab of the OSConfig dialog.
