    Must have configuration files

    Gentlemen,

    What are the bare minimum configuration files that would be needed to rebuild a RHEL server?

    We are thinking about creating a generic base image and then just copying over the necessary files (fstab, hosts, networking, etc) to get a failed system back up and running in the least amount of time possible. I am fairly new to Linux and have suggested that we have a share on a redundant server that is /server_configs/Svr_name/*.* (names are subject to change and *.* would be all of the pertinent config files to make a fresh build customized enough to emulate the failed server).

    Is this even possible and/or plausible?

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Get the basic system configured as you wish, then use clonezilla to create a cloneable boot image you can use. It will deal with the host names, addresses, etc in a reasonably sane manner.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
