Simultaneous Hard Drive Imaging?
-
Do you know if it is possible for fog to image multiple hard drives at the same time?
-
I should probably elaborate. Multiple hard drives at the same time on the same computer.
-
I think it would be more of a case of why would you I think network is the real bottleneck here, you wouldn’t achieve any time saving vs doing them sequentially.
-
@Joseph-Hales the way I have set up fog is that, I have a few dedicated fog stations (clients) that I send jobs to. Right now I only do a few at a time. But I would like to know if I can have one machine do many hard drives at the same time, and increase the number of hard drives that are being imaged in one session.
-
multicast should handle it
-
@Joseph-Hales If I am not mistaken multicast will image the first hard drive found in the computer and then wait for more computers to join the session? It wont image all the hard drives in one computer?
-
@jbonilla Depends on the image type. There is “multiple partition image - all disks” in FOG Trunk.
-
@Wayne-Workman I see. I will try this approach. So will I need to define this setting prior to uploading the image to fog?
-
An image defined as “All disks” will upload from all disks and deploy to all disks… So, yes. You need to (re-)upload.
