xCAT 2.x image capture and restore

Hi all,

I have xCAT 2.5 installed as the provision tool for VCL 2.2, however xCAT 
2.5, out of box, doesn't seem able to capture disk image.

How to make xCAT 2.x able to handle disk images? Do I need to create my 
own netboot image customized with partimage, partimage-ng or systemimager?


Thanks,

Hi John,

Josh had done some work on this for our NCSU install. Here are his 
notes, it also includes the ram disk, root image and kernel modules.
