Any way to Extract XC V2 core files and dependencies for other machine?

[verg0]

Hi has anyone been able to extract and port XC V2 to another machine yet? It would be great if we could recreate some sort of an installer then use the recent XC CMS with it, especially once the CMS goes open source!

I tried a few clones of my server but couldn't get it to work. I'm sure other will have tried this too?

I'm interested in this too.

Now they have all the xtreamcodes data, they have it all.

Server IPs, database passwords, SSH logins.

Everything needs to be at least changed. Also a way to clone the load-balance server would be nice too.

My knowledge of mysql is limited, but I know about linux, cloning, etc if anyone thinks you can help me send a PM.

Any attempt of cloning will require at least lots of manual work in the database

Cloning content is easy it's the configs and packages that's the pain in the ass

I'm going to clone the entire disk, with the OS and everything.

That's the easy part for me, the hard part is making the database "aware" of that

If you can clone the whole server and get it working on another, can you clone 2.9 main server to another? I am sure other would like this ability?

I can clone easily, the issue is cloning it without rebooting the server which I don't want to do.

I'm looking in ways to do it

You can clone in another machine using dd
dd if=/dev/disk | gzip -1 - | ssh user@serverremote dd of=image.gz
or
dd if=/dev/disk | ssh user@serverremote dd of=/dev/systemdisk

Interesting approach, but I'm using raid 0, my partition is /dev/md1...do you think that changes anything?

Nope as soon you filesystem is mounted on /dev/md1. To let it work you have first know which will be the target system or will never start
because of missed info on /etc/fstab

 

[GaiusBaltar]

Well actually it's not needed, you can clone on remote, gunzip image, change sectors of image, mount image and change fstab, umount image, dd to destination disk.
Not easy but can be done

Just another idea, has anyone tried to recover the original install files downloaded from XC via disk recovery tools etc?

 

[dvlop90]

who have idea for clone server's ?

 

[PETERSMIT]

Everybody but it's not that simple to clone I don't think. I've tried a few times with no success

Any working solutions for a server migration with XC v2?

 

[goochi]

the problem is not migration
the problem is installing the packages needed no one know what we need to install
