How to setup Clonezilla on Linux (Ubuntu). Quick start guide.

ClonezillaReplace Symantec Ghost Enterprise with Clonezilla.

Since posting my article listing the open source alternatives to Symantec Ghost Enterprise, I have received a lot of questions related to installing and configuring Clonezilla, so I thought it would be a good idea to post a “quick start guide” for installing Clonezilla.

The following applies to setting up a network boot environtment using the PXE capabilities of your network card. If you simply want to image a single machine, then I suggest you use the Clonezilla Live CD. You simply boot your system from the CD, mount a network drive, and save your image to the network. It is the same as using a ghost boot disk in DOS but, without all the network card configuration.

If you are anything like me then you don’t like having to remember what you did with a boot disk and have to image a system a lot more often then a couple of times a year. In that case, follow along to setup a Clonezilla server your clients can use to boot from without the need for a boot disk.

Required:

First, you will need a fresh install of Ubuntu to follow this guide. I am using the latest server release candidate, Ubuntu 8.10 (Hardy), for this guide. If you are using the desktop version of Ubuntu or an early server version, you should be fine. Just make sure to change the required lines when adding the drbl (Diskless remote boot Linux) repositories to your source.list.

Second, you will need too configure two network cards. These can either be physical cards or one can be a virtual one. I am using a virtual interface for the second card.

Below is my /etc/network/interfaces file. You’ll need to edit your file to match. Make sure you change the IP addresses to something that will work on your network.

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.2.201
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.1

auto eth0:0
iface eth0:0 inet static
address 192.168.3.1
netmask 255.255.255.0

Finally, you are going to need a list of the MAC address for each machine you wish to image. By default, Clonezilla installs a DHCP server. We want to lock down which machines can request an IP address from this server so we don’t cause any problems with other machines requesting a DHCP address from the Clonezilla server and receiving the wrong information. This is very important if you are setting up Clonezilla on a production network with an existing DHCP server.

Once you have your two network cards setup you are ready to start installing Clonezilla.

Installing Clonezilla.

The first step is to install the key for the Clonezilla repository. Enter the following in the terminal to download the key:

wget http://drbl.nchc.org.tw/GPG-KEY-DRBL

Second, add the key:

sudo apt-key add GPG-KEY-DRBL

Third, we need to add the Clonezilla repository to the apt source.list file. Enter the following to open /etc/apt/source.list in the nano text editor:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Add the following two lines to the bottom of the file. Make sure to replace “hardy” with the name of the Ubuntu distribution you are using. I.E. gutsy, feisty, edgy….:

deb http://free.nchc.org.tw/ubuntu hardy main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://free.nchc.org.tw/drbl-core drbl stable

Once you have added the Clonezilla repository to your source list, you can run the following two commands to update your list and install drbl:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install drbl

Once drbl is installed we can go ahead and install all the dependencies for Clonezilla. NIS will fail to launch at this point. Just ignore it. We will configure it later.

sudo apt-get install util-linux tar gzip bzip2 procps dialog rsync parted pciutils tcpdump bc grub gawk hdparm sdparm netcat file ethtool etherwake ssh syslinux mtools mkisofs reiserfsprogs e2fsprogs psmisc locales wget disktype zip unzip initscripts dhcp3-server tftpd-hpa nfs-kernel-server nis ntp curl lftp iptables sysutils libdigest-sha1-perl

sudo apt-get install partclone mkpxeinitrd-net clonezilla mkswap-uuid drbl-partimage drbl-ntfsprogs drbl-chntpw drbl-lzop udpcast drbl-etherboot freedos

sudo apt-get install lvm2 ntfs-3g lshw

Once drbl is installed we need to create a file with the MAC address of each system we wish to image. The addresses should be in the following format with one address per line.

sudo nano /etc/drbl/macadr-eth0:0.txt

00:00:00:00:00:00

Next we need to configure the boot image that each PXE client will use:

sudo /opt/drbl/sbin/drblsrv-offline -s `uname -r`

Finally, we need to launch drblpush to configure the environment.

sudo /opt/drbl/sbin/drblpush -i

The drblpush script will ask you a series of questions and then setup your environment for you.

Please enter DNS domain (such as drbl.sf.net):

Enter your domain.

Please enter NIS/YP domain name:

Enter you NIS domain name. If you don’t have a NIS domain you can call it whatever you want.

Please enter the client hostname prefix:
This prefix is used to automatically create hostname for clients. If you want to overwrite some or all automatically created hostnames, press Ctrl-C to quit this program now, edit /opt/drbl/conf/client-ip-hostname, then run this program again.

Enter a hostname prefix.

