I'm trying to configure systemimager on my server and a few client machines. I'm having problems restoring the image back to the client. I will first list the version of systemimager OS system type etc. etc then pose my question at the end. I will so give some limitation to my environment which include network, security etc.
Server: Hardware: Hewlett Packard DL380 O/S: RedHat Enterprise linux AS version3 Kernel: 2.4.21-4.EL Systemimager: 4.0.0.1 I'm not permitted to configure DHCP on my server do to security issues here at my facility. Clients: Hardware: Dell PowerEdge 6650 O/S: RedHat Enterprise linux Kernel: 2.4.21.-15.0.3.EL Systemimager: 4.0.01 Client limitations are they have old BOIS and do not have USB booting capabilities. I have created an ISO CD as alternative. SECCUSSES: Client: # si_prepareclient --server 192.200.82.xxx Server: # si_getimage -ip-assignment REPLICANT -golden-client 129.200.82.xxx .... PROBLEMS: The only way I can get the bootable CD to work is to have a formatted and labeled disk drive installed. Otherwise I get the following error Cannot open root device "raw" or unknown-block (1,0) please append a correct "root=" boot option kernek panic: VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0) <6> LKCD not yet configured can't take dump QUESTION: I have read "HOWTO raw-disk cloning with SystemImager" but this document assumes pxe and DHCP. Is where anyway to raw-disk clone from a bootable CD?? Tim ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
