What this script does:
a) Mounts the network folder containing the set of images (one image corresponds to one target
machine)
b) Retrieves the MAC address of the target machine
c) Generates a .tib file name (if MAC address is 01-02-03-04-05-06 then the .tib file name must be
01-02-03-04-05-06.tib)
d) Searches the network folder for an image with such name
e) Deploys the image if found
f) Restarts or shuts down the target machine
Environment variables:

IMG_PATH: the path to a network folder on the deployment server.

TMP_DRV_LETTER: the mounted drive on target side.
14.2.2 Creating images assigned to target machines
Scenario
The administrator needs to create an image of each machine to be able to later roll back the system
to the imaged state by deploying the image to the same machine.
Solution
The administrator creates a script that:

Creates an image of each machine.

Names each image according to the machine’s MAC address.
The images can be deployed to the corresponding target machines (p. 143).
