Error 10010
Computer images contain the entire contents of a computer s hard drive. These
contents include the operating system, applications, and user data. For Windows,
you can create images using either Ghost or RapiDeploy. Both are included in
Deployment Solution. Only RapiDeploy is supported for Linux. Images that are
created using Ghost cannot be deployed using multicasting.
See
"About deploying images to multiple computers"
You can create disk images or backup images.
See
"Deployment image types"
When you run a task to create an image, the following steps occur:
An image file is created
A Notification Server package is created (for disk images only)
See
"About disk image packages"
A resource for the image is added to the CMDB
See
"About image resources"
A new folder and image file is created each time that you run a task to capture an
image. If you run the same task on the same computer three times, you have three
different folders and image files for that computer.
You can do one of the following things to avoid the duplication problem:
Edit the disk creation task to use a unique image name.
Create a new task that you configure to use a different image name.
Images are created on the task server that the source computer is configured to
work with.
Deployment Solution lets you create two types of computer images.
