clonezillalive Cookbook

Deploy Clonezilla-Live for network-booting.

Clonezilla then allows to save and restore images of hard-disks.

If the image is for windows and prepared for example with sysprep, it can be used to install several machines over and over again.

Requirements

The development of this cookbook happens on debian wheezy (7.1), which makes this the supported platform.

cookbooks

• tftp: For the booting
• nfs: For the image store

Attributes

node['clonezilla']['serverip'] = nil

If the server is reachable via two (or more) interfaces, use the given address for the clients to boot from. If not given, node['ipaddress'] is used.

Usage

clonezillalive::default

This recipe does nothing. Its there to play it safe if I want to add providers and resources to this cookbook.

clonezillalive::server

This recipe grabs the clonezilla live image and unpacks the files needed for network-boot. Then it installs tftp and syslinux and configures pxe-booting for the clonezilla image.
