    <title>Clone a computer over the network</title>
    <para>
	    Goal of duplication is to easily deploy a computer over network without taking care of numbers of computer. In this documentation, we call golden node the node we want to clone. We can duplicate SCSI or IDE hard drive, and duplication support multiple filesystem (reiserfs, ext2, ext3, ext4, xfs, jfs).
	    This method came from a very old project called CLIC, and was used under IGGI project, all Mandrake Clustering products, and now it is used under XtreemOS project. Now it should be available in 2010 spring, and all futur product.
    </para>
    <para>WARNING: all data on client nodes will be ERASED ! We duplicate partitions of HDD's golden node, and the process will do an fdisk command on the client node, so ALL YOUR DATA will be erased on client nodes.</para>
    <sect2>
      <title>KA method</title>
      <para>
	With KA method you can quickly duplicate a node using a <emphasis role="bold">desc</emphasis>
	file describing partitions. KA method only duplicate data on partitions, so if you have 80go HDD disk, and
	only 10go on it, KA only duplicates 10go, and not the whole disk. KA method doesn't not support RAID software.

      <title>PXE server (kamethod)</title>
      <para>
	We have to configure the PXE to boot by default on <emphasis role="bold">kamethod</emphasis>.
	To do this just edit <emphasis role="bold">/var/lib/tftpboot/X86PC/linux/pxelinux.cfg/default</emphasis> and set
	  <emphasis role="bold">DEFAULT</emphasis> to kamethod:
      </para>

      <para>
	If the nodes can't reach the golden node, running the <emphasis role="bold">KA</emphasis>
	server the message <emphasis role="bold">Can't reach a valid KA server</emphasis> will appear.
	Each node will try five times to reach the <emphasis role="bold">KA</emphasis> server, after that the node will reboot.

      <title>Stage2, the duplication process</title>
      <para>
	Once all the nodes have found the <emphasis role="bold">KA</emphasis> server, the first
	duplication process will start. This step duplicates the
	<emphasis role="bold">stage2</emphasis> from the <emphasis role="bold">/mnt/ka</emphasis> directory
	of the golden node, in the client's nodes memory (<emphasis role="bold">/dev/ram3</emphasis> formated as ext2). Then, nodes chroot their memories (the <emphasis role="bold">/tmp/stage2</emphasis> directory), and launch the <emphasis role="bold">drvinst</emphasis> command from the stage2, to probe all needed their modules (drivers). Then, the second step of the duplication starts.
      </para>
      <para>
	The duplication process will clone your drives following
	the description you have made (<emphasis role="bold">/tmp/desc</emphasis> of the golden node).
	Nodes will rewrite their partition table, then format their filesystems (ReiserFs, XFS,
	ext2/3/4, JFS). All new partitions will be mounted in the <emphasis role="bold">/mnt/disk</emphasis> directory.
	Then, the drive duplication process will begin. On a fast Ethernet switch you can reach speeds of 10MBytes/sec.
      </para>
    </sect2>
    <sect2>
      <title>Prepare the node</title>
	<para>
	At the end of the duplication process, each node will
	chroot its partitions and rebuild its <emphasis role="bold">/boot/initrd.img</emphasis>,
	and <emphasis role="bold">/etc/modprobe.conf</emphasis> files.
	This step ensures that your node will reboot using its potential
	SCSI drives and adjusting its network card driver. Before
	rebooting, each node reinstalls lilo/grub. All your node are
	now ready, and are clone of master node.
      </para>
