Clonezilla Server:

Clonezilla installation needs a machine with Linux installed on it.

Linux 12.4 LTS Server.

Once the machine is configured with eth0 and eth1 clonezilla server can !e installed. "elow

are the detailed ste#s to install clonezilla server$

1. %re&configuration$

'n %re&configuration the networ( has to !e configured$

T)#e in the terminal$

*$ sudo nano +etc+networ(+interfaces

,s we can see on the configuration we have two interfaces eth0 and eth1. -th0 is our main

networ( cards '% configuration. /e are going to use this to connect to the we! while eth1 is

another networ( interface which we will use for Clonezilla.

ust remem!er to match eth0s '% configuration with that of )our local networ( and to ma(e

eth1 '% a totall) different su!net from that of eth0.

"elow is the diagram that shows how the networ(s should !e connected !etween Clonezilla

Server and ,utomation "oxes.

Dext 9uestion as(s if )ou would li(e to use a serial console instead of a 8E' so choose BD

,t the third 9uestion again Fust #ress Benter to leave the default server name

The fourth 9uestion as(s to choose which card to use to go to the internet #reviousl) we

chose eth0 as our connection to the we! and eth0$0 as our virtual interface for Clonezilla so

enter Beth0

8/19

Dext 9uestion as(s if )ou want to collect ,C addresses of com#uters to !e clonedG this is

done so that onl) com#uters that are going to !e cloned get assigned an '% from 3"L. '

find this time consuming and unnecessar) since it is easier to turn 3"L off once )ou are

done cloning so that it does not conflict with )our networ(s 3HC% server. 3"L is ver)

eas) to turn on and off with a sim#le short&cut on )our servers des(to#. So we are going to

choose BDB

3o )ou want to let the 3HC% service in 3"L server offer same '% address to the client

ever) time when client !oots ='f )ou want this function )ou have to collect the ,C

addresses of clients and save them in file=s? =as in the #revious #rocedure??. This is for the

clients connected to 3"L servers ethernet networ( interface eth0$0 I

Select Y

O:J %lease tell me the file name which contains the ,C address of clients line !) line foreth0$0.

'n this ste# we can s#ecif) the location of the file which contains the ,C addresses. 8ive

the exact location of the file K-x 'n our s)stem our file is etcdr!lmacadrMeth0$1.txtN

/hat is the initial num!er do )ou want to use in the last set of digits in the '% =i.e. the initial

value of d in the '% address a.!.c.d? for 3"L clients connected to this ethernet #ort eth0$0.

10. This will !e the starting '% address of )our 3HC% range.

The file name )ou set is Bmacadr&eth0$1.txt.

The clients num!er in this file is 1.

/e will set the '% address for the clients connected to 3"L servers ethernet networ(

interface eth0$0 ") the ,C address file )ou set the '% addresses for the clients connected
