Greg,

This happens to me frequently when using Ghost to clone CMF servers.  Have a
look at the following MSKB articles and it should explain what is happening
to you and how to correct the problem.  It is a bit of a butt pain to
correct, but I've done it several times with success.

Hope this helps.

Rob

Subject: [THIN] "DL580 Raid 1 Mirroring"


I am trying to clone a Win2k3 server on a DL580 and am following the
Advanced Conpets guide in doing so but I am having a rough go of it. 
When I remove drive 0 from an existing server and install it in a server
with nothing on it. I successfully bring the server up and am doing the
following:

1. Stop IMA service and set to manual
2. Rename Server name
3. Run Newsid /a newservname
4. Reboot

The problem is when I reboot at this time it is trying to install something
using Wininstall. It then goes into a loop and it never allows me to log on.
The server is also not getting on the network.

Does anyone successfully cloning servers using the smart array controllers
(6400) by breaking mirror sets?

What am I missing?

Thanks!
