Cloning the music server with Clonezilla so it will be down temporarily. This is my first time doing a clone in this fashion not sending the image to a storage disk and then uploading that image. I’m attempting to go from the server directly to the disk on a XCP-ng. I may go the old route and shoot it over to an NFS share if things don’t work out.
UPDATE: Decided to clone the entire music server to my NAS so it’s taking a lot longer to clone both boot drive and drive that holds the music. I could have went with just the boot drive and copied the music over later but block by block copies faster even though the music server is down longer. This is a good baseline system restore just in case I needed anyway.
I’ll start the sytem back up after this and start the music since it’s late. I can test the disk to disk remote source on my Zoneminder CCTV server. I don’t anticipate issues with either procedure though you never know, I did have to work around a kernel panic initially this evening on my bl460c g7 blade music server when I first started the clone.
This is the current disposition of the process though it’s now going much faster. Running this via ILO 3 in my QEMU KVM on my Fedora 42 workstation in a W2012 r2 datacenter trial via IE so I can use ILO3 with the latest stable version of Clonezilla clonezilla-live-3.2.2-15-amd64.
