Deployment Solution

I'm trying to use a new linux boot agent CD to image a Dell optiplex 740.  we were having issues using the Dos boot disk with and storing the images on our san (the drive was too large and dos couldn't recognize it. I am able to pull and image to that drive from the linux disk however I can't push that image from the san to the dell.

the command line that is running:

/mnt/ds/RDeploy/Linux/rdeployt -noprompt -md -f/mnt/dir/740/740-St.img -dsstatus:10.60.15.103:402 -mcint:10.60.39.138 -dsconfig:./Temp/c5001344.cfg

in the log file I get the following:
status = 6 (0x6)
aSource File = imglib/common/acrash.cpp
line number 311 (0x137)
if you need the stack trace I can copy and paste it.
note = signum i 1
imaging library revision = 9024 (linux-x86-release build,...)

Try running the command manually and see if it will give you a more descriptive error.  I'd also suggest trying to browse the SAN drive (ls command) to see if you can actually see the image file.

Manually running the command just hangs.  I can browse to the share and see the image files.  I was also able to pull an image of another computer to the san.

Running the Job from the Server looks like it's working for about 3-4 minutes then the system just freezes without outputting an error.

Job 1 error:

Error description: The image is invalid.
(Note: Current volume is NTFS from source slot 1.)

Possible causes:
Data has been corrupted (e.g. in an image or on the network).
A gigabit ethernet card is being used.
Possible resolutions:
Repeat the operation to see if the problem occurs in the same manner again. Simplify the network by removing routers, etc. that might corrupt data.
If a file is being read, recreate the file.
Disable 'TCP Checksum Offloading' on the servers with the gigabit NICs wher
e the image is stored.

These errors seem related to the server rather than the client(s) being used.  A DOS  client can handle images and drives larger than what it can address (2Gb) by breaking it up into 2 GB sections.  We have been using it for years.  An image may have 10 or more 2 Gb sections.  We currently use all three (DOS, PE2.1, and Linux) depending on the task and the speed of the respective client.  I have never seen errors like these.  I think I would reinstall the DS (whatever version you are using) and see if anything changes.  I would also look at the PXE install and would probably reinstall that to make sure all drivers install cleanly.  Good luck.
