Mass production of HORM enabled system

[Shiju]

Hi,
In mass production of an HORM enabled XPE system,should HORM be enabled
on each system separately. Or is it possible to enable HORM in a master
XPE image and then do copying of that images to other systems of same
configuration. As I know the hibernation file is so dependent to the
specific hardware on which the hibernation file was created and cannot
be copied to other systems even if the system has the exact
configuration.So HORM should be enabled for each and every system on
mass production.This require additional time in the production line. Am
I right? Or is there any method by which we could enable HORM on one
master image and just copy it on to other system.

Thanks,
Shiju

Shiju,

1. As you probably know you must do sector copy of whole master disk.
2. You must use same hardware on all machines.
3. PnP will pick up only devices with different serial numbers. This mean
HDD and network adapters by default. So if you don't have network card
present XPe shouldl be able to deal with HDD change.

PS:
You should try it and let us know.

Hi Slobodan,
My concern is with the hibernation file in the master image. I tested
sector copy of the image with hiber file. The image was copied to a
same model harddisk. On booting the XPE image on the new harddisk on the
same system on which the master image was created, it gave a blue
screen. There was no problem copying images without hibernation file .
Is there anyone who have tested XPE with HORM for mass production ??

Thanks & Regards,
Shiju

Shiju,

I have never tried this :-(

If there are "NO" changes on your hardware it should work. Having said this
you might need.
1. Same disk model.
2. Possibly filter driver that will give same disk serial number to your
disk. (This will certainly work.)

How about making image as for cloning scenario.
1. fbreseal
2. do what ever you need to do on unique image.
3. Auto hibenate.

Some procedure like that?
