Server A (Source) --> ServerB

# Run on Source
# ServerB is Destination

dd bs=16M if=/dev/sda | ssh -C root@serverB "dd bs=16M of=/dev/sda"

SystemRescueCd Clone 機時注意事項

1. Stop NetworkManager

/etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop

2. Stop LV

# 看什麼 active

lvs

# 一次過 Disable ALL LV

# Controls the availability of the logical volumes in the  volume group  for input/output

vgchange -a n

Activation of a logical volume creates a symbolic link /dev/VolumeGroupName/LogicalVolumeName pointing to the device  node.

This link is removed on deactivation.
