in addition: Ghost 9.0 supports only raid 0 (stripe) and raid 5  (stripe sets with parity) Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Quatro Info Verzonden: woensdag 20 juli 2005 2:38 Aan: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Onderwerp: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Ghost Imaging HP Proliant Servers.. Ami i missing something here?      Ghost and RAID Ghost is not compatible with computers that use RAID. That is, Symantec Ghost 8.x and earlier, and Norton Ghost 2003 and earlier, do not support RAID controllers on computers that are being imaged.

You have multiple problems here:   The SmartArray card has no RAID config. The default varies though my experience is it RAID5s the first four drives and shuts down the remaining two in a DL380G4.   Ghost likely does not have a driver enabling it to see the scsi disk. You will need to modify the config.sys and add CPQs dos driver     If you search the Compaq support & drivers section, you want he smartstart scripting toolkit. It will show you how to script the hardware setup before you load your image. I would recommend you instead of Ghost here use PXE boot and Microsoft ADS. There’s even a long post at the top of my blog – briandesmond.com detailing all the steps to get it working with Proliant hardware – my test environment was DL380G4s. For server imaging, ADS is FAR more powerful than Ghost.   --Brian   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Frank Abagnale Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2005 5:13 AM To: Active Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: Ghost Imaging HP Proliant Servers..   Hi all,   Having read a few recent mails regarding server imaging, it's interesting to hear how 'easy' it has been for those who have responded. I have been having difficulties trying to create an image, I will explain further...   I have 10xHP Proliant 380's G4, to save time I thought I would configure one of the Proliant Servers (RAID 1 for OS), install a basic installation of Windows 2003 Standard, sysprep it then create a ghost image of this file so I could install the image on the remaining 9 Proliant Servers.   So I created a standard image, sysprep'd it then rebooted, I ran ghost and this is where the issue began, it did not recognise the disks (in RAID 1) for me to be able to ghost the drive, is there any docs or drivers or steps I have missed or need to look at?   I know my information is vague, but I tried this over a month ago so my memory is pretty poor.   Anyone with some advice where I should be looking? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
