Copying is done at the file level. There is no compression provided or consolidation of empty space to resize drives.
To open the System Copy wizard, perform the following step:
On the Copy Mode page, select Volume, then click Next.
If you choose volume copy, please note that the mounted iSCSI disk must already exist as a previously initialized and partitioned disk and the boot volume is marked active.
|
Note: |
If you select Incremental Copy, the only files copied will be the files changed or added since the most recent copy. The only reason to select Quick Format is if the disk needs to be formatted. By selecting Quick Format, the process completes faster. |
On the Source Volume page, select the source volume which represents the local system's boot partition, then click Next.
In this example, Local Disk C: is the boot volume on the Windows Server system.
On the Destination Volume page, select the iSCSI destination volume from which the Windows system will boot, then click Proceed.
In this example, Free [Y:] is the iSCSI target volume that will contain a copy of the local system's boot partition.
The following warning is displayed.
The warning is only in reference to the specific iSCSI boot volume that was originally created under the Disk Management MMC to host this system.
In the message warning box, click Yes.
System Copy starts to copy files. The copy operation progress is displayed.
When copying is complete, click Close.
The system may be powered down if proceeding to boot from the assigned iSCSI target.

Note: |
If you used the DVD to boot, remove it from the system and make the appropriate changes in your BIOS boot order, if necessary, to boot from the network. |
If you have used System Copy to copy the Flex Client boot image to SAN, then continue to Setting the Flex Client to boot from network.
