What are the new Ghost switches available with DS 7.1 SP1?
Ghost32.exe and Ghost64.exe build 12.0.0.4112 and onwards, have new Switches to enable Multicast Peer Restore.
Here is the full list:
|
-MP |
Enable Multicast Peer Restore. Use this when cloning from a network location to cause ghost to multicast to peer ghosts started with the same switches. e.g. ghost32 -clone,mode=restore,src=z:\image.gho,dst=1 -mp |
|
-IP={N.N.N.N:P} |
Set the multicast ip address and port (default: 224.2.0.3:402). |
|
-SESSION={ID.EN_US} |
Set the multicast session ID to N (default: ghost). |
|
-BOUNDIP={N.N.N.N} |
Specify the interface for multicasting (default: 0.0.0.0). |
|
-CLIENTS=N |
Multicast to N clients (default: unlimited). |
|
-THRESHOLD=N |
Set the minimum number of clients needed to multicast (default: 1). |
|
-CONNECTIONTIMEOUT=N |
Set the timeout in minutes for client connection (default : 1). |
|
-SPEED=N |
Limit the multicast speed by setting the speed to N MBits/second (default: available bandwidth). |
|
-MASTER |
Force this ghost instance to be the master in a multicast peer session. |
|
-DISCONNECTTIMEOUT=N |
Set the timeout in minutes for packet resend on client disconnect (default: 1). |

Thank you Marcello for that summary, very appreciated.
Marcello,
When I try to deploy an image (Win7 for example) onto an SSD, Ghost64 v12.0.0.4112 detects that the target is an SSD and tries to TRIM it, but a few seconds later crashes. I have to kill it from Task Manager.
Is there a switch to tell Ghost not to TRIM the SSD?
NOTE: I had to use Ghost64 v11.5.1.2269 which doesn't have a TRIM capablity and it imaged the SSD succesfully. But I still want to use the 12.0.0.4112 version.
Thanks.
UPDATE: I found the -NOTRIM switch.
