2019-03 - Guidedog having smartd/sectors. Cloned a new disk to replace the current guidedog
boot disk.
Used GA-B75 motherboard in hilo (same as guidedog) and a new disk.
Make a backup of bigdog (use this to restore since bigdog has a good disk):
Bigdog is:
/dev/sda1 40G 6.2G 32G 17% /r1 (old 6.3 x64 install)
/dev/sda2 40G 7.8G 30G 21% / (boot disk, 6.6)
/dev/sda3 40G 48M 38G 1% /r3 (empty)
/dev/sda4 341G 3.9G 320G 2% /aux (empty, so old junk)
Guidedog was similar /dev/sda2 was the boot disk.
Both running CentOS6.6 2.6.32-504.12.2.el6.i68
1. make bigdog back in /irtf.backup: 190325.root.zdump
And do rsync_etc.sh on bigdog, guidedog
2. Using tdtest IP in hilo.
On tdtest, boot from DVD (CentOS 6.9 i386) into rescue mode.
NOTE: DVD boot doesn't alway work, but USB works well.
cntl+alt+f2 for shell (alt+cntl+f6 to return to GUI)
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=4096 count=4096 # to wipe an old disk
use fdisk to create the partitions:
/sda1 40GB
/sda2 40GB
/sda3 40GB
/sda4 remainder
Format the partitions
mkfs.ext4 -v -m 2 /dev/sda1
mkfs.ext4 -v -m 2 /dev/sda2
mkfs.ext4 -v -m 2 /dev/sda3
mkfs.ext4 -v -m 1 /dev/sda4
3. Restore a backup to /dev/sda2
mount hnas1:/irtf.backup /irtf.backup # access denied by server!
# so I sftp 190325.root.zdump to /aux/bigdog/ (on /dev/sda4).
mount /dev/sda2 /r2
cd /r2
restore -rf /aux/bigdog/190325.root.zdump
4. change configure to tdtest
/etc/hosts
/etc/sysconfig/network
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (query current ifcig-eth0 for info).
/etc/fstab
/boot/grub/menu.lst - replace uuid with /dev/sdaX
5. reinstall grub
# grub
grub> root (hd0,1) <- sda2 is hd0,1
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> quit
6. after booting into harddisk:
copy over stuff from /irtf.backup/guidedog to /aux/guidedog/
copy over the guidedog ifcfg-eth0 & ifcfg-eth0:1 for the summit.
switch network configuration to guidedog before shutting down disk:
/etc/sysconfig/network
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:1