The public IP address of this server is NOT found.
Which ethernet port in this server is for public Internet accsess, not for DRBL connection ?

eth0

Now we can collect the MAC address of clients!
If you want to let the DHCP service in DRBL server offer same IP address to client every time when client boot, and you never did this procedure, you should do it now!
If you already have those MAC addresses of clients, you can put them into different group files (These files number is the same number of networks cards for DRBL service). In this case, you can skip this step.
This step helps you to record the MAC addresses of clients, then divide them into different groups. It will save your time and reduce the typos.
The MAC addresses will be recorded turn by turn according to the boot of clients,
and they will be put into different files according to the network card in server, file name will be like macadr-eth1.txt, macadr-eth2.txt… You can find them in directory /etc/drbl.
Please boot the clients by order, make sure they boot from etherboot or PXE!
Do you want to collect them ?

n. We already listed them in the /etc/drbl/macadr-eth0:0.txt file.

Do you want to let the DHCP service in DRBL server offer same IP address to the client every time when client boots (If you want this function, you have to collect the MAC addresses of clients, and save them in file(s) (as in the previous procedure)). This is for the clients connected to DRBL server’s ethernet network interface eth0:0 ?

y

OK! Please tell me the file name which contains the MAC address of clients line by line for eth0:0.

macadr-eth0:0.txt

What is the initial number do you want to use in the last set of digits in the IP (i.e. the initial value of d in the IP address a.b.c.d) for DRBL clients connected to this ethernet port eth0:0.

10. This will be the starting IP address of your DHCP range.

The file name you set is “macadr-eth0:0.txt”.
The clients number in this file is 1.
We will set the IP address for the clients connected to DRBL server’s ethernet network interface eth0:0 By the MAC address file you set, the IP addresses for the clients connected to DRBL server’s ethernet network interface eth0:0 as: 192.168.3.10 – 192.168.3.10
Accept?

The Layout for your DRBL environment:
******************************************************
NIC NIC IP Clients
+—————————–+
| DRBL SERVER |
| |
| +– [eth0] 192.168.2.201 +- to WAN
| |
| +– [eth0:0] 192.168.3.1 +- to clients group 0:0 [ 1 clients, their IP
| | from 192.168.3.10 - 192.168.3.10]
+—————————–+
******************************************************
Total clients: 1
******************************************************
Press Enter to continue…

In the system, there are 3 modes for diskless linux services:
[0] Full DRBL mode, every client has its own NFS based /etc and /var.
[1] DRBL SSI (Single system image) mode, every client uses tmpfs based /etc and /var. In this mode, the loading and necessary disk space of server will be lighter. NOTE! (a) The client machine memory is recommended at least 256 MB. (b) The setting and config files of client will not be saved to the DRBL server! They are just used once and will vanish after the machine shutdowns! Besides, if you modify any file in the template client (located in /tftpboot/nodes), you have to run /opt/drbl/sbin/gen_ssi_files to create the template tarball in /tftpboot/node_root/drbl_ssi/. (c) If you want to provide some file to overwrite the setting in the template tarball when client boots, check /tftpboot/node_root/drbl_ssi/clients/00_README for more details.
[2] I do NOT want to provide diskless Linux service to client.
Which mode do you prefer ?

2. We didn’t configure any other option above.

In the system, there are 3 modes available for clonezilla:
[0] Full Clonezilla mode, every client has its own NFS based /etc and /var.
[1] Clonezilla box mode, every client uses tmpfs based /etc and /var. In this mode, the loading and necessary disk space of server will be lighter than that in Full Clonezilla mode. Note! In Clonezilla box mode, the setting and config files of client will not be saved to the DRBL server! They just use once and will vanish after the machine shutdowns!
[2] I do NOT want clonezilla.
Which mode do you prefer ?

1

When using clonezilla, which directory in this server you want to store the saved image (Please use absolute path, and do NOT assign it under /mnt/, /media/ or /tmp/) ?
[/home/partimag]

/home/partimag. You should change this to the location wish to store your images.

Do you want to set the pxelinux password for clients so that when client boots, a password must be entered to startup (For better security)

n

Do you want to set the boot prompt for clients ?

n

Do you want to use graphic background for PXE menu when client boots ?
Note! If you use graphical PXELinux menu, however client fails to boot, you can switch to text mode by running “/opt/drbl/sbin/switch-pxe-bg-mode -m text”.

y

Do you want to let DRBL server as a NAT server ? If not, your DRBL client will NOT be able to access Internet.

n

We are now ready to deploy the files to system!
Do you want to continue ?
Warning! If you go on, your firewall rules will be overwritten during the setup!
The original rules will be backuped as iptables.drblsave in system config directory (/etc/sysconfig or /etc/default).

y

After a minute or so you PXE boot environment should be set up automatically.

The last thing you need to do is start the Clonezilla server.

sudo /opt/drbl/sbin/dcs

On the first screen select All.

On the second screen select clonezilla-start

On the third screen select “select-in-client” so you can choose to backup or restore an image on a client by client basis.

