I found an OpenSource project called Clonezilla (http://clonezilla.org/). This software does essentially the same thing as Norton Ghost, and there is also a version than can do distributed cloning (such as doing an install for a computer lab).

Redhat asked for the below 3 reports to help resolve:

• top -n 500 -b -d 1 > /tmp/top.txt&      (top)
• vmstat 1 500 > /tmp/vm.txt&              (vm info)
• iostat -x 1 500 > /tmp/io.txt&               (io)

This will remove the xxx.tar.gz and leave you with the xxx.tar

• gunzip xxx.tar.gz

Then this will remove all the files from the tar, leaving the xxx.tar (make sure you run this in the folder you want the files at)

• tar -xvvf xxx.tar

less /proc/cpuinfo

cat /etc/red*
