Is there a way to automate process to clone a disk with Clonezilla on different hardwares (centOS)? we need to make it easier as possible for the final user, right now the process is quite complex
In preparing a (windows 7) machine for cloning, does one need to run it in audit mode before installing/customising? I have a customised machine I would like to sysprep and clone, without having to re-create in audit mode.
And from where does one run sysprep? Is the command included in the windows distro, or do I need to run it from the AIK, or from a PE environment?
Hello.
We have 10 machine web cluster with approximately 1500 req/seq.
How can we copy/clone all user traffic that comes to this production cluster in order to test new version of software, which is installed on a little bit smaller test cluster?
It should be copy, not load balancing, i.e. real users must receive answer from production cluster, not testing one.
OS: Linux
Thanks.
I've downloaded the 30 day trial version of TextMate and wanted to use a plugin for coffeescript.
The instructions for installing the plugin say to go to this directory
cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles (Textmate 1)
Once I changed into the TextMate directory and started looking for Bundles by doing ls it only showed
TextMate.pid
In other words, no Bundles directory....
Once I was in the Bundles directory, I'm supposed to do
git clone git://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script-tmbundle CoffeeScriptBundle.tmbundle
but didn't want to try that without first being in the Bundles directory.

I need some help getting my rync command syntax working. I need to clone the /home/user/public_html folder on a remote server to the server I am logged into via SSH, copying the folder into the same exact path on this local machine.
I have root on the local machine I'm in session on and a user account shell on the remote machine. I'm not clear on where to put the SSH login info and how to define the folder paths.
Hello, I have successfully setup gitosis on my server thanks to this helpful howto.
Versions:
Server: CentOS 5
Desktop: Windows 7
Git (on Desktop): 1.6.5.1.1367.gcd48
Client: TortoiseGit 1.3.2.0 (with msysgit 1.6.1)
How can I clone a Git repository from my server when my SSH port is non the default (22)?
I believe that the URL ssh://[email protected]:3031/gitosis-admin.git works, but I get:
'/gitosis-admin.git' does not appear
to be a git repository
Thank you.
We want to mirror our current production app server (Oracle Application Server) onto our staging server. As it stands right now, various things are out of sync, and what may work in testing/QA can easily fail in production because of settings/patch/etc inconsistencies. I was thinking what would be best is to clone the entire disk daily and push it onto the staging server... Would this be the best method...? (note: these are all windows servers)
I would like to clone a smaller LVM-formatted disk onto a larger one using dd, and boot that disk in the same machine. Do I need to make any special considerations for LVM?
I just don't know a better way to describe my issue that is driving me nuts.
I am trying to establish a test domain with virtual machines on a box that has Win7 with VMwware workstation installed. The purpouse with this domain will be so that we can try and test different situations before they go into the production network.
I build a VM with WinSrv2008R2 and I am using that VM as a template to make other servers for the domain by making clones of it. Now I raise a DC with one clone and a member server with another clone - I add the server to the domain. I am following a standard procedure as always (it is not my first domain). Then I make an admin account and I am adding the admin to be a member of the Domain and Enterprise Admins group.
That admin is admin with full priviledges on the DC.. no problem there.
But on the other server has ... somewhat half the privileges and I cant log in via RDP. I tryed with another account. Same issues.
For example (with half the privileges): I can't open the Even Viewer if I go via Start - Administrative Tools - Event Viewer. But I can open the Even Viewer via the server manager. You can notice this on the image below. I mean WTF???
I am going crazy, I haven't experienced anything similar in my three years of expertise. I already lost 3 days troubleshooting this. Could this be related with the cloning? Perhaps if I make fresh installs of WinSrv2008 there won't be any problems?
I've had raised test domains as VMs on other occasions before, and there weren't any problems then. This is VMware Workstation 8. I've made clones before, on Workstation 7 it didn't had any problems. Anyone has any ideas?
UPDATE:
This is the info from the event log when I try to access via RDP:
An account failed to log on.

