This only works if you have the tool that will change the UUID. Around here we have to do everything manually. I have no idea how I would change the UUID during the cloning process. Even if I did it is one more thing to remember to do.
We don't use Red Hat, do I guess I don't have to worry. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of John Summerfield Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 8:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Root filesystem David Boyes wrote: > > 3) It complicates cloning and replication of system images in that if > you use a template VG structure, it is difficult to be able to import a > VG for repair in another system if all the VG names are the same (ie, > you can't easily fix it if all your VGs are called "system_vg", > including the one in your recovery system). > fyi Red Hat is moving from labelling filesystems to using UUIDs. I imagine it would be prudent for those cloning systems to include part that generates new UUIDs. You should also consider adding a script to your cloning process to change the default "standard" volume and group names to names that are unique. This would alleviate the problem of importing a VG for repair. -- Cheers John -- spambait [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Advice http://webfoot.com/advice/email.top.php http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 You cannot reply off-list:-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 __________________________________________________________________________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email from the State of California is for the sole use of the intended recipient and may contain confidential and privileged information.
