Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to make vserver-copy work?
It looks like it does everything, but the network interface name isn't
created.
Creating every vserver via build and downloading packages online is not
an option since they all need to be 100% identical (obviosly apart from
IP + hostname).
I also need to make maybe 50-75 servers with 16 guests each, so I can't
have different versions everywhere.
I two am running into the issue of creating a copies of guests. Not
anywhere near your scale but I want it faster than a build each time.
I still haven't sorted out all the processes. Though I looked at
vserver-copy I think I found two different scripts that went about it in
totally different ways.
What I have tried, but had problems with, is to:
* build $FIRSTGUEST and get it all up-to-date and in place.
* build $NEWGUEST one using the skeleton method.
* remove all the files from the /vserver/$NEWGUEST
* copy all the files from $FIRSTGUEST into $NEWGUEST.
Issues I haven't confirmed/resolved are:
* if I need to copy all the files/information from
/vservers/.pkg/$FIRSTGUEST into /vservers/.pkg/$NEWGUEST. Just an
issue of getting some time.
* How to create the mark file and hash ( vhasify ) directory.
I believe the skeleton method does the rest of the creation/building
just fine.
What would be really great is a clone method that allowed you to specify
which guest to use as the donor.
HTH ( or at least gets you heading in a good direction ),
