Drbl and CloneZilla

Rate this Message:
Hello,
We've been playing with DRBL quite a bit and are having some troubles. We already have a DHCP server on our network we don't want to mess with. Basically what are trying to is use this for a cloning server. Any machine in the subnet if booted via pxe will boot off this server and into the clonezilla front end. Getting this to work has proven nearly impossible. I think the biggest problem is drbl doesn't want to boot machines it doesn't know about. There seems to be a lot of settings where it must know the hostname of the client, or the mac address. Can anyone point me into the right direction to get this working? We just want to boot em and clone em. Rounding up mac addresses isn't an option as we have over 1000 machines in this subnet alone.

Hi Jamie,
It's not a must to collect mac addresses of clients. In your case, just say no when drblpush asks you if you want to provide static IP address to client. As for 2 DHCP servers coexist problem, did you check FAQ: http://drbl.sourceforge.net/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/37_coexist_with_existing_dhcp.faq#37_coexist_with_existing_dhcp.faq ? Steven.

We're on a class B subnet. So our range is 172.16.0.1 - 172.16.31.254 When a machine boots it usually get's it's old IP address. For some reason drbl wants to build some sort of PXE image for each host. It will only let me do 172.16.0.1 - 172.16.0.254 It builds all of those but then if i boot a client and it gets the IP address of 172.16.21.11 and then doesn't work.

Jamie,
Actually you can do the following to make it: 1. When run drblpush, select DRBL SSI mode and Clonezilla box mode, or: /opt/drbl/sbin/drblpush -i -r 1 -z 1 (Then accept all the default values) 2. After (1), modify /etc/dhcpd.conf (or /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf) as: subnet 172.16.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 { option subnet-mask 255.255.0.0; option routers 172.16.0.2; next-server 172.16.0.2; pool { # allow members of "DRBL-Client"; range 172.16.0.1 172.16.31.254; } } 3. modify /etc/exports, append the following: /tftpboot/node_root 172.16.*.*(ro,sync,async,no_root_squash,subtree_check) /usr 172.16.*.*(ro,sync,async,no_root_squash,subtree_check) /opt 172.16.*.*(ro,sync,async,no_root_squash,subtree_check) /home 172.16.*.*(rw,sync,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) /var/spool/mail 172.16.*.*(rw,sync,async,root_squash,no_subtree_check) 4. /opt/drbl/sbin/drbl-all-service restart That's all. Give it a try, and please let us know your results. Steven.

Hey Steve,
i have dhcp server on Windows 2003 server. I modify according to your suggestion in FAQ. "If you still need to provide floating IP address to your DRBL cient, you can try to use DRBL 1.8.0-15 or newer version. By uncomment the 'allow members of "DRBL-Client";' in /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf, the DHCP service in DRBL server will only provide IP address to PXE, Etherboot or DRBL client. This mechanism won't affect your existing DHCP service. However, you have to make sure all the PXE or Etherboot clients are DRBL clients." but yet when i boot it gets ip from windows 2003 dhcp service. i do get clonezilla front end menu. its just after i choose, "clonezilla save disk" option, from that point it doesnt mount filesystem because it gets a 150.1.1.x ip address instead of a 192.168.x.y. address like it should. any ideas? thanks Steve!

Hi,
There are 2 stages for a client to get the IP address: 1st, it's PXE booting, looks like it's working there. 2nd, the udhcpc in network initramfs, and looks like it failed. Normally when you run "/opt/drbl/sbin/drblsrv -i", mknic-nbi will create the network initramfs of client and it will force the client to get IP address from DRBL server. This is controlled by a parameter "-c" or "--check-server-name" of mknic-nbi. No idea why it failed. Maybe you can run: sudo /opt/drbl/sbin/mknic-nbi -c y on drbl server again and test it ?
