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( card.s '% configuration. /e are going to use this to connect to the we! while eth1 is another networ( interface which we will use for Clonezilla. 0ust remem!er to match eth01s '% 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.

Select BDC in the next 9uestion. ;ou do not want 34"L to u#grade )our o#erating s)stem. Dext 34"L will !egin downloading and installing all its de#endencies.

Select the Linux :ernel =2?

,fter 34"L finishes downloading and installing all its de#endencies we are done installing 34"L. 4. Configure Clonezilla$ $

,t the second 9uestion again Fust #ress BenterC to leave the default domain name.

,t the third 9uestion again Fust #ress BenterC 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 Beth0C &

Dext 9uestion as(s if )ou want to collect 2,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 34"L. ' find this time consuming and unnecessar) since it is easier to turn 34"L off once )ou are done cloning so that it does not conflict with )our networ(.s 3HC% server. 34"L is ver) eas) to turn on and off with a sim#le short&cut on )our server.s des(to#. So we are going to choose BDB

'

3o )ou want to let the 3HC% service in 34"L server offer same '% address to the client ever) time when client !oots ='f )ou want this function )ou have to collect the 2,C addresses of clients and save them in file=s? =as in the #revious #rocedure??. This is for the clients connected to 34"L server.s ethernet networ( interface eth0$0 I Select Y O:J %lease tell me the file name which contains the 2,C address of clients line !) line for eth0$0. 'n this ste# we can s#ecif) the location of the file which contains the 2,C addresses. 8ive the exact location of the file K-x 'n our s)stem our file is LetcLdr!lLmacadrMeth0$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 34"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.txtC. The clients num!er in this file is 1. /e will set the '% address for the clients connected to 34"L server.s ethernet networ( interface eth0$0 ") the 2,C address file )ou set the '% addresses for the clients connected (

Clonezilla will then as( )ou if )ou want to have the o#tion of !ooting com#uter to Linux using the networ(. we are just setting the server for cloning so choose option 2.

Choose Clonezilla !ox mode o#tion B1B. This wa) the whole cloning o#eration will !e lighter on the server.

Dext 9uestion as(s what will !e the default director) where )ou want to store )our images. To me the default B+home+#artimagC is not intuitive so ' change it to B+clonezillaC so it can !e easil) accessi!le in the file&s)stem. "ut this is u# to )ouG Fust remem!er that if )ou decide to change it ma(e sure )ou create the new folder manuall) since the setu# will not do it for )ou.

Enless )ou want to !e anno)ed with a #assword #rom#t ever) time )ou want to clone a com#uter or )ou are a securit) frea( choose BDC in the next 9uestion.

Choose BDC at the next 9uestion as well )ou do not need a !oot #rom#t for clients.

' recommend )ou choose B;C in the next 9uestion.
