I have been booting with a network boot disk and placing the image on a network
drive. We have been doing this for quite a while with all of our servers and
this is the first time we have encountered a problem.
If ghost locks up during imaging, there is no error message -- ghost just
hangs. If it does complete an image, ghost will tell you that the file is
corrupt when you try to restore the image and that you are not able to restore
the file. I have tried this with both ghost 7.5 and 8.0.

Where are you placing the ghost image? Are you doing a Ghostcast, or booting
with a network boot disk and mapping a drive to it to save the image? Also,
what is the error message you do get when it fails?

I'm running into a problem ghosting my 2003 servers. Ghost keeps failing.
It either locks up when I am trying to create the image or if it does create
the image, ghost tells me it is corrupt when I try to restore it. I spoke with
Symantec and they told that they do not support Ghost on RAID and that I have
to buy a PowerQuest product instead. The system I am trying to ghost
is a Dell 1750 with a Perc 4/Di controller. Any suggestions on how to
tweak ghost to make it work?

Just wondering that...
Stop IMA, play reg entry games, Run Sysprep, image, push image boot, go through
server name/IP motions. Boot and start IMA. Life is good.
The CHFARM I use when I have one image I use for multiple farms but you can use
it the way greg does too.

Why did you boot from the 2003 CD and repair the installation? I haven't had
to do this. Also, what hardware is this running on?

did it with mine. Worked great.
installed first server and got it set. used chfarm and put it in a = dummy
farm.
made an image of that server.=20
Ghosted it to the new server. Booted it form the Windows 2003 CD and =
chose to install then repair. Once that was done I ran newsid and =
changed the name. Plugged it back into the network. Joined it to the = domain
and then used chfarm to join my existing farm.
Everything went smooth.
