Abstract
How to capture images and store them on a Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment server
 
Content
In the Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment, Version 7.1.1, information center topic named"Capturing images and storing on the server"
which can be found navigating as follows:

Managing images > Capturing images and storing on the server

the paragraphs:

"Note: Before capturing a Windows virtual machine on a VMWare ESX hypervisor, ensure that you created the virtual machine with type Microsoft Vista, even if another operating system is loaded on the virtual machine. Use a BUS LOGIC disk adapter and a RAM of approximately 1 GB.

When capturing a Windows Vista virtual machine that has the BUS LOGIC controller, you need to inject the appropriate mass storage drivers in the WinPE software module. If the virtual machine has the e1000 network adapter model, you do not need to inject its related drivers."

should be modified as follows:

"Note: Before deploying an image captured from a different source, for example a physical computer, on a VMWare ESX hypervisor, ensure that you created the new virtual machine to be deployed with type Microsoft Vista, even if another operating system is going to be deployed loaded on that virtual machine. Use a BUS LOGIC disk adapter and a RAM of at least 1 GB.


You need to inject the appropriate BUS LOGIC mass storage drivers in the WinPE software module.

It might be necessary to inject also the network adapter drivers, but if your virtual machine has the e1000 network adapter model, you do not need to inject its related drivers.
