I have created a DRBL server on Ubuntu 12.04LTS. I would like to assign ip addresses to hardware mac addresses so clients can receive the same ip address when they sign into the PXE server.
Yes, I am aware that there is an ip-to-hostname file but I think that is meant for pushing images to multiple clients. I have used Clonezilla-live for years and store images on a ssh server. I would like to setup DRBL/Clonezilla SE to do image backups via PXE client logins. Eliminating the need to boot from a live-cd. I have a small home lan consisting of three computers I would like to backup. So, my needs are simple but, the lan is growing. I tried entering mac address assignments into the /etc/dhcp/dhcp.conf file. That broke the PXE login. Clients could not 'find' the dhcp server and hung searching. Removing my mac address assignments corrected the dhcp search and clients once again could log in. I have searched the mailing list archives and could not locate any references to assigning ip to mac address. Has anyone done this before? -- Robert Wooden Nashville, TN. USA Computer Freedom? . . .