On the last two screens you should select the default values provided.

That’s it. Clonezilla is ready to go.

Now we can move over to the client and see if you can boot it using your newly created DRBL environment.

Go into your BIOS settings and set the first boot device to your network card and reboot.
That’s it. Let the client boot and enjoy.

    This was extremely helpful, it just plain worked. I was dealing with setting up a few different services and somethings were working. Decided to just scrap it all and install Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 then follow this guide. Bam, worked isntantly.

    Tested by backing up and restoring a Windows 2008 Server.

    One thing that might be worth noting is the one-liner output from ‘/opt/drbl/sbin/dcs’ which allows you to startup the Clonezilla server can be put into /etc/rc.local or your own /etc/init.d/ startup script.

    Thanks for the guide.

    Just Wondering, If I want to add another client to the macadr-eth0:0.txt file, do I have to run the setup again, or is there a faster way. Other then that this tutorial was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, for the good work

  4. admin | May 1, 2008 | Reply

    I believe that you have to run the
    sudo /opt/drbl/sbin/drblpush -i
    command to update the DHCP server with the new mac address.

    I guess if you go directly into the DHCP server config then you can just clone the settings to a new entry without having to run through the script again.

    This is a great tutorial. I got the server up and running, but am running into a bit of a problem with the client though. Each and everytime it boots from LAN, PXE, I get a Could not locate boot server error message. It hits the server and everything, I can see the server IP on the client and the Zenworks boot.. but after a while it’ll time out with the same error message each time.

  6. admin | May 11, 2008 | Reply

    I had that problem once and it turned out that I didn’t select “I do NOT want to provide diskless Linux service to client” in the /opt/drbl/sbin/drblpush setup.

    The other thing is this tutorial only works for the clonezilla and free DOS options when you start the server using the dcs command. I stripped out any other linux boot options in the interest of space.

    I really have followed this guide to a tee but unable to get it working. When I boot up the client machine, it goes nuts for a few pages before I get a fatal message. Most of the time it will not get an IP address but now it says successful but then followed by a fatal error: failed to mount root filesystem! I really am going nuts trying to get this to work. Any help greatly appreciated!

    Hi… another problem, but I don’t think it’s clonezilla or drbl-related…

    I have properly set up a clonezilla server at work… but every time I boot a PC on PXE, it summons a Microsoft RIS login screen. And, to my knowledge, there is no RIS server there. Is Clonezilla overriden when a Microsoft RIS is present ?

    Here is the problem i have run into i can run the clonezilla live cd and get images no problem however when i try to use my install of clonezilla on my ubuntu 8.04.1 it does not recognize any of the drivers. I looked at the kernel versions and the version on the live cd i was using is older than the one that i downloaded, is there a fix for that? It also bombs out when i try to deploy an image.

    Hey Mike

    Thanx for good tutorial

    Iam just wondering…

    You said: “I am using the latest server release candidate, Ubuntu 8.10 (Hardy), for this guide.”

    I think that the latest release is 8.10 (codename Intrepid Ibex) and you have used 8.04 (Hardy Heron).

    It could matter because there is a bug in DRBL with ubuntu 8.10:
    http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=5608900

    I was sticking to the LTS release so this information would last longer. Plus Hardy was the newest release at the time I wrote this article.

    Hi, thanks for a great tut. Congrats to you and everyone who got it working. I am running into some problem. I am running 8.04 LTS, server edition and about 40 MS Windows clients. There are four different types of clients including desktops (3 vendors + xp prof) and laptops (3 vendors + xp home/prof). The usage of computers is such that i usually need to reinstall the OSes atleast once in 2 months, meaning i end up wasting 2-3 hours almost everyday on some machine or the other. Clonezilla seems to be the perfect solution when I need to revert these comps back to an initial setting. So, I have been trying to follow your guide, the server sets up all right but with an error – it says something like ‘default display manager not found! we can not set text or graphic mode for debian DRBL client’. When I boot the client through network, it greets me with clonezilla screen, and after a minute or so, drops me at # prompt.

    so,

    -i wonder if the server edition (with no GDM) in console version only is supported, and if not what is the way out.

    -the setup has a huge footprint on hdd, even before a single image is stored on the server. Its as high as 8-10 GB, is that normal.

    - i opted for 70 clients, ant the setup seems to take up for ever in copying /etc/ file to /tftpboot/ etc (perhaps the reason for that high HDD footprint) as against you saying ‘in about a minute’

    - when i boot the client through network, only two options are presented:
    – boot from local hard disk
    – run memtest
    there is no option for clonezilla.

    -finally – am i missing something?

    thanks for your time.

