making copy of one server to another

Question

I have three identical hardware machine. I want to install and configure centos server on all machine. I need to have exactly same configuration. After some research,I know there is a way of making replica after installing in one machine by using bare metal hypervisor but i dont know how? what are the hypervisor used for this and what is the procedure? can we use KVM hypervisor for this purpose?

Answer 1

Since you are going to deploy CentOS on a identical hardware machine, you don't require Hypervisor. In your requirement, you need to just clone the HDD ( identical ), and you can use clonezilla like diskimage or cloning program.

Hypervisor is something different, where you can install multiple operating systems on a single hardware, wherein operating systems runs independetanly, and uses shared CPU,Network, and storage on the server.
