If you create golden images of a system’s applications and operating system to store in an IgniteUX server for distribution to other systems, here are tips for creating images that include gWLM.

When creating an image of a managed node:

  • Ensure the gWLM agent is set to start automatically

    In the file /etc/rc.config.d/gwlmCtl, set the variable GWLM_AGENT_START equal to 1.

  • Ensure no deployed SRD includes the node (If the file /etc/opt/gwlm/deployed.config exists, an SRD is deployed on the node. Temporarily undeploy the SRD or unmanage the node.)

    If a node based on a virtual partition is part of a deployed SRD and you make a golden image of the virtual partition, once you push that golden image out, the gWLM agent on the new system will still consider itself part of the SRD. The agent will then try to rendezvous with that SRD’s other managed nodes. You can reset the agent by deleting the deployed.config file (mentioned above), then stopping and restarting gwlmagent.
