ADS - Capturing OEM partitions

G

Guest

I've been trying to use ADS 1.1, installed on a W2k3 Enterprise, to capture a
OEM partition from a Dell Poweredge 2850 server.

I can capture other partitions from the same server (System and Data), but I
can't capture the OEM partition.

This is the disk geometry I have on the PE2850:

Disk Geometry for [\Device\Harddisk0] :
Cylinders ............: 17834
Media Type ...........: 12
Tracks Per Cylinder ..: 255
Sectors Per Track ....: 63
Bytes Per Sector .....: 512
Signature ............: 1570243347
Partition Style ......: MBR

Partition Information for [\Device\Harddisk0\Partition1] :
Hidden Sectors .......: 63
Starting Offset ......: 32256
Partition Length .....: 32868864 (31 MB)
Partition Type .......: 222 (Unknown partition type)
Partition Bootable ...: FALSE
Recognized Partition .: TRUE
Partition Information has not changed.

Partition Information for [\Device\Harddisk0\Partition2] :
Hidden Sectors .......: 64260
Starting Offset ......: 32901120
Partition Length .....: 5765921280 (5498 MB)
Partition Type .......: 7 (PARTITION_IFS)
Partition Bootable ...: TRUE
Recognized Partition .: TRUE
Partition Information has not changed.

Partition Information for [\Device\Harddisk0\Partition3] :
Hidden Sectors .......: 11325825
Starting Offset ......: 5798822400
Partition Length .....: 3150282240 (3004 MB)
Partition Type .......: 7 (PARTITION_IFS)
Partition Bootable ...: FALSE
Recognized Partition .: TRUE
Partition Information has not changed.

This is the sequence I'm using (the target has already booted to DA, so I
only want to capture the partition):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<sequence version="1" description="Capture OEM partition"
command="Capture_OEM_partition.xml"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ads/2003/sequence">
<task description="Capture OEM partition" doesReboot="false">
<command>/IMAGING/imgbmdeploy.exe</command>
<parameters>
<parameter>"Dell_PE2850_OEM_part"</parameter>
<parameter>\device\harddisk0\partition1</parameter>
<parameter>"Dell PowerEdge 2850 - particao OEM"</parameter>
<parameter>/c</parameter>
<parameter>/p</parameter>
<parameter>/client</parameter>
<parameter>/nonetencrypt</parameter>
</parameters>
</task>
</sequence>

And this is the error I get on ADS, with an Exit Code of "-1056960493":

"The boot sector data in the image file is corrupted."

Has anyone ever seen this, or has any idea of how I can solve this?

Thanks in advance!

You are lucky, I am getting this:
Windows could not start due to an error while booting the RAMDISK. Windows
failed to build a bootable RAMDISK image. System will reboot in 5 seconds

I had that one too... I'll try to hekp you on that.

What version of ADS are you using? If it's 1.0, I'd consider upgrading to
1.1. It comes with several fixes, one of them related to that error message
you're getting.

That message is typical when the necessary network drivers for the
target/device are not loaded in the PreSystem folder. Re-check that you're
using the correct W2k3 network drivers for the machine you're trying to
capture/deploy. While you're at it, check also the storage controller drivers.

Also, activate tracing (logging) for the ADS Builder Service. All this is
discussed in the article KB841550.

I hope that helps!

Thanks,
I will check into it, it sems like a driver problem for sure, most likely
the PERC driver.
I am also using PE2850.
But the only article I could find about this message was 899343 and I am
using ADS 1.1 with newer files so it led me nowhere.
About your problem - Are you sure that ADS can capture anything else
besides NTFS partitions? I think you need to capture the whole disk.

Once you turn the tracing on, it'll tell you what drivers/files are missing.

ADS can be used to capture the OEM partition, yes. KB article #875418 refers
that, but doesn't show any example of the capture sequence to use (so, I'm
assuming it's just like any other partition).

I'll continue to have a look on this problem, because it would simplify even
more the deployment of new server hardware.

Success! It was the NIC driver.
I also tried to capture the OEM partition and had the same error message.
It may be because of the RAID, but unfortunately I don't have time to
install W on a single disk and play with it.

That's good news! In a few days, I hope to have a few other servers (Dell PE
6850) captured/deployed. I don't expect any problems with them.

For ADS, the RAID should be transparent, it shouldn't make any difference.
Anyway, I'll do a few more tests, at least until someone can tell me exactly
what I'm doing wrong...

How can I change the type of the partition, without loosing it's data? If I
do that, on the deployment stage, I'll have to change from FAT32 to "222"
again... Is that possible?

Just to let everyone know that this issue no longer exists. I've tried on
new servers (PE1850, 2850 and 6850) that came with a newer BIOS version, and
everything worked as expected.

Thanks to everyone, and especially to Alexander Ortha, who gave me the hint
about the BIOS version.

How can I change the type of the partition, without loosing it's data? If I
do that, on the deployment stage, I'll have to change from FAT32 to "222"
again... Is that possible?

Change partition type 222 to 'c' (FAT32) and try again.

I've been trying to use ADS 1.1, installed on a W2k3 Enterprise, to
capture a
OEM partition from a Dell Poweredge 2850 server.

I can capture other partitions from the same server (System and Data), but
I
can't capture the OEM partition.

This is the disk geometry I have on the PE2850:

Disk Geometry for [\Device\Harddisk0] :
Cylinders ............: 17834
Media Type ...........: 12
Tracks Per Cylinder ..: 255
Sectors Per Track ....: 63
Bytes Per Sector .....: 512
Signature ............: 1570243347
Partition Style ......: MBR

Partition Information for [\Device\Harddisk0\Partition1] :
Hidden Sectors .......: 63
Starting Offset ......: 32256
Partition Length .....: 32868864 (31 MB)
Partition Type .......: 222 (Unknown partition type)
Partition Bootable ...: FALSE
Recognized Partition .: TRUE
Partition Information has not changed.

Partition Information for [\Device\Harddisk0\Partition2] :
Hidden Sectors .......: 64260
Starting Offset ......: 32901120
Partition Length .....: 5765921280 (5498 MB)
Partition Type .......: 7 (PARTITION_IFS)
Partition Bootable ...: TRUE
Recognized Partition .: TRUE
Partition Information has not changed.

Partition Information for [\Device\Harddisk0\Partition3] :
Hidden Sectors .......: 11325825
Starting Offset ......: 5798822400
Partition Length .....: 3150282240 (3004 MB)
Partition Type .......: 7 (PARTITION_IFS)
Partition Bootable ...: FALSE
Recognized Partition .: TRUE
Partition Information has not changed.

This is the sequence I'm using (the target has already booted to DA, so I
only want to capture the partition):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<sequence version="1" description="Capture OEM partition"
command="Capture_OEM_partition.xml"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ads/2003/sequence">
<task description="Capture OEM partition" doesReboot="false">
<command>/IMAGING/imgbmdeploy.exe</command>
<parameters>
<parameter>"Dell_PE2850_OEM_part"</parameter>
<parameter>\device\harddisk0\partition1</parameter>
<parameter>"Dell PowerEdge 2850 - particao OEM"</parameter>
<parameter>/c</parameter>
<parameter>/p</parameter>
<parameter>/client</parameter>
<parameter>/nonetencrypt</parameter>
</parameters>
</task>
</sequence>

And this is the error I get on ADS, with an Exit Code of "-1056960493":

"The boot sector data in the image file is corrupted."

Has anyone ever seen this, or has any idea of how I can solve this?

Thanks in advance!
