TestStand Deployment Installer Media Spanning

[dpg]

I am creating an installer from the TestStand Deployment Utility. There is a media spanning option that permits selection of various media sizes: CD, extended CD, DVD, etc... I have created a deployment / installer (659MB) that exceeds the threshold for the standard CD (650MB). I would expect 2 volumes to be created in the deployment /installer build directory: Volume 1 and Volume 2. This is not the case, only Volume 1 is created, it exceeds the 650MB limit.

Thanks.

Thanks for the input and for bringing this to our attention!  I am going to work up some tests and look into this.  If there is a CAR filed, I will let you know!

What version of TestStand are you using? This doesn't seem to be an issue in TestStand 2010 with the simple test that I put together.

TestStand 4.2.

Would you try to set the media spanning with a size of something along the order of 250 MB/volume and see if it splits up the data then?

Were you able to test this with a custom media size like 250 MB? Both Shawn and I were able to get the 650 MB and 250 MB media spanning scenarios working. I'd like to rule out the possibility that your deployment is so close to 650 MB cutoff that the media is not being separated into 2 volumes.

If the custom media size (250 MB) case also fails for you, then we will have a better idea of what might be causing this.
