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.
[Cloning] button is not displayed when the target server satisfies either of the following conditions:
Servers whose virtualization software is Solaris Zone or OVM for SPARC
Physical servers whose operating system is Solaris
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 information on 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.
However, this cannot be specified if the server virtualization software is RHEL-KVM.
When the [Cloning] button is clicked, image collection starts.
