Full Discussion: Move OS to storage disk
Operating Systems Linux Move OS to storage disk Post 303019012 by rbatte1 on Thursday 21st of June 2018 06:51:07 AM

When you say 'storage', what do you actually mean? Do you mean something more like 'boot from SAN provided disk' perhaps, or 'boot from USB device' or something else?

Do you mean take a backup you can boot/restore from? (Like the lovely AIX mksysb, HP Ignite and the Solaris one) You might have more joy searching for threads like this:- Mksysb Equivalent For Linux?


Can you confirm what you actually want to achieve and what hardware you are running on (or virtualisation manager)



Regards,
Robin
