Golden image problem

[wurzul]

Dear All,

Problem when Golden-Imaging server:

Image is called 2005-11-24,14:25 as I have temporarily replaced my existing image. I've re-created image, checked permissions checked NFS exports, re-exported NFS exports, rebooted ignite server..... There is no directory called archive_nfs on the ignite server but this /tmp path is not even defined within the configs anyway. I'm lost - can anybody please advise?

Shalom,

Try giving the golden image a normal name like goldenimage.tz

Then adjust your configuration files to this new reality. Golden images usually have normal names, its make_net_recovery images that have unusual names like that.

Also, using /tmp as an NFS share may be problematic and cause problems since applications need full read-write access for all users and that may not be the best permission setup for other purposes.

I renamed the archive and it seems to have worked (its now pulling the image across as we speak)with no nasty errors - Excellent, Thanks guys.
