+== Saving node images with Orbit-PXE ==
+
+When you issue the saveNode command as follows:
+
+{{{
+saveNode 1,2
+}}}
+
+the nodehandler will request the node specified to reboot itself and load orbit-PXE into RAM (see [wiki:Documentation/orbit-pxe/loading Orbit-PXE Loading]).  Once the node checks in with the Orbit-PXE's nodeagent the nodehandler will ask the node's nodeagent to save the current image it has loaded on disk by issuing the following command (TCP port 9006):
+
+{{{
+S 10.18.1.2 SAVEIMAGE frisbee:/export/orbit/image/tmp node-1-2-sb8-timestamp.ndz
+}}}
+
+The nodeagent running on the node will then create /mnt/, mount the remote NFS server image path onto /mnt and issue the following command:
+
+{{{
+imagezip /dev/hda /mnt/node-1-2-timestamp.ndz
+}}}
+
+Once nodeagent is done the node will be halted through:
+
+{{{
+shutdown -h now
+}}}
