  • 1.  Undoing Images from Site Servers

    Posted Mar 13, 2013 02:36 PM

    Good morning everyone.  I have a question and would like insight on how this works.  I understand when creating an image using DS7.x that by default all images will be replicated to all Site Servers.  Going into Settings->Deployment and Migration-> Disk Images and then clicking on the Package Server tab allows you to control which servers that image will replicate to.

    My question is once the images have already replicate how do you undo this action?  Can you simply pick (or un-pick) the server you want to have the image and will this delete them from the other site servers?  Or do you have to set this and then manually delete the images from the servers that do not need to keep a copy any longer.

     

    Thanks

    yes, just set the package servers you want to host the image and make sure the others are unticked.

    once an update config has been completed on the site server, the packages will disappear from display and then it should be deleted from the site server after 7 days (unused package setting). You can of course delete the package manually from the package delivery directory if you need the space reclaimed immediately

    Since I dont need to reclaim the space right now, I will wait the 7 days and make sure the process works as designed. 

    Thanks for your help :)
