Create System Image (VI)

Encryption Passphrase specifies the passphrase used to encrypt a portion of the image that contains sensitive information.

Restart Automatically restarts the system into install mode by default before the operation is performed, and restarts back to a running state after the operation is complete. If you choose not to restart automatically, and the system is not in install mode, the resulting image may not be valid.

Session in specifies the system from which the image is being created.

Destination File specifies the destination where the data is copied.

Image Metadata in specifies the metadata to add to the system image. Title is required if you specify the value of any additional cluster elements. If you specify the ID , it must be in the GUID format "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}" where each '0' represents a hexadecimal digit.

	title specifies the title of the system image.
	description specifies the short description of the system image.
	ID specifies the unique identifier for the system image.
	version specifies the version of the system image.
	component type specifies the component type for the system image. NI recommends leaving the default value, image , if you are creating a new system image.

error in (no error) describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.

Overwrite saves the new output file over an older file of the same name if TRUE. By default, this VI will not overwrite the file.

File and Directory Blacklist specifies the list of files and folders to exclude when creating a system image. Files on the blacklist will not be copied from the target to the image.

Session out returns the refnum for the system being imaged.

Image Metadata out returns the metadata added to the system image.

	title is the title of the system image.
	description is the short description of the system image.
	ID is the unique identifier for the system image.
	version is the version of the system image.
	component type is the component type for the system image.

error out returns error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