    According to this page http://drbl.sourceforge.net/one4all/ , the DRBL repository to add are these ones :

    If it’s Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10):
    ———-
    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid main restricted universe multiverse # (Or any Ubuntu mirror site near you)
    deb http://drbl.sourceforge.net/drbl-core drbl stable

    With the help of your article, I was able to correctly set up a clonezilla server. Although there is one problem; the pc’s are so new that it cannot find the correct network driver so it will not get an ip. How do I add the correct network driver if there is one? The pc’s are Dell Optiplex 760’s. Thanks for any and all help.

    I am having a similar style problem with the same computer type. I updated to the most recent kernel version and loaded all network devices as modules, i get the kernel to boot but it locks up on usb devices and something else. Follow that forum link if you want to see if i get it worked out.

    I have set up ubuntu purley for the use of ghosting an image onto a load of laptops….other than that it will just sit there and wait for one of the lsptops to go wrong so it can be used again. All ghosting will be done locally. Because of this am i right in thinking that i would not need to change any values on the /etc/network/interfaces file and just leave them all as they are at default? Or am i way off track here?

    As per the steps listed above I have configured clonezilla on a machine running Ubuntu and after that I followed all the steps listed above to image a machine. I configured the clonezilla to save the image under “/home/partimag” directory.

    The below is the snapshot of what I got when I tried to image a machine -

    Now the clonezilla mode is: save-parts
    Setting client as clonezilla-save-parts mode…Your system is already in clonezilla mode… we will stop it first, then change to other mode…
    Setting the TERM as xterm

    Make “clonezilla” as default label in /tftpboot/nbi_img/pxelinux.cfg/default_skeleton.
    The MENU LABEL is “Clonezilla”
    Generate the PXE config file for host 172.16.100.181 … done!
    Setting the TERM as xterm
    *****************************************************.
    *****************************************************.
    start_ocs_service -t saveparts -o 2009-06-01-17-img sda1
    clonezilla.lock dir: /var/lock/clonezilla
    Warning!!! “range” option is found in dhcpd.conf, this is not a good way to operate Clonezilla… It is better to let your DRBL client acquire same IP address by setting MAC address in dhcpd.conf so that you will NOT overwrite the OS of some unknown machines.
    Press “Enter” to continue……
    Setting the PXE clients to DRBL mode with label “Clonezilla: save partitions sda1 as image 2009-06-01-17-img”…
    Turn off all MENU DEFAULT in /tftpboot/nbi_img/pxelinux.cfg/default_skeleton…

    The MENU LABEL is “Clonezilla: save partitions sda1 as image 2009-06-01-17-img”
    Generate the PXE config file for host 172.16.100.181 … done!
    Client jobs are logged in ‘/var/log/clonezilla-jobs.log’,
    *****************************************************.
    Now set up the client machines to boot from PXE or Etherboot (refer to http://drbl.sourceforge.net for more details). Then boot the client to make the template image! Note: If the partition you want to save is a NTFS filesystem, it is recommended to defrag that partition first.
    NOTE! (1) If Etherboot is used on client computers, version 5.4.0 or newer is required! (2) If the cloned OS is MS windows, and it fails to boot with an error message like “Missing Operating System” or “Invalid System Disk”, then you can try to (1) change the IDE hard drive settings in the BIOS to use LBA mode instead of AUTO mode. (2) Or you can try to use parameter -t1 when restoring.
    Create specific config for PXE client.
    Generate the PXE config file for host 172.16.100.181 … done!
    PS. Next time you can run this command directly:
    /opt/drbl/sbin/drbl-ocs -b -q2 -j2 -p true -z1p -i 0 -h “172.16.100.181″ -l en_US.UTF-8 startparts save 2009-06-01-17-img sda1
    This command is also saved as this file name for later use if necessary: /tmp/ocs-2009-06-01-17-img-2009-06-01-17-49
    done!

    But I am not able to see any image file under “/home/partimage” directory.

    Please help in this regard.

    I’ve installed this in Linux Mint 7. When a client PXE boots, and I select the clonezilla option, it ends up at a login prompt. I’m not using a list of MAC addresses or IP addresses. I have close to 200 laptops to image (which will be done in groups of 20 due to space constraints).

    I’d like clonezilla to automatically assign IPs and have them use /tftpboot/nbi_img/pxelinux.cfg/default when booting.

    Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

    @JR – “wget apt-get update” doesn’t look right. try

    “sudo apt-key add GPG-KEY-DRBL”

    This wil not work in Ubuntu 9.10 server

    BrUz: Stable release does not support 9.10, use 9.04 instead.

    Also, this guide mentions Ubuntu 8.10 which ‘does not’ support NTFS over NFS mounts.
    Kernels earlier than 2.6.27 don’t support NFS exporting of NTFS partitions

    BrUz, use the Clonezilla Forum on Sourceforge, they answer your questions very fast… also helped me !a lot!

    I for the life of me cannot find out how to apt-get install partclone. It doesn’t seem to be in any sources. Any ideas?
