from the command line
This chapter includes the following topics:
■
Running DeployAnywhere from the command line
■
Adding new drivers to the Ghost Deploy Anywhere driver database
Running DeployAnywhere from the command line
The Deploy Anywhere feature lets you retarget an image to suit a computer that
has different hardware from the model computer from which the image was
created. This lets you deploy a generic image to a range of different computers
and perform a retargeting of the computers, rather than requiring a separate
image for each hardware set.
If you want to use DeployAnywhere outside the managed environment, you can
run the DeployAnywhere executable,
ghDplyAw32.exe
, from the command line.
The executable is located in the same folder as the Ghost standard tools.
When you use ghDplyAw32.exe you need to do the following:
■
Firstly, evaluate the target volume to verify that the necessary drivers are
available.
If all of the required drivers are available, the evaluation step returns "Success".
See “Evaluating the target volume” on page 52.
■
Retarget the image. You should perform this step only after the evaluation
step has verified that all the necessary drivers are available.
See “Retargeting the image” on page 53.
Table 4-1 describes the GhDplyAw32.exe command line switches.
