Re: [SLE] Cloning a Suse 10 Partition & Ethernet problems

Really?? You mean I will have to reconfigure each node by hand? that's a pain! I hope any other alternative exists... Thanks any way Sunny, I'll continue looking for info, and please, if any one knows about this, will be appreciated :) Sunny wrote:

Hi! I'm trying to clone a Suse 10 partition to various nodes in a cluster, but I have a problem with the network interfaces. The installation I need to clone has one eth interface, which gets the ip by dhcp. The original node works great, but when I try to boot the cloned nodes, they seem to look for the original eth interface, with a specific MAC. Does any body know if SuSe links each interface configuration with it's MAC, o something like that? Or what's the problem?

Thanks in advance, Ignacio.

Yes, it does. Look at /etc/sysconfig/network. You'll see there that the script files which bring up/down interfaces are tied to the mac address.

so, most probably you'll need to reconfigure the network cards on every node.
