My aim is to clone this 9.3 machine. Starting with an empty profile looks kinda hard to me since I need to use LVM. Yast tells me:
"For LVM and RAID setup, consult the documentation and add the configuration to an existing control file."
Is the documentation mentioned the one located in /usr/share/doc/packages?
/usr/share/doc/packages/autoyast2/html/ or http://yast.suse.com/autoinstall/ref.html LVM is documented there too. Unfortunatly I don't have any experiences with that topic but maybe someone else here.
error :
No declaration for attribute type of element device_map
^ What was wrong? I don't know. It might help to see the profile.xml. Can you post it?
Where should it be located?
that's your xml file for the configuration. That's the profile. Some people call it control.xml or control file but since there is a real control.xml on each SUSE Linux CD which has nothing to do with autoyast, I call it autoyast profile to prevent confusion (well, which did not work out in this case ;) ).
thank you, that's a bug. I fixed that and you can download new RPMs from
here:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/ug/RPMs/9.3/autoyast/
buy the way, the RPMs are not there yet. I hope to get them on the ftp today but I can't promise.
Is there a way to tell yast to create a xml file on installation time, like kickstart?
I don't know kickstart but wouldn't that be the "reference profile" from the autoyast UI?
That's right. Older RedHat installations (I think fedora still do) generated a kickstart file after installation. The machine can then be cloned using this file easily.
I don't think there is such a mechanism to do it automtically. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nürnberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de
