I thought I had followed instructions properly, by reading the support documentation and watching the videos provided, but a few parts of my setup aren't working.
I have GSS 3.0 HF4 running on a virtual 2012 R2 server. I have the server and console installed on the same server. During the custom installation, I specified the network path that we want to use for image and other file storage. Why is it that the entire installation of GSS 3 now seems to be on that network file share instead of on the server I initiated the installation on?
Since that installation, I get 'Boot Disk Creator does not support the requested operation' when I attempt to create automation partitions or any other boot media. (I am running the Boot Disk Creator from within the Console, and not the standalone version.) Most options are greyed out and I get that error message just before 'Preparing install environment' attempts to run.
I have been able to create automation partitions on prior GSS 3 installations that did not have a custom path to a file share in the initial custom setup. However, those automation partitions would not map to any drive I specified during the Boot Disk Creator build, and I got error 99 messages when attempting to distribute images. The only way I have been able to get an automation partition to work and create and distribute images is to have GSS 3 and default file share locations all on C:\. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Simple jobs like software installations, scripts, files transfers, etc., work fine with all GSS 3 installations I've done.
I'm having multiple problems here and I hope it's just something basic I've overlooked. I'd appreciate some guidance. With the holiday break approaching, it's likely that I will not be able to respond to questions/comments until Jan. 4.
Thanks very much.
