Setting up a Clonezilla/DRBL server on Ubuntu 7.04
Requirements:
A PC with ample Hard drive space and RAM (my own guesses are at least 40gb and 512mb to 1gb RAM or more) At LEAST two network cards. You can use more to segment the bandwidth, but at least two are necessary
First set up an Ubuntu machine...I used a standard Ubuntu workstation install. Update it.
Add the repositories for DRBL by editing the /etc/apt/sources.list file
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
and insert the following 2 lines at the bottom
deb http://free.nchc.org.tw/ubuntu feisty main restricted universe multiverse deb http://free.nchc.org.tw/drbl-core drbl stable
Next you need to grab the keys...use the following commands
sudo wget http://drbl.nchc.org.tw/GPG-KEY-DRBL sudo apt-key add GPG-KEY-DRBL
Now let's update and install
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install drbl
Now it's time to run the setup program!
You really should do this from the server itself (as opposed to via ssh)...don't ask why, but the server complains sometimes and even advises you to run it locally.
This is an interactive set up script. After running this (and YES...it MUST be connect to the internet to work as it will use "apt-get" to download more packages)
sudo /opt/drbl/sbin/drblsrv -i
Afterwards, you'll need to run this command (also from the server)
sudo /opt/drbl/sbin/drblpush -i
This will walk you through setting up the diskless boot for your clients...especially for Clonezilla.
Advice: When it asks if you want to install Linux images...say no....you'll just do Clonezilla. Once everything is done and ready....you'll need to run
sudo /opt/drbl/sbin/dcs
or
sudo ./dcs (from that directory)
This will run a script to let you configure the PXE boot process. If using Clonezilla....select "Clonezilla start"
