Dear All Further to my previous email, I've done a bit more digging and it appears I have two problems. I intend to address these separately.
PROBLEM 1 There seems to be a problem with the reconfiguring of the network interfaces in systemimager. I think maybe this is because the servers in question are using bonded interfaces. The contents of the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg files on the golden client are as follows: ifcfg-eth1 # Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5703X Gigabit Ethernet DEVICE=eth1 HWADDR=00:06:5B:EE:91:EA USERCTL=no MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none ifcfg-eth0 # Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5703X Gigabit Ethernet DEVICE=eth0 HWADDR=00:06:5B:EE:91:E9 USERCTL=no MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none ifcfg-bond0 # Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5703X Gigabit Ethernet DEVICE=bond0 BROADCAST=10.80.23.255 IPADDR=10.80.18.27 IPV6ADDR= IPV6PREFIX= NETMASK=255.255.248.0 NETWORK=10.80.16.0 ONBOOT=yes BONDING_OPTS="mode=active-backup miimon=100" GATEWAY=10.80.16.1 These are identical to those contained on the image server. However once the client is installed the files on the new clone are as follows: ifcfg-eth1 # Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5703X Gigabit Ethernet DEVICE=eth1 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=dhcp HWADDR=00:06:5b:ee:91:0b ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE="eth0" ONBOOT="yes" BOOTPROTO="dhcp" ifcfg-bond0 # Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5703X Gigabit Ethernet DEVICE=bond0 BROADCAST=10.80.23.255 IPADDR=10.80.18.27 IPV6ADDR= IPV6PREFIX= NETMASK=255.255.248.0 NETWORK=10.80.16.0 ONBOOT=yes BONDING_OPTS="mode=active-backup miimon=100" GATEWAY=10.80.16.1 The hardware address in eth1 is the correct one for the new server but otherwise the scripts sfor the two eth devices seem to be very inconsistent and that for the bond0 device is unchanged from the golden client. Has this failed because of some incorrect config on my part or is it a bug/result of the bonded interfaces. PROBLEM 2 to follow.
