Collect a cloning image from an already deployed server.
The target server must be stopped if it is a virtual server and must be started if it is a physical server before collecting a cloning image.
Note
When the target is a physical server, if the Cloning page is closed after starting to collect an image, the Cloning page will not be able to be opened until the image collection finishes.
The Cloning button is not displayed for Solaris container management servers.
With VMware servers, if images are collected without data disks included, the actual collected image will be an image including data disks. However, the image information registered after image collection will not include data disks, so if this image information is used to deploy a server, it is deployed only a system disk.
Perform the following steps to collect an image:
Display the L-Platform Details page
Refer to "8.3.2 L-Platform Detailed Information Display" for the display method.
Select the target server, and then click the Cloning button.
The Cloning page is displayed.
Click the Cloning button.
A pop-up window is displayed.
Name: Enter up to 32 single-byte characters.
Comment: The comment can be omitted. Enter up to 256 characters.
Destination image pool: From the drop-down menu, specify the output destination image pool.
Data disk: Specify whether to include the disk in the image if the server includes a data disk.
When the Cloning button is clicked, image collection starts.
