= Notes from experience =<br />
* Do a couple of test restores. <br />
* On Windows boxes you may need to do a boot repair after a clonezilla restore. Not a big deal, but scary at first when the box doesn't boot after a restore.<br />
* When some RHEL/CentOS boxes restore to a different hard drive, it may end up horribly broken because the GUID/UUID of the HDD device changed, which required a rebuild instead of a restore. <br />
* YMMV, and test, test, test.<br />

=== VMHOST2 ===<br />
<br />
If you rebuild '''VMHOST2''' then you may need to configure GRUB2 so that it uses <code>GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden</code>.<br />
<br />
To do this, as root add <code>GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden</code> to <code>/etc/default/grub</code>, then run <code>update-grub</code>.<br />
<br />
Otherwise the system may appear to wait indefinitely at the GRUB prompt for no reason.

We host a weekly team meeting on [https://www.meetup.com/LongmontHackerSpace/events/npjjrlyvqbrb/ Tuesday nights at 8PM ] This is a good time to meet some of the members who handle the care and feeding. It is also a good place to verbalize requests. We keep a running lists of the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1b7M2eJimVLRel0Wp-BjuGMjQ4u3bvk9Qoz0pXdqlqo8/edit#gid=0 TODO's ] where tinkermill.org members have update access. '''Operating 100% on volunteerism''' we are always looking for those interested in helping out. Whether you're interested in software development, system administration or network configuration.<br />
<br />
If you can't make the weekly meeting you can reach us on slack [https://tinkermill.slack.com/messages/network/ #network ] channel<br />

=== Clonezilla Backups ===<br />
<br />
Some notes from experience:<br />
* Do a couple of test restores. <br />
* On Windows boxes you may need to do a boot repair on after a clonezilla restore. Not a big deal, but scary at first when the box doesn't boot after a restore.<br />
* When some RHEL/CentOS boxes restore to a different hard drive, it may end up horribly broken because the GUID/UUID of the HDD device changed, which required a rebuild instead of a restore. <br />
* YMMV, and test, test, test.<br />
<br />
Procedure:<br />
# Boot from Clonezilla USB or disc (you may need to enable or select in BIOS/Boot screen)<br />
# At the boot screen, select the default "Clonezilla live (Default settings, VGA 800x600)" boot mode.<br />
# At the "Choose language" screen, select the default "en_US.UTF-8 English" language.<br />
# At the "Configuring console-data" screen, select the default "Don't touch keymap" policy.<br />
# At the "Start Clonezilla" screen, select the default "Start_Clonezilla" mode.<br />
# At the first "Clonezilla - Opensource Clone System (OCS)" screen, select the default "device-image" mode.<br />
# '''At the "Mount Clonezilla image directory" screen, select the "nfs_server" mode.'''<br />
# At the "Network config" screen, select the default "dhcp" mode.<br />
# '''At the "NFS version" screen, select the "nfs4 NFS v4" version.'''<br />
# '''At the first "Mount NFS server" screen, enter "10.2.0.18" for the IP address.'''<br />
# At the second "Mount NFS server" screen, select the default "/partimag/" directory.<br />
# At the Press "Enter" to continue prompt, press Enter.<br />
# At the second "Clonezilla - Opensource Clone System (OCS)" screen, select the default "Beginner" mode.<br />
# At the "Clonezilla - Opensource Clone System (OCS): Select mode" screen, select the default "savedisk" mode.<br />
# '''At the first "Clonezilla - Opensource Clone System (OCS) | Mode: savedisk" screen, append the hostname to the image name. Ex: -bigroompublicpc'''<br />
# '''At the second "Clonezilla - Opensource Clone System (OCS) | Mode: savedisk" screen, select all disks.'''<br />
# At the first "Clonezilla advanced extra parameters | Mode: savedisk" screen, select the default "-sfsck" option.<br />
# At the second "Clonezilla advanced extra parameters | Mode: savedisk" screen, select the default "Yes, check the saved image" option.<br />
# At the third "Clonezilla advanced extra parameters | Mode: savedisk" screen, select the default "-senc" option.<br />
# At the "Mode: savedisk" screen, select the default "-p choose" action.<br />
# At the Press "Enter" to continue prompt, press Enter.<br />
# '''At the "Are you sure you want to continue (y/n)" prompt, select y.'''<br />
# Monitor the "Partclone" process for each disk.<br />
# At the Press "Enter" to continue prompt, press Enter.<br />
# '''At the "Choose mode" screen, select the "reboot" mode.'''<br />
# '''At the "Please remove the live-medium" prompt, remove the boot media and then press Enter.'''<br />

=== VMHOST2 ===<br />
<br />
If you rebuild '''VMHOST2''' then you may need to configure GRUB2 so that it uses <code>GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden</code>.<br />
<br />
To do this, as root add <code>GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden</code> to <code>/etc/default/grub</code>, then run <code>update-grub</code>.<br />
<br />
Otherwise the system may appear to wait indefinitely at the GRUB prompt for no reason. We think this may be due to the system thinking it sees key presses.</div>Ksohttps://wiki.tinkermill.org/index.php?title=IT_Infrastructure&diff=1433IT Infrastructure2017-10-02T20:19:22Z<p>Kso: /* Notes */</p>
