mkdir systemimager
cd systemimager
wget http://compbio.chemistry.uq.edu.au/mediawiki/upload/b/ba/Install.txt
mv Install.txt Install.pl
chmod +x Install.pl


  • Now we use the installer to grab the required packages:
    • systemimager
    • systemimager-bittorrent
    • systemimager-client
    • systemimager-common
    • systemimager-flamethrower
    • systemimager-server
    • systemimager-x86_64boot-standard
    • systemimager-x86_64initrd_template


./Install.pl -v --download-only --tag stable --directory . systemconfigurator systemimager-client \
 systemimager-common systemimager-x86_64boot-standard systemimager-x86_64initrd_template systemimager-server \ 
 systemimager-bittorrent systemimager-flamethrower

Setup the imaging server

  • First off, I installed some files that may be required later (if not these can be removed):
yum install tftpd
yum install tftp* (xinetd dependency which is required will be grabbed)
NOTE: These packages are also suggested: pxe dhcp-server dhcp


  • Transfer the required files to guava
scp systemconfigurator-* systemimager-common-* systemimager-server-* systemimager-x86_64boot-standard-* \
systemimager-bittorrent-* username@guava:/working/dir
  • Install the packages on guava
rpm -ivh systemconfigurator-* (yum install perl-AppConfig to satify dependency)
rpm -ivh systemimager-common-* systemimager-server-* systemimager-x86_64boot-standard-*
(yum install  perl-XML-Simple to satisfy dependency)
rpm -ivh systemimager-bittorrent-*
