In looking for a simple and maintainable process to clone guests, I tried the procedure in "vserver in 2 days" redbook.
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/abstracts/sg246695.html?Open I started from a ready VM 5.1 system so I didn't have to install VM. Except for my own mistakes, the process works very well. I do have several questions: 1) I need to support both 31bit and 64bit linux. How do I leverage my current 31bit structure to support 64bit cloning process. 2) What would be a rough procedure to apply service (e.g. a service pack, kernel patch) to a) the controller image b) the golden-image and c) existing cloned machines. 3) Our dasd doesn't support flashcopy, so in the cloning process, the dasdfmt+dd takes about 30 minutes for the combined dasd 102 and 100. Won't a cms DDR do a simultaneous format© and cut the time by half? Thanks for any info.
