I have a few RedHat servers that I want to clone to new machines.
Can I just partition them, boot knoppix and copy everything over, (rsync over
ssh? something faster) or is there more I need to do.
Are there any gotchas I should watch out for.
Also If I want to setup two identical servers for failover, is there anything
else besides for the hostname and IP address that I have to change after
copying everything over.
Am I going at this the right way or am I on the right track.
There is almost certainly the file: /root/anaconda-ks.cfg
which lists the partitioning and initial packages of the
master system. Update the package list with the result of:
rpm -qa --qf '%{name} \n' | sort
Uncomment the partitioning information, and doing a kickstart
install will turn out the the same install, over and over, all
day, hands off.
