Hi,

I really need some help. I had setup the MTD Bundle server and it successfully reported back to console.

When I move on to the capture image had occur some issue.

I am suspecting the Lite Touch installation run half way and do not continue. I had enable the log during do the image capture and I found some failure inside the log when reported to the share MTD Bundle creator server. But I had no idea what it mean.

From the setupact.log I found a couple of failure like below:

2013-10-29 17:19:44, Info [0x060258] IBS GenerateName: Failed to read the Key UserData\FullName\Value from Blackboard defaulting to WIN

And from BDD.log I found this:

<![LOG[FAILURE ( 7002 ): Computer is a member of a domain, should be in a workgroup when sysprepping.]LOG]!><time=“16:38:44.000+000” date=“05-27-2014” component=“LTISysprep” context="" type=“3” thread="" file=“LTISysprep”>

It is any facing the issue like me before? I am newbie for OSD and I had alot question I had follow the few user guide as well for this OSD. Hope someone will guide me or point my error or wrong step of configuration. Really appreciate if can get help. I am trying to call Tivoli support but unfortunately cant get they for whole day.

Thanks

Hi,

you should capture a machine not member of a domain.

May you please

1- remove the machine you are capturing from the domain

2- ensure it is in a workgroup

3- start again the capture

You should then see the capture fixlet completed, litetouch running on your target machine, reboot in WinPE, the capture and the WIM created on the provided network share

Thanks

Francesco

Hi Francesco,

Thanks for your reply.

So mean I just need a machines in workgroup will overcome the issue?I am trying to capture a image from a VM as guide by user guide.

And this cause my VM corrupted. Without any log and WMI.

It is normal? Can kindly advice me? It is recommended to use VM as capture image?

Thanks

Yes,

I found that doc page
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v26r1/topic/com.ibm.tem.doc_9.1/Lifecycle_Man/OSD_Users_Guide/c_capture_images.html
saying

During the capture phase, the machine you are capturing must be a member of a workgroup and cannot be in a domain, because the Sysprep tool runs only on machines in a workgroup

Yes, sysprep (needed for the capture) may let your machine not usable, so a VM with snapshot is suggested.

Thanks,

Francesco

Hi Dear Francesco,

I will ask end user to prepare a new machine without joining domain.

If capture that how about the SSID for the machine?

It will have any issue for the apply the same image machine?

Thanks

Ok, before the capture, take a snaphost of the source machine. If something goes wrong, you will revert the snapshost and retry quickly the capture.

During the capture, Microsoft requires Sysprep tool to be started on the donor: it will prepare the source image to be ready for deployments on other targets. (licensing, identity,…)

When you start the Capture from IEM console, we automatically start Sysprep tool than we trigger the capture of the image.

Hi Dear Francesco,

Another quick question. Since I am unable to capture the image for domain member.

If I am performing migrate from Windows XP to Windows 7.

Without the same domain group (previously WIndows XP is domain member) it is will having any impact?

And also the way I perform it is correct for the migration?

Please advice.

And thanks and appreciate your prompt for previous.

Thanks

Hi,

when you “deploy to computer” (button from Image Library dashboard), the wizard will let you define if staying in a workgroup or joining a domain during the OS deployment.

So, independently of your source captured image, joining a domain is a parameter you can choose when triggering the Re-Image on your target (from Image Library -> Deploy to computer)

You may find useful this cookbook here

Hi Francesco,

I follow the the cookbook and now I am hang at the Bare metal manager Server part.

I am unable to download the installer from IBM site.

And I am not sure what the actual Bare metal Manager server functioning in this case?

I am feeling confuse as I need to build up so many server for the OS deployment. Sorry for the question that I am very fresh for this.

and also what is the different between this Image migration and image cloning?

Why we request to upload the driver since there are possibility that the machines will migrate do not same brand or model?

Can please kindly advice me?

Very thanks for your help.

What is the error when downloading the installer ?

Bare Metal server is used to perform the deployment on BareMetal targets through PXEboot.

The other flow is the Reimaging started on machine with an IEM client running (e.g. WinXP to Win7 migration)

I think there are 2 dedicated chapters in the User guide explaining the main diffferences between Reimaging and BareMetal

Thanks

Hi Francesco,

Here is the error that occur when I am trying to download the TPMOSD.

I am follow the link that provided in dashboard.

Thanks

Hi, I just tried and I was able to download them.

I used Firefox browser and my IBM Web ID which was entitled to download the TPMfOSD.

May you try that link on Firefox ?

Are you entitled to download TPMfOSd from FixCentral ?

If you are IBM internal, you should be allowed, otherwise you need to check your Passport Advantage profile.

Thanks

Francesco

Hi Francesco,

Thank.

I am able to get the installer and successfully install.

But I found new issue from the console.

After install the TPMfOSD I am going to deploy the OS and I found the “Deploy” button is grey out.

And my WIM image got a warning which is “WIM does not have corresponding OS resource”. (attached Image 1)

Then I check the dashboard health and show the fail on “WIM Images have compatible OS Resource”.

And I follow the article and they request to upload the folder in:

MDTBundle\Cotent\Deploy\

Operating Systems folder is empty inside.

And I am unable to create bare metal profile and it was grey when I want to clicks on it.

Thanks

Hi,

as Health Checks reports, the OS resources for Windows x86 sp1 are likely missing. They are in the
MDTBundle\Content\Deploy\

Operating Systems folder only
if they have been created when MDT bundle has been created providing the location of the .iso file of that OS version.

You can also create them later, specifying the option, in the Bundle and Media Manager -> MDT Bundle creators -> Create MDT bundle -> select the MDT bundle creator computer -> Create new OS resources only and provide the location of the .iso file. Then, import them.

Thanks.
