What are the new Ghost switches available with DS 7.1 SP1? 

Jan 11, 2012 06:34 AM

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).

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.
