Hi, I'am trying to clone some servers with RAID hardware the problem is that when I run this command :
/opt/drbl/sbin/drbl-ocs -b -q -j2 -p poweroff -z1 -i 500 -l fr_FR.UTF-8 startdisk save MyServ cciss/c0d0
I have got an error message which tells me that the disk not exist
Could you tell me if you have got a clue or something that will help me ??
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Clonezilla will try to map cciss RAID device as /dev/sdx, e.g. /dev/sda. Therefore you have to use the mapping device name, not cciss/c0d0.
If you are sure there is only one hard drive on your client, the device mapped name must be /dev/sda. Therefore your command on Clonezilla SE server should like:
When I run cat /proc/partitions I only see cciss/c0d0 device
There is txo hard disk but they are in RAID 1
And when I run df or something else I do not see any sda or sdb ...
I dont know if there is an incompability with the raid or something else ...
Is anyone having the same problem ?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
No matter on Clonezilla SE or Clonezilla live, this command:
/opt/drbl/sbin/create-cciss-mapping
will be run when Clonezilla detects cciss device.
Therefore if you kernel does support that, I think it should be OK.
Could you please boot your client into DRBL client, and run the following as root:
1. /opt/drbl/sbin/create-cciss-mapping
2. ls -alFh /dev/sd*
Please post the results.
Steven.

I have tried your command on my client and when he boot on clonezilla (I have to go on command line since he did not reconize the disk)
And I get the following message no drivers cciss detected program terminated ! (or something similar)
So ls -alFh /dev/sd* give me a : no such files or directory
So I tryed this command on my drbl server beacause He also has got CCISS drive and c0d0 in his /cat/partitions
And the command works fine because he created link to cciss/c0d0 ->sda , cciss/c0d0p1 -> sda1, cciss/c0d0p2 -> sda2
I do not know why the cciss drivers are not detected.
I am using for my DRBL server a RedHat 4 Update 7 i686 with DRBL offline installation.
If You ve got some clued that it mighted be helpfull, I would appreciate them.
Sincerly

So you mean there is CCISS RAID card on the client, but Clonezilla does not able to create the mapping device files ?
If so, could you please login into client, run the following command as root:
ls -alF /dev/cciss/c?d?*
Please post the results.

The mapped device files are linked in /dev/, not in /proc/partitions. Therefore you have to check:
ls -alFh /dev/sd*
after Clonezilla is run.

I run this command after booting via pxe and it returns a message no shuch files or directory ...
I am really confused with that kind of error
I saw this thread about RAID and SCSI drive
http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4371521
But it is for clonezilla live, Is drbl using the utility which map cciss drives ???
