[root@qiuri ~]# si_prepareclient --server 172.16.0.10 Welcome to the SystemImager si_prepareclient command. This command may modify the following files to prepare your golden client for having it's image retrieved by the imageserver. It will also create the /etc/systemimager directory and fill it with information about your golden client. All modified files will be backed up with the .before_systemimager-4.1.6 extension. /etc/services: This file defines the port numbers used by certain software on your system. Entries for rsync will be added if necessary. /tmp/fileO0rkKZ: This is a temporary configuration file that rsync needs on your golden client in order to make your filesystem available to your SystemImager server. inetd configuration: SystemImager needs to run rsync as a standalone daemon on your golden client until it's image is retrieved by your SystemImager server. If rsyncd is configured to run as a service started by inetd, it will be temporarily disabled, and any running rsync daemons or commands will be stopped. Then, an rsync daemon will be started using the temporary configuration file mentioned above. See "si_prepareclient --help" for command line options. Continue? (y/[n]): y #輸入「y」,繼續. *********************************** WARNING *********************************** This utility starts an rsync daemon that makes all of your files accessible by anyone who can connect to the rsync port of this machine. This is the case until you reboot, or kill the 'rsync --daemon' process by hand. By default, once you use si_getimage to retrieve this image on your imageserver, these contents will become accessible to anyone who can connect to the rsync port on your imageserver. See rsyncd.conf(5) for details on restricting access to these files on the imageserver. See the systemimager-ssh package for a more secure method of making images available to clients. *********************************** WARNING *********************************** Continue?

[root@localhost ~]# si_getimage --golden-client 172.16.0.2 -image vfast_backup --post-install reboot -directory /systemimager/ This program will get the "vfast_backup" system image from "172.16.0.2" making the assumption that all filesystems considered part of the system image are using ext2, ext3, jfs, FAT, reiserfs, or xfs. This program will not get /proc, NFS, or other filesystems not mentioned above. *********************************** WARNING *********************************** All files retrieved from a golden client are, by default, made accessible to anyone who can connect to the rsync port of this machine. See rsyncd.conf(5) for details on restricting access to these files on the imageserver.

There are three ways to assign IP addresses to the client systems on an ongoing basis: 1) DHCP ---------------------------------------------------------------- A DHCP server will assign IP addresses to clients installed with this image. They may be assigned a different address each time. If you want to use DHCP, but must ensure that your clients receive the same IP address each time, see "man si_mkdhcpstatic". 2) STATIC ---------------------------------------------------------------- The IP address the client uses during autoinstall will be permanently assigned to that client. 3) REPLICANT ---------------------------------------------------------------- Don't mess with the network settings in this image. I'm using it as a backup and quick restore mechanism for a single machine. Which method do you prefer? [1]: #直接回車You have chosen method 1 for assigning IP addresses.接下來,讓我們確認配置以及馬上配置si_clusterconfig命令,直接回車即可.到此,整個黃金客戶端鏡像製作完成.可以到存儲鏡像的目錄查看創建好的鏡像.
Are you satisfied? ([y]/n): Would you like to run the "si_clusterconfig" utility now? (y/[n]):文章上半部分完成,查看整篇文章請看（下）
