Re: RDeploy: The disk read operation failed.
HP is not the bible!!!
look here, from HP:
How To Use Data From The Altiris Showdisk Utility Produced From The Read Hardware Configuration Job
Article: 178
Applies to: Release 3.00 or greater
The Read Hardware Configuration job includes output from the Altiris showdisk utility. This output can be used to determine how drives are enumerated under automation which is how rdeploy sees the drives for imaging.
This information is beneficial when deploying an operating system to a SAN-attached environment, a direct-attached storage environment with multiple logical drives, or when USB is used as the boot media method. In these environments, rdeploy may read or write image files to or from the secondary disks. The showdisk information can be used to determine the appropriate -dX parameter to the Create Disk Image or Distribute Disk Image tasks in a scripted or image install job. For scripted installs, a NTFS.IMG or GRUB.IMG image file is landed to start the operating system installation process.
For servers installed with Red Hat Linux and Logical Volume Manager (LVM), showdisk shows the data differently. Showdisk will display a disk for LVM and one or more disks for the logical drives. Using the disk number for the disk with LVM, the image capture will capture the LVM volume which may span more than one logical drive. If deploying this image back to a server with more than one logical drive, the Distribute Disk Image task will need to be modified to use more than one disk parameter, for example, -d1,2 to deploy the LVM image to disk 1 and disk 2. The disks indicated with -d are comma separated.
Important: The -d1,2 syntax for rdeploy is only valid for LVM deployments. This syntax cannot be used for capturing and deploying multiple storage drives for other operating systems or non-LVM setups.
If the disk number for the physical/logical drive is used to capture an image in place of capturing the LVM disk, the image will be read in raw mode. Reading a drive in raw mode, reads the entire drive which could take extra time to read the drive and creates many large image files on the Deployment Server.

Re: RDeploy: The disk read operation failed.
The only thing I see is you said your using RH 4u3 - HP supports RH 4u4. Could you build a server using RH 4u4? Let me know - sorry about the run around. I'm working on the LVM "not supported" message.
