    Hello,

    I am trying to do a disk to remote disk clone and each time I try, I get the same error right after I choose skip checking.
    The last 4 lines read as follows:
    This is for source machine.
    Lsblk: /dev/cciss/cd: not a block device
    Unknown partition table format from file /tmp/ocs_onthefly_src.J2S1Uu/src-pt.parted!
    Program terminated!!

    This is my first time using clonezilla and I haven’t been able to find any related information online.
    Any ideas of what I’m missing?

    Thank you.

    I think you use any server according to
    http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11473_div/11473_div.HTML
    HP ProLiant DL380 Generation 3 (G3):

    with
    -USB 1.1 only
    -CD drive (24x)

    In your case I would take the Clonezilla CD (faster)
    but start with a USB memory stick (look for the BIOS).

    Then you can better adapted the start conditions in the
    /syslinux/syslinux.cfg (or /EFI/boot/grub.cfg).

    kernel /live1/vmlinuz
    append initrd=/live1/initrd.img boot=live ... bootfrom=/dev/cdrom

    The memory stick with:
    (EFI)
    (EFI-imgs)
    home
    live1 (with 'initrd.img' and 'vmlinuz' )
    syslinux
    utils (make it bootable with unetbootin or tuxboot, ..)
    ldlinux.sys

    With the right Clonezilla version
    and similar commands:
    device to device
    expert mode
    disk to remote disk
    eth0
    DHCP
    you can get a clone.

    Good luck !

      Hi Fuchs. Thanks for the reply. I apologize but I don't understand the steps you've outlined. I am new to Clonezilla and I don't have any experience with linux.

    So the issue is on cciss disk to remote cciss disk?

    Steven.

    Sorry for the long delay. That is correct Steven.

    OK, now "disk to remote disk" for cciss disk does not work. Thanks for reporting. We will implement this in the future. Now I suggest you take an image first, then restore the image on the remote disk.

    Steven.
