Hi,
My concern is not directly related to Clonezilla, but generic to theconcept
of cloning.
I have a server with CentOS 5.3 and Samba.
As a back up measure against HDD and other peripheral failure, I have
purchased an identical PC and I plan to clone the main server and then run
rsync on daily basis.
Everything seems fine in this schematic and I am fine with this backup
approach.
My concern is:
Both the server's have identical specs sans the ethernet.
When I will restore the image on the 2nd PC, and boot, it will alert for a *new
ethernet device found* and by default it will create a new interface ETH1
Is there any way to avoid creating the new ethernet device ETH1 and be able
to use the the original ETH0.
One thought which crossed my mind, but I have not tried is, after cloning, I
can boot the server using a live distro (may be knopix), mount the cloned
HDD and make changes to the ETH configuration, namely MAC address or
whatever else. Not sure what should I change, and then boot the closed HDD.
Does this make sense ? Will it help.
Can someone throw light on how to prevent the creation of ETH1.
Thx in advance.
Best regards,
Vai
