You can create image definitions for new images,
before the image file itself has been created. You need to do this
before you can execute an image create task. You can also create
image definitions for image files that already exist on the
Symantec Ghost Console server. For example, you may have some image
files that were created elsewhere and manually loaded on to the
Symantec Ghost Console server.
To create a new image definition
|
1.
|
|
In the Symantec Ghost Console, in the left
pane, expand the Configuration Resources
folder.
|
|
2.
|
|
Expand the Images folder,
then select the folder in which to store the new image
definition.
|
|
3.
|
|
In the Images pane, do one of the
following:
|
- Right-click, then click New Image.
- On the File menu, click New > Image.
|
4.
|
|
In the Properties For New Image window, in the
Name box, type the name for the new image.
|
The name can be anything you want, up
to a maximum of 50 characters, but it must not be the same as
another image definition in the same folder.
|
5.
|
|
If you want to save the image file on the
client computers, check Image is located on the
Client Machine, then specify the image file location.

the Symantec Ghost Console server, or you are creating a definition

file location.

To set the image file location on a client
computer

In the Properties For New Image window, under
Location, click Edit.
|
|
2.
|
|
In the Path to Image File on Client window,
under Volume Identifier, select one of the following:
|
- Drive letter: Type the drive letter
- Volume label: Type the volume label.
|
3.
|
|
In the Path box, type the path and name of the
image file.
|
You do not need to include the .gho
file extension. It is automatically appended to the file name when
you save the image definition.
|
4.
|
|
Click OK.
|
If you use this image definition in an image
create task, a new image file is created and stored with the
specified name and location on the client computer.
If you use this image definition in a clone task,
the task looks for an image file at the specified location and name
on each client computer. The Symantec Ghost Console does not
validate the path when you create an image definition, so you must
ensure that the image file name and location you type are
correct.
