Hello all,
I use drbl as an operating system to boot and launch clonezilla from. I used Clonezilla Live to create my image. I use disk to image, with a specific machine I have labeled as PXE. I use a 1TB drive that I partition to 400G where the image is told to save. After the image saves and does the check to make sure that it is okay, I launch clonezilla server. Now, I have drbl and clonezilla act as my DHCP to handout address and it is not MAC listed, just who ever connects gets the address(I do this inside of a closed network). Now first, I'll tell you that the machines I am trying to PXE boot have a 500G hard drive in them, that is why I partition the 1TB to 400G. When i setup Clonezilla server, I tell it to restore disk-part. This time around though, I got a hard drive is not detected error. Is there a better way I should be doing this? This has been done successfully in the past, unfortunately I was not around during that time and was never really taught how to use Clonezilla, I have been feeling my way around. The image I create and the environment I am in is very loose, I just use the image for one night for 72 machines(we host a LAN event). Is there a better way I should go about this? Any help is appreciated.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
"a hard drive is not detected error." -> Try this mode: http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-SE/use_clonezilla_live_in_drbl.php
and use Clonezilla live 20121108-quantal as client's OS.
As for using muticast, I believe it's straightforward after you setup the DRBL server.
Just run "/opt/drbl/sbin/dcs" to start the Clonezilla mode, and follow the wizard you should be able to start multicast restoring.
Steven.
