Anyone got a checklist of config files to modify on new ignited server

[I J Clifford]

Hi all - just wondered if anyone knows of a document checklist to go through before going live on a duplicated (ignited) server.

Ignite can handle the IP/LV/VG/hostname etc but in the real world there are extra files which will probably require modification before allowing the newly built server to go on the lan, eg /etc/nsswitch.conf /etc/hosts /etc/group samba config etc etc etc.

Anyone who has any document on these lines would be a good starting block for me, I'll obviously expand to include site/server specific requirements.

Cheers - IJC

I just cloned a system last week. This is what I did:

The clone process does not mirror
* made a bootable disk
* mirrored vg00
* ran setboot to set primary and alternate drives
* modified cron jobs that were system specific
* verfied apps (sudo, gcc, zip) that were in vg00
* had developers check apps for hard coded system names (found one)

Hi,

You could try "set_parms initial" after the final reboot and it will walk you through all questions asked on a typical fresh install of a server.