Account Name: -
Account Domain: -
Logon ID: 0x0

What do you find as the best ISO / disk image mounting software out there?
You can give a nod to $$$ alternatives, but I'm looking for the best freeware and support for DVD-size images as well.
EDIT I actually use Virtual Clone Drive regularly, and would recommend that over anything else.
I did the following
git clone from another repo say Release1
made changes to cloned repo
committed changes
pushed changes to both master and Release1
pulled changes from cloned folder in Release1
status/log is showing my changes at both places
The update is not reflected at Release1
What did I miss in the above steps? Both repo are in same server.
We have an ESXi host we use for testing, which results in a ton of VMs being created and copied on a regular basis. We don't have the storage capacity to use thick provisioned VMs on this server, and have been maintaining the copies using VMWare Converter. But using the converter is an incredibly slow operation which copies the entire contents of the VM over the network several times before actually finishing the copy.
Is there a way to simply clone the VM but maintain the thin-provisioning?
I have an SD card with a corrupt filesystem, so wanted to clone it and attempt recovery on the copy (just in case of problems). I was thinking that dd-ing it Linux would be a sensible way to go, but don't really want to experiment in this situation. So if anyone has done this before then it would be good to know the exact approach that works.
In case it helps, I have Ubuntu, OSX and Windows machines available.
TIA,
Paul.
I am trying to clone a Windows 7 Install from one machine to others, in a computer lab situation. I have used clonezilla to make an image of the machine's harddrive and then attempted to write that image to a second machine's disk. Everything went fine, but when I try to boot Windows 7 on the second machine I get a blue screen flash and then it tries to run the startup repair tool, which runs unsuccessfully. Is there something new with Windows 7 that keeps it from being cloned like this?
I'm kinda confused.
I've installed Xen on a fresh/clean ubuntu 10.10 server (x64) using :
hg clone xen-4.0-testing.hg
make world
make install-kernels
Trying to launch qemu; first "not found"
Then I installed from source (from tarballs at qemu.org)
But then qemu complains about not finding /dev/kvm
Am I missing something here ? I thought that qemu was part of xen install (at least it was from 3.x series). All i have is qemu-img-xen and qemu-nbd-xen.
I'm currently P2Ving over my 2003 exchange server and would like to know the best way to use the synchronization feature? I already P2V'd this server over about 5 times and had great success without any outages of service etc. I would like to set it up where just as it finishes the full clone that it starts synchronizing the change automatically. How and can I set this up and what is the best version? I'm using version 4.0.
Thanks.
I wrote a setup script to install my prefered programs and settings after I got a new server.
apt-get install git
git clone http://[email protected] .vim
ln -s .vimrc .vim/vimrc
...
But if something wrong happens during setup, how can I interrupt the setup script, and log the error(s)? For example, if github server is down, it's obviously useless to create a symbolic link to non-existed vimrc.
(or you have a better approach to initialize a server?)
Is there a script or another way to automatically generate a kickstart configuration file from the system state of an existing server so that the file can be use to replicate (not clone) the configuration of the system in another install?
I know that the anaconda-ks.cfg file is stored on the /root dir. but the system in question have been extensively changed since it's installation, and the file is of no use now.
I have a hdd with windows 7 installed on it. I would like to move (or clone) the whole system to another (in this case smaller) hdd. What is the best and easiest way to do it? Basically I would need some kind of copy operation which would handle the differenct hdd sizes and copy everything including the boot loader. What method do you recommend?
I have strange issue when try git push. Git clone and commit works fine.
W access for my_project DENIED to
deploy_my_project_
My gitolite.conf
repo my_project
R = deploy_my_project_111
RW+ = my_name
I wonder why git push takes wrong user (deploy_project_111) with read access.
This error is float. Twice i had to change rsa key(rsa keys is unchangeble) and restart computer.
May be my computer do something wrong.
Hi
I am thinking about buying a DVI splitter cable online and a DVI- HDMI adapter. Can i use these to clone my monitors output so one can go to my monitor, and the other to my projector?
Can anyone think of any issues with using the adapter like this? Would there be problems with signal lose or anything?
Thanks
Hi there.
