Clone existing NLS node

Post by Fred Kroeger »

Hi
I have configured a single node cluster & is working OK. To save time I would like to clone this VM and setup it up as the second node to the cluster (after updating the hostname & IP).
Is there some way I can reset the startup webpage on the new VM so that I can add this node to the existing cluster ?

regards... Fred

Unfortunately, since your VM is already setup, it isn't going to work by just cloning the VM. If you were to take a snapshot when it was at the initial install web gui page, then it would be possible, but not at this point.

sigh..... thanks.
It's a real pity because the NLS VM you provide is not setup for LVM like all the other Nagios VMs so I have a bit of customisation that I didn't want to repeat.

I understand. Since the settings are already saved on the machine for what it is, and uuid's have been assigned - it isn't as easy as just switching a couple numbers.

I'll leave this thread open should you have any further questions.
