Why ignite let some changes in new server?
Hi there !!!

I was install 3 servers (all rx6600, all have the same configuration), first I do was configure one server and generate an ignite tape.

With this tape, install the other two servers; but when i compare the results between them and I found some issues... see the file please.

The server is running OK but, Is there any chance that this installation fail? Why does this changes appear???

Thank You !!

Ignite isn't creating exact clones; otherwise, you would have identical hostnames, IP addresses, disk devices, ...

but rather you are creating logical clones that are almost identical. One of the possible differences is slightly different disks in the 3 boxes so that the number of available sectors is slightly different. Also the i/o and peripheral cards may be different or located in different slots so that not everything is an exact match.

There is also a fair amount of discovery that Ignite must do while probing hardware so the order in which temporary files are created and removed varies and this can leave differences in the sizes of directories.

Relax, you are fine.
