Hi!
Done. It works! There are a few caveats.
I only had a partial test today..thanks to a error (human)..but certainly there seems to be nothing that should prevent B>A transfer.
Only A>B was done today.
1. I'm working on a problem from within networking. The system always changes the subnet mask to a invalid one..and networking does not work on reboot.
2. Commands:
/usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt
/scripts/updatedomainips
/etc/init.d/cpanel restart
I'm not sure the last two were totally necessary..but felt they were a good move anywho.
The template was 850MB, btw.
>>I tired. More tomoorroe.
>>>>Alright. Test #2 Server B>A is underway. I was also able to confirm normal templates created with hypervm do indeed work on vps servers without hypervm.
I can't test cpanel with that..due to the limit of cpanel licenses...yet.
Hi!
Stage two complete. Cpanel setup on server 2 and moved to server 1..no problems.
There is something I left out for the new people doing this..make sure you change out the ips in etc/resolv.conf to reflect the needed local nameservers as well as:
service named stop
service named start
then run the other commands above^^^
and you are good to go.
I may or may not do the 64bit stuff...depending on response, I guess.
I guess the next thing to do is to bother the fantastico folks for a trial license as well.
You'll always have changes to make after an image restore, whether from a database system or as a postscript (the usual and best option).
One hint - I've found storing images and distributing (using the methods I use) are better from a windows server, don't ask.
But using this I can restore a group of 50 servers, or desktops/laptops, (more wouldn't be an issue) with a 2.5G image in 4 minutes 36 seconds on a 100Mb LAN (so if you have a rack and a PVC for it that's how quick it goes from fresh), then the postscripts take about 30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on hardware including the reboot. (example given was for an HMRC job)
I have much to learn about linux networking, I do.
>>Windows is no problem. Almost all my servers are multi-boot now.
Ok..so maybe I did get a tad carried away with Betsy:
2008 Enterprise Trial
2003 Standard 64bit Licensed
2003 Ent 64bit trial normal setup
2003 Ent 64bit trial Virtual Server 2005(8)?
Centos 4.6 64bit
Centos 5.2 64bit
Solaris 10
I quite like Solaris. I had everything else..so I figured..hey..why not?
I started with just OpenSolaris..then got Solaris 10 for free as well. I started out with it just on Vmware..since 2005(8?) fibbed about solaris support.
I then decided to add it to Betsy..just to see if there was truly a limit of how many you could have in the mix. There is no limit.
The only two virtualization solutions I have yet to add are Xen and VirtualIron..I believe. I am quite pleased with Hyper-V as well.
>>Now that gogrid has a API..I'm sure I'll have to take a look at that as well.
