Imaging Linux

[ghilliard]

Hi Guys,

I'm presenting the "Open for Training Seminar", in the instructor setup,
when partioning the disks, it mentions changing the designation to "Device
Name" to avoid problems when imaging to different Hard Drives. However it
makes no mention of the fact that XEN wants to bridge to eth0, and if,
after the image there is no eth0 it becomes a communication problem. The
answer is detailed in the following link:

So before imaging, do the following:

3. Remove all ethernet configuration files:

rm /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth*

5. Remove the persistent mappings for network devices by
editing /etc/udev/rules.d/30-net_persistent_names.rules
- At the bottom of the file, you will see lines such as the following:

SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{address}=="00:00:00:b0:fa:08",
IMPORT="/lib/udev/rename_netiface %k eth0"

- Delete all of those lines that start with SUBSYSTEM

I think this should be added whenever a course setup involves imaging and
XEN
