Dear All Further to my previous email, I've done a bit more digging and it appears I have two problems. I intend to address these separately.
PROBLEM 2 In order to overcome the problem I described in my previous email, eg solve the problem whereby the machines cloned from the golden client ended up with the same network config as the golden client, I tried to add some overrides to the image server. For each machine there is a folder structure as follows <machine name> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts containing the following files: ifcfg-eth0, ifcfg-eth1, ifcfg-bond0. In addition there are two sets of overrides <server type>/etc/init.d/network, where <server type> is one of RealServer or Director (these servers are intended to form part of a Linux Virtual Server). The network script for the Directors has been amended to hide the relevent interfaces. I have tried installing one server that'd be classed as a real server and one that'd be classed as a director. After both installs the servers when the machine reboots it has no hostname set (at all - not even localhost) and no network interfaces configured. Everything seems to have copied across from the image server, including the overrides and the /etc/sysconfig/network file contains the correct host name. I have tried reinstalling the servers (this time using pxe boot) and get the same error While trying to figure the problem out I have discovered the following problems: 1. /etc/init.d created as directory not link to /etc/rc.d/init.d - hence no networking 2. nothing installed in /boot - but server still reboots? Also the main file system is mounted RO. Any ideas what I may have done wrong?
