Usage
First make sure that your SALI installation works. We now give a brief tutorial howto clone a node and make a simple installation script.
For cloning a node and generation of configurations files SALI is still dependend on:
SALI uses the same concepts as systemimager. To get familiar with terms and concepts you can read the system imager manual:
Server
SARA has written a replacement for systemimager server tools. This software is in use at the SARA site since early 2011. It supports the rsync and bittorent installation protocol:
- SALI server source
- SALI server installation instructions
- [SaliServerUsage How to use the SALI server suite]
An other alternative is to install the systemimager server tools:
- systemimager-server
Client
On the client node the following packages are required:
- systemimager-client
- systemconfigurator
The software is required to clone a node and for generation of configuration files (SALI post-install scripts).
Cloning
Login on the node you want to clone and use si_prepareclient, eg:
ssh gb-r6n1 gb-r6n1.irc.sara.nl:/root root# si_prepareclient -y -server install -no-uyok Using "parted" to gather information about disk: /dev/sda Use of uninitialized value $v1 in split at /usr/lib/systemimager/perl/SystemImager/Common.pm line 199.

Starting or re-starting rsync as a daemon..... done! This client is ready to have its image retrieved. You must now run the "si_getimage" command on your imageserver. Automatically create configuration file for systemconfigurator: >> /etc/systemconfig/systemconfig.conf
Login on your SALI installation server and run:
si_getimage -golden-client gb-r6n1 -image test_image
