Comment (Optional)
Enter a comment that identifies the cloning image.
Up to 128 characters other than percent signs ("%"), back slashes ("\"), double quotes ("), and line feed characters can be specified.
3. Click <OK>.
Cloning images are stored in image pools.
When <Cancel> is clicked in the Recent Operations area, the confirmation dialog to quit the process is displayed.
From the command-line, execute rcxadm image create. For details on the rcxadm image create command, refer to "4.1 rcxadm
image" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE".
Cloning images (identifiable by their name attribute) can be managed by image version.
Note
For virtual L-Servers, the results of cloning image collection vary based on the disk configurations as follows.
[VMware]
When the target L-Server includes Raw Device Mapping (RDM) disks, the target disks are treated as virtual disks and the image will be
collected.
[Hyper-V]
- When the target L-Server includes Pass-through disks, the image cannot be collected regardless whether "Collect all disks" is specified
or not.
- When the target L-Server includes difference disks, the image will be collected including the difference disks by specifying "Collect
all disks".
Collecting Cloning Images from Templates of Server Virtualization Software
For details, refer to "14.7.1 Virtual Image Resources".
Note
- When using MAC license authentication for activation of Windows Server 2008 images, Sysprep can be executed a maximum of three
times. Since Sysprep is executed when creating L-Server with images specified or when collecting cloning images, collection of
cloning images and creation of L-Servers with images specified cannot be performed more than three times. Therefore, it is
recommended not to collect cloning images from L-Servers that have had cloning images deployed, but to collect them from a dedicated
master server.
- The network parameter auto-configuration function defined in a cloning image cannot be used for Resource Orchestrator.
When the target server of cloning image collection has a redundant NIC configured, release redundancy and then perform collection.
[VMware] [Hyper-V]
The disk space necessary for the collected cloning images can be confirmed from the following display.
- Resource list for image pools, or cloning image list in the [Resource Details] window
- Resource list for image resources, or version list in the [Resource Details] window
From the command-line, execute rcxadm image list. For details on the rcxadm image list command, refer to "4.1 rcxadm image" in
the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE".
[Xen] [KVM] [Oracle VM]
The disk area necessary for extraction cannot be checked from collected cloning images.
For this reason, include the disk size in the cloning image name or the comment, and check the necessary disk area is available before
extracting images.
