| 10 | |
| 11 | * Install SLES from the distribution media, using LVM disk management. |
| 12 | * Update online using YaST |
| 13 | * Install additional packages needed to build the production environment. |
| 14 | * Install packages needed to support !MondoRescue |
| 15 | |
| 16 | which in total would take more than 4 hours elapsed time per server. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | !MondoRescue was used to back the prototype system up to LTO tape, writing OBDR headers. Installation of a production server then reduced to booting from the tape, typing nuke, waiting about 10 minutes, mounting partitions and running grub-install in a chroot environment, and configuring networking. Total time per server was less than 30 minutes. |
