Image Assist Dynamic for Multiple Platforms Version 11.1 User's Guide

Using Image Assist Dynamic on virtual machine

You can create an image using a physical system or a virtual machine. But, it is recommended that you use a virtual machine to create an image. If you are using a physical system, it is recommended that you use a Dell OptiPlex, Dell Latitude, or Dell Precision system.

The following are the advantages of using a virtual machine to create an image:

  • Lesser development time
  • Ability to create and use snapshots or checkpoints to test different configurations quickly
  • No hardware issues
  • Prevents the installation of other applications which may be installed as part of a driver installation
  • Easy to navigate between lab, test, and production environments
  • Easy to recapture an image even after modifications and additions to the operating system
  • Minimum failures while resolving issues during the Check Image process
NOTE:If you use a physical system, more time is required to create an image because of the hardware drivers that are installed during the process.
NOTE:If you use a physical system to build the dynamic image, ensure that you do not connect the system to the Internet.
