Creating an image file of a complete disk from a client computer and saving to image file c:\test123.gho using the session name labmodel
|
ghostsrv c:\test123.gho labmodel -d
|
Starts a GhostCast session called labmodel and creates or overwrites the image file c:\test123.gho. The first connecting client's IP address appears on-screen, and the session starts automatically. The client computer indicates the source drive to use for the image file creation.
|
Creating an image file of a partition from a client computer to an image file
|
ghostsrv c:\test123.gho TestSession -d -p
|
Starts a GhostCast session called TestSession and creates or overwrites the image file c:\test123.gho. The first connecting client's IP address appears on-screen, and the session starts automatically. The client computer indicates the source drive and partitions to include in the image created.
|
Restoring a disk image file onto client computers
|
ghostsrv.exe c:\test123.gho TestSession
|
Starts a GhostCast session called TestSession and uses the image file c:\test123.gho. The connecting clients' IP addresses appear on-screen. Start the session transmission.
|
Restoring a specific partition from an image file onto client computers
|
ghostsrv c:\test123.gho TestSession -p2
|
Starts a GhostCast session called TestSession and uses the second partition in the image file c:\test123.gho. The connecting clients' IP addresses appear on-screen.
|
GhostCasting a specific partition from an image file to a specific partition on a destination drive
|
ghostsrv c:\test123.gho TestSession -p1 -DISK1-PART2
|
Starts a GhostCast session called TestSession, uses the first partition in the image file c:\test123.gho, and places it in the second partition of the clients' first disk. The connecting clients' IP addresses appear on-screen. Start the GhostCast transmission.
|
Specifying the number of clients to Auto Start
|
ghostsrv c:\test123.gho TestSession -n10
|
Starts a GhostCast session called TestSession and uses the image file c:\test123.gho. The connecting clients' IP addresses appear on-screen. Once 10 clients have connected, the session transmission starts automatically.
|
Specifying a time for Auto Start
|
ghostsrv c:\test123.gho TestSession -t13:30
|
Starts a GhostCast session called TestSession and uses the image file c:\test123.gho. The connecting clients' IP addresses appear on-screen. At half past one in the afternoon (1:30 PM), the session transmission starts automatically.
|
Specifying time-based and client-count Auto Start and automatic closing
|
ghostsrv c:\test123.gho TestSession -t13:30 -n10 -c
|
Starts a GhostCast session called TestSession and uses the image file c:\test123.gho. The connecting clients' IP addresses appear on-screen. At either half past one in the afternoon (1:30 PM) or after 10 clients join the session, transmission starts automatically. Ghostsrv does not wait for both conditions to be met. When the GhostCast session is completed, ghostsrv closes down as requested.
|
Isolating problems
|
ghostsrv c:\test123.gho TestSession -la -ferrlog.txt-n10
|
Starts a GhostCast session called TestSession and uses the image file c:\test123.gho. The connecting clients' IP addresses appear on-screen. Once 10 clients connect, the session transmission starts automatically and a log file, Errlog.txt, is created for debugging. Creating a log file reduces the performance of the GhostCast transmission.
