Ghost Solution Suite

All,

Our Ghost 3.2 RU2 server is on a 10 GB link, the clients seem only can utilize about 3.5% -5% of the total network bandwidth when downloading an image. Is it possible to configure Ghost64.exe to utilize more bandwidth?

I did some testing and proved that the server can push more data, the client can pull more data through the network while it is imaging, but for some reason Ghost will not use all available bandwidth.

Any ideas? Thanks much!

How are you using GSS?

PXE? Ghostcast? Automation Folders?

One client boot using PXE (Win10 PE) Ghost64 unicast using about 4-5% on the 10 GB link on server. If start another download, the network utilization on the server goes up to 8-10%. Therefore, the server is capable pushing more.

While only one client is imaging, I tested copying a large file from Ghost server down to the PE environment, I can clearly see that the network utilization from the server increases from 4-5% to 8-9% in the duration of the copying. That proves that the client computer can pull more through the NIC.

I am trying to find out what is limiting factor.

Thanks in advance! 

Hello, some time we got the same problem and could fix it by replacing the networkdriver in winpe with a newer version.
