One of my team members is trying to run the cloning process described in "The Virtualization Cookbook for z/VM 6.3, RHEL 6.4 and SLES 11 SP3 October 2013, January 2014 (SG-248147-00)". I believe the process has worked in the past. But as things go the environment has changed over time.
Here is the question from the team member. We are still using the cloning process documented in, and scripts provided with, "The Virtualization Cookbook for z/VM 6.3, RHEL 6.4 and SLES 11 SP3 October 2013, January 2014 (SG-248147-00)". It's been sometime since I last used the process to create a new zLinux system and when I try now I'm finding that the procedure to update the IP information on the clone copy corrupts one or more of the copy's file systems. I can use DDR to build a bootable system from the gold image so I'm fairly sure the dasd copy process is working ok. The gold image is not corrupted. It boots without an error and so does the DDR copy. We're currently running z/VM 6.4 (RSU1801). The 'LNXADMIN' system is running Linux version 2.6.32-504.8.1.el6.s390x (Red Hat 4.4.7-4) and that's what we're cloning. Has anyone experienced this problem and found a work around? Thanks..
