Error - Operating System snapshot failure

[limiteddenial]

I'm trying to import and distribute a captured wim file but it fails when creating a snapshot. The wim file is on a network share that all the site systems have access to(verified).

 

The wim is 145GB(I know, it is an absurd size)

 

The primary site only has 50GB free between 2 drives. But since the content isn't being distributed to that server I don't think the space is an issue. Even if it creates a hash on that server it should be fill up any one of those drives.

 

The DP I'm trying to distribute the wim has one drive that has 429GB free and another drive that has 1.8TB free. Quota's aren't enabled on the distribution point.

 

I have tested with the default windows wim which is roughly around 3GB and that distributes fine to all the DPs.

 

 

 

Here are the log entries from distmgr.log from the primary site:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The sending server still has to create a snapshot of the files it needs to send; it'll create those files locally on the server and store them locally, not on the file share the source resides on. At that point it then sends from the local server out to the DPs; however, the files will still reside on the Primary in one way or another.

 

Adding a larger HDD to the sending server should allow it to process.

 

And, Jesus, that's a big WIM

Thanks, I was under the impression the primary site didn't store the content locally and only the DPs would. Appreciate the clarification.

 

I increased the hdd on the primary site and everything was happy again.

Thanks for the info, just what I needed. This thread made me clear that the Primary Site Server also needs sufficient storage for deployments and not only the DP. So the fact that the Site Server makes a snapshot clears a lot of fog for me.

 

Pretty obvious actually
