Hello everyone, It has been a while I have asked questions in the forum, hope you all are well.
Got a couple of questions, would greatly appreciate if you can help out with all your collective wisdom. *question #1* We have xcat version 2.15 MN running on centOS 7.7, and I am looking into backup/restore of the setup. Currently I am only using /opt/xcat/sbin/dumpxCATdb to backup the database. I also backup the /install directory of the system. If there anything else I should be backing up in the system? How about /tftpboot , all the DNS information? In case of a total system failure ( of the MN ) , I am thinking about how to bring the system back to its original working state. Also, what is the recommended method of restoring a system like this? I would guess -* a.* build the OS *b.* install base xcat rpms* c.* restore DB backup *d.* may be restore /tftpboot e. restore /install directory ? *question #2* So, we currently have a single network defined to build systems in the MN. I need to be able to build systems from another network. How does one get to do this? I assume I can set up another network in the networks table, create a virtual interface in the MN with that vlan, assign a DHCP scope and do makedhcp? Would that work? Or do I need to do anything else? Any help/reference/guidance is very helpful and appreciated. thanks --imam toufique
