10.6 Insight Control for Linux partition wizard overview
The Insight Control for Linux Partition Wizard is a generic hybrid of the Red Hat and Novell
Partition Wizards. The Partition Wizard does not have logic to examine the managed systems
on which it is used, thus you must have prior knowledge of the storage hardware.
The Partition Wizard enables you to capture an image with one partition scheme and then to
deploy the image to one or more managed systems with a more customized partition scheme.
An example of this might be a default installation where the file system was installed with a /
(root) and swap partition. You could capture this image and later deploy it to multiple servers
as /, swap, /opt, /usr , and /var without having to manually manipulate the image.
