cloning without drbl dhcp server and only by client mac

    I'm working in an larger environment (>100 pc and > 20 switch) with a mandatory dhcp server and mandatory non-fixed ip's. I do have a working clonezilla "image" to distribute, but it is only working with clonzilla live and a direct connection via a table top switch.

    As a first step after configuration I tried to run dcs -h "00:21:..." (I used only one mac). The configuation (drbl-ocs -b -h "00:21:...." -l en_US.UTF-8 -y1 -p true select_in_client) did not lead to any result. I got no result on the client and the following error:
    "00:21:..." is not a suitable IP_LIST!!! Program terminated!!!

    I would like to distribute this image from a central clonzilla server. drbl should install to clients with given mac-addresses.

    As a first debug step I tried to run dcs -h "00:21:..." only with option "Wake-on-LAN". But it is not working! etherwake 00:21:... on the other hand works like expected.

    How do I get this running or at least a step further?? Thank you!
    I'm working since days on this problem and tried to read through many forum posts here and other where.

    "mandatory non-fixed ip's" -> So there is no any MAC addresses in your DHCP config file (e.g. /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf)?
