Cloning Nodes

From LinodeWiki

Linode offers the ability to clone a Linode's configuration and disks. This allows you to setup one server, then just copy the server to make a cluster.

[edit] Post-Clone Tasks

After cloning your node, you will need to make some changes depending on your system setup.

[edit] System Name

• Update your Hostname

[edit] Static IP Addresses

If you're running DHCP, then you can skip this step. Otherwise, you need to boot into single-user mode and then update your IP addresses.

• Configure Static IPs

[edit] MySQL Replication

If you run MySQL in a master/slave setup, you need to change the server ID. If you run a standalone MySQL daemon (the default), you can skip this. Open /etc/my.cnf and change server-id to a unique number within your environment.
