Resize volumes to fit target disk: The software will proportionally extend or reduce each of the

deployed volumes according to the available space on the target disk.
The following examples assume that you have a 300-GB target disk that already contains two

volumes: the first volume is 50 GB in size, and the second volume is 250 GB in size.

Example 1. You are deploying a single 100-GB volume. In Target disk layout, you selected to

replace all volumes on the target disk. In this case, the size of the deployed volume will be

300 GB.
Example 2. You are deploying a single 100-GB volume. In Target disk layout, you selected to

replace the second (250-GB) volume on the target disk. In this case, the size of the deployed

volume will be 250 GB. The first volume on the target disk will remain intact.
Example 3. You are deploying two 50-GB volumes. Because you are deploying more than one

volume, all volumes on the target disk will be deleted; see “Target disk layout” (p. 86). Each

of the deployed volumes will be 150 GB in size.
Example 4. You are deploying a 10-GB volume and a 20-GB volume. All volumes on the target

disk will be deleted. The deployed volumes will be 100 GB and 200 GB in size, respectively.
Example 5. You are deploying a 1000-GB volume and a 2000-GB volume, both of which

contain little data. All volumes on the target disk will be deleted. The deployed volumes will

be 100 GB and 200 GB in size, respectively. If either volume contains too much data to be

reduced to the respective size, the deployment will fail.

As in the master image: Each deployed volume will have the same size as in the master image.

Any excess available space on the target disk will become unallocated. If the target disk does not

contain enough available space for placing the volumes, the deployment will fail.

Settings preference

The Settings preference setting determines whether individual deployment settings of a machine (p.

130) can override the deployment settings in the template.

When the Settings preference setting is enabled and you set up an individual setting for a machine,

deployment to that machine will be performed with the individual setting, ignoring the

corresponding setting in the template.

When the Settings preference setting is disabled, deployment to all machines will be performed with

the settings in the template, ignoring any individual settings.

Machine name and membership

This setting determines the machine names, also known as NetBIOS names, of the target machines; it

also determines the name of the workgroup or the Active Directory domain to which the target

machines will be added after the deployment.
