+---- Thread: Deploy multiple OS's on multiple HDD's on one machine at once (/showthread.php?tid=4735346)
Deploy multiple OS's on multiple HDD's on one machine at once - .Nick. - Mar 17, 2015
In my work place we currently deploy OS's to machines using a PXE boot service, with some pre-imaged machines.
Due to this not being a major task for my role, little development has been put into this process and currently we deploy a single HDD to machine at a time.
I was wondering if anyone knows of any solutions that will allow, for example, a single machine, that has had multiple HDD's that can all be deployed a OS at once?
I though't it may be possible if I had the same amount of NIC's to HDD's being installed on, then try and configured multiple instances of PXE unsing a Esxi host or VMWareWorkstation for small scale.

So, you basically want to image multiple HDDs at once?

Precisely, but in parallel at singe location.
Unfortunately my company doesn't have a bundle of spare machines, so ghost deployment is out of the question.

If you have certain amount of cash, you could get a HDD duplicator.
