Multiple Images for 1 host
-
First, thanks for all the help the community has already offered. It truely has been amazing to me how helpful everyone has been. I’ve run into numerous problems(due to my own fumble fingerness mostly) and have been able to solve most with searchs, and others have been answered within 30 minutes of posting the question.
So I have a somewhat unusual imaging problem(I think, maybe not). Basically the laptops that I’m working with have two drives. A 500 GB SSD for the OS and program files, and a 1TB platter for ISO’s, VM’s that kind of thing(We’re an IT schoolhouse).
I don’t always want to image the OS, sometimes I just want to redo the 1TB drive(and if I could capture/push seperately it would allow me to use the resizing option in FOG which is amazing). Is there a way to capture the two drives seperately, and subsequently push them seperately to the same clients?
Thanks again,
Philip

@flipwalker I think this can be done, read through these:

I found these by searching for
image only one disk -
@wayne-workman So If I’m reading correctly essentially I would capture once using sda as the host primary, then change the host image association to a new image, change to primary sdb, capture again. Then essentially the same thing in reverse to push the images back to a new client?

@flipwalker I think that summarizes it. Can you put together a short tutorial and post it here (In the tutorials area)? The information is sort of spread out everywhere and it’d be nice if you can put it all together.

@flipwalker More or less, yes. Of course this must mean the /dev/sda is ALWAYS the 500gb SSD, and /dev/sdb is ALWAYS the 1TB disk.
