Altiris taking images of ALL partitions, anyway to change this?
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 3 comments
I am trying to take images of our servers at work. Currently our File servers and Exchange servers have JBOD's attached that are configured as RAID 5 and show up as E drives on both systems. When I do an altiris quick disk image of these servers, they backup all the drives, including the JBOD's... We have another backup solution in place for the data on the JBOD's and mainly want to use Altiris for OS restoration... is there anyway to tell altiris to stop backing up the JBODs?
Thanks!

Change the RDeploy command
Change the RDeploy command line to include the following.
rdeploy -md -f[filename] -kp2
Where -kp is the switch and 2 is what partition number you DON'T want overwritten. This works for download only, so when creating an image file it will always create the image with all partitions.
I am unaware of an option on how to do this in DS console.

Upload mode switches
Hello all,
Take a look at the product documentation, all switches are fully explained.
In upload mode, you can specify what partitions to include in the image by adding -pn where n is the partition number (-p1, -p2...).
Good luck
