RDP Imaging Size problems

Hi,

I am trying to create an image of a Linux server with Oracle installed. The imaging process goes to 60% and hangs all the time. I believe there may be a cap of 2GB as a max size for images, then it creates another one for that server. But in this instance it creates a 3rd and stops there. Is there anyway you can define a max size or the number of images you can create for one server??

Hi PSL Technical

You are right.
The maximum capacity of an image is 2GB.
This can be set up as an option of an image job.

1. Double-click the "Cerate Disk Image" job step.
2. Click "Advanced".

Please attach the following option, when you are using the Deploy command by the "Run script" job step.

-split:2048

Example:(rdeploy command in RunScript)
f:\rdeploy.exe -noprompt -mu -f.\lib\images\****.img -split:2048

Thanks for that.

With that option, will that not just make the Image sizes to 2GB? The server i am trying to image has about a total of 20GB data, and i am trying to image this. But it stops after 60% as it doesnt let me create more images.

With this option you say, can i specify the sizes to be 4GB an image Max size?

Thanks

Hi PSL Technical

I think that it probably becomes about 10GB of image when you get 20GB of server's image.
In that case, five files are created.
Example:
image.img, image.001, image.002, image.003, image004

> With this option you say, can i specify the sizes to be 4GB an image Max size?

The maximum size is 2048. 4096MB cannot be specified.

Hi PSL Technical

I am sorry, I wrote the wrong number.
Mistake 2048
Correct number 2040

I investigated Mr.PSL Technical's problem and acquired the following information.

Probably, you need installation of Altiris DS 6.5sp1.

The following is release notes of DS6.5SP1.
