I expect to end up with the same results. I have not yet tested this on a RAID-5 set, but will be doing so this week. I've applied all the fixes mentioned by everyone thus far with the exact same results. Clearly in my case this was due to the MBR being different between the two drives. Just like TimmyT2002, the array could not boot and would sit at a blank screen with a blinking cursor. The image downloaded, but was only written to the first of the 2 drives in the RAID-1 array. I didn't think much of it and downloaded that image to another x345 with the same hardware. Technically, it can get away with doing this, though it doesn't make much sense (the controller should interleave reads for higher performance automatically). Once I got past this step, I could upload an image from a RAID1 machine, though it would only read from the first drive in the array.
#Norton ghost 2003 demo driver
This problem was resolved by loading the IPSRASPI driver from the ServRAID 5i DOS tools disk. Thus far I have only tried to upload/download images with ghost on RAID-1 arrays consisting of 18gb drives.įirst, ghost would be able to detect the logical drive, but when I selected the drive (either for image upload or download), ghost would freeze. I've had basically the same problems as many have mentioned above while dealing with x345's using the ServRAID 5i. Tom Barnett RE: Ghost problems with IBM xSeries Raid5 (IS/IT-Management) 8 Feb 02 11:36 I have been pestering IBM for 2 months and they have not responded. I follow the procedure AGAIN, and put the same Ghost image on top of the same partition I just created, and it starts jsut fine. When I reboot the machine, I get the message "Windows 2000 could not statr because the following file is missing or corrupt: \system32\ntoskrnl.exe" I run Ghost and click Local/Partition/From Image and then create a partition and pull down the image.

I boot from a network diskette and map a drive to the share with my image. I then create the system partition and exit ServerGuide. I create a RAID1 set for the OS and RAID 5 the rest of the drives (I have tried different combinations of RAID1 & RAID5 to see if this may have been the problem). On the new machine, I boot with the ServerGuide CD and wipe the drives clean and re-initialize the array. I create a Ghost image of the partition - not the entire disk, since I am using this image for serveral models (x342, x360, x232) Then we are installing apps onto the new server that has been created from the image to create machines with exchange, web, infrastructure, application.
#Norton ghost 2003 demo install
I install Win2k Server and a few apps - we are creating a base image for all of our servers - and then I run SYSPREP and image the partition with Ghost.
#Norton ghost 2003 demo update
The IBM partition is created and I continue through the ServerGuide version of the Win2k installation (which is bad by the way.) NOTE: I also used UpdateXpress CD v1.04 to update my firmware. I am using the ServerGuide 6.06 CD to setup the drives.
