G'day, I am trying to setup systemimager to allow me to re-image a remote box so I don't have to fly to a location or get someone at the site run the install. So far, I figured I could copy the kernel and initrd.img to /boot on the box, add them to grub.conf as the default, type reboot, and si reimages the box (really cool)! However, what I would really like to do is have a simple way for the box to reload, reboot, then come up with the same IP address it originally had, not DHCP.
To prepare my box, I run a simple script that copies the initrd.img and the kernel, then sets up grub.conf. This script could mount the initrd and copy files to it such as the network settings.... How can I get access to these settings as the post-install scripts run in a chroot environment hence can't see the info on the initrd? Will I have to hack the ramdisk init.d code to copy something or is there an external method? I am installing CentOS 5 using Systeminstaller 3.8.1. Also, I would like to mirror my systemimager server, but to a separate network. The instructions expect the networks to be connected. What directories would I need to copy besides /var/lib/systemimager, /usr/share/systemimager, and /tftpboot?
