Mass Machine_id Duplication

SUSE Multi-Linux Manager를 사용하여 가상 머신을 관리하는 경우 VM의 클론을 생성하는 것이 유용할 수 있습니다. 클론은 기존 디스크의 복사본인 기본 디스크를 사용하는 VM입니다.

VM을 복제하면 시간을 크게 절약할 수 있지만, 디스크에 중복된 식별 정보가 있으면 문제가 발생할 수 있습니다.

If you try to register two machine where one is the clone of the other, you probably want SUSE Multi-Linux Manager to register them as two separate clients. However, if the machine ID in both the original client and the clone is the same, SUSE Multi-Linux Manager registers both clients as one system, and the data is overwritten one the second machine is registered.

This can be resolved by changing the machine ID of the clone, so that SUSE Multi-Linux Manager recognizes them as two different clients. For more information and instructions on how to change machine ID, see 문제 해결 복제된 클라이언트 등록.

However, in some situations, it is neither feasible nor practical to change the machine ID on all systems, as this could disrupt other applications that depend on the existing machine IDs. In those cases, a option is available where a fake machine ID is generated to be used in the context of SUSE Multi-Linux Manager.

Procedure: Generating machine ID for SUSE Multi-Linux Manager at registration time

  1. Create a Bootstrap script (skip this step if you already have it) For more information, see Register Clients With a Bootstrap Script.

  2. Open the file and change the parameter:

    GENERATE_OWN_MACHINEID=1

  3. Start using your bootstrap strict, and machine ID will not collide anymore.
