School Computer Disk Imaging using Clonezilla Server

Step 4. Part 2 - PXE boot the clients and begin cloning
1. With the clients configured to PXE boot on startup, start the clients to be cloned. A screen similar to this appears while the client is contacting the Clonzilla server:
2. When the client successfuly loads the Clonezilla program, choose Clonezilla: multicast restore if it is not already selected.
3. Once all the clients are ready, the cloning will start.
4. Once the cloning starts, all the clients will be cloned simutaneously. These are 3 clients being cloned at the same time.
.
5.When the cloning process has finished, the clients should shutdown automatically if you configured that option in Clonezilla. Start the clients, enter the BIOS again and change the boot order to start from the CD / ROM or Hard drive first. Save changes and exit.
6. Start the clients. All of them will be exact duplicates of the Master Computer. You will need to change all of their names to avoid network conflicts.
7. Stop Clonezilla Server
Open the terminal. Applications > Accessories > Terminal and they type;
sudo /opt/drbl/sbin/dcs
Click throught the Clonezilla screens and then select Clonezilla-stop Stop clonezilla mode to shut down the CloneZilla Server.
DONE!
