Cant image virtual machine with lite touch

Post by kheener »

When i create a new fixed vm through virtualbox and boot into our imaging server it gets stuck on formatting and partitioning the disk. So i rebooted back into the share and went to the command prompt and listed the disks with disk part and it found none. I follow the same basic steps with vmware and it creates a disk with the amount of space ive requested.

So i loaded a windows 7 iso there to boot to and it saw the disk right away. So as a test i created a partition with it and then shut it down and netbooted back into our share. I checked with disk part and it saw the disk now with the right amount of space. I rebooted to go back into image and again it failed so i checked with disk part again and the partition was gone and it wouldnt list any disks.

So i repeated the above process and it then made it past formatting but failed as soon as it started to inject the drivers.

Not sure why when i create a fixed disk it doesnt create a disk that lite touch can see. I have confirmed all settings are identical to that of virtual machines that i have in vmware. I am assuming it has to do with the actual disk than anything else. But am lost to what i am doing wrong.

lite touch may not support .vdi files (not sure)
You should ask the lite touch folks.
VirtualBox and VMWare are different programs and support different features.
OSX, Linux and Windows Hosts & Guests
There are three groups of people. Those that can count and those that can't.
