re-kickstarting CentOS 5.x to 5.5 errors - cobbler related?

by Dick Davies

I've imported CentOS 5.5 ISOs into our Cobbler 1.6 server to try them out. They seem to have issues when re-kickstarting servers - the disks are re-formatted but just as swap should be configured the installer bombs out. If I reformat disks and retry, everything works as it should. I'm starting to think there may be an issue with the 'keep_ssh_host_keys" snippet; is anyone else using that ?

Snippet error in 2.x - No issues in 1.6.x

by Tom Brown

Hi We are looking at a migration from standalone cobbler and going to spacewalk. Currently spacewalk just requires 'cobbler' but on a fresh install you get 2.0.3 and i have actually upgraded this to 2.0.4 to see if the error is still there and it is. Basically a number of our snippets dont render out they are just left with $SNIPPET('name') in the rendered out ks and yet these work fine on 1.6.5 - Is there any difference in how cheetah renders stuff out in the versions? An example of a snippet that does not work is #set root_password = $getVar("role"," ") #if $root_password == "XXX" # Set the root pwd to be for XXX rootpw --iscrypted XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX #elif $root_password == "XXX" # Set the root pwd to be for XXX rootpw --iscrypted XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX #else # Set the XXX root pwd rootpw --iscrypted XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX #end if now i can make this one work with #raw's however we have some rather more complicated ones that might be more tricky to fix like that. any clues on why they fail? thanks

imaged machines not including the base distro repo

by Jeremy Hansen

I upgraded to 2.0.3 and for some reason, machines I'm imaging are including all repos except for the base distribution repo. Any clues as to how I can track this down and fix it? Thanks -jeremy

Kickstart and snippet

by Jonas Bygdén

Hi, When kickstarting a system it gets automatically registered by the use of the cobbler snippet 'redhat_register'. Is there a way to disable this completely? The main reason for my question is that cobbler adds a default key to all systems using the "Red Hat Management Key" variable, and we don't want that. I've tried to edit the cobbler profiles to remove that auto-generated key, but I don't seem to be able to do that. We're adding our own activation keys in a post script and re-registering the system, which causes the system to be registered twice. Once with the by cobbler auto generated key, and once with our keys. /Jonas

KVM Virtualisation

by lists＠truthisfreedom.org.uk

Hi all, I'm now running Cobbler and Koan on a Centos box (install was far easier that ubuntu! :P) however when I try and provision a system, I'm getting the following error: ================================================ - downloading initrd initrd.img to /var/lib/xen/initrd.img - url=http://192.168.0.108/cobbler/images/Centos5.4-x86_64/initrd.img - downloading kernel vmlinuz to /var/lib/xen/vmlinuz - url=http://192.168.0.108/cobbler/images/Centos5.4-x86_64/vmlinuz - kernel saved = /var/lib/xen/vmlinuz - initrd saved = /var/lib/xen/initrd.img Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/koan/app.py", line 108, in main k.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/koan/app.py", line 174, in run self.do_virt() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/koan/app.py", line 301, in do_virt return self.do_net_install("/var/lib/xen",after_download) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/koan/app.py", line 271, in do_net_install after_download(self, profile_data) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/koan/app.py", line 300, in after_download self.do_virt_net_install(profile_data) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/koan/app.py", line 581, in do_virt_net_install nameoverride=self.virtname File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/koan/virtcreate.py", line 88, in start_paravirt_install guest.set_extra_args(extra) AttributeError: 'ParaVirtGuest' object has no attribute 'set_extra_args' ========================================================= What's strange is that this VM is defined as using qemu and XEN is not installed on this server (but KVM is!) I've googled for this issue but didn't turn up anything, can anyone help on this? This was installed from the Epel repos. Thanks, Matt

Support for setting MTU

by Paul Maunders

Hi all, Is it possible to set the MTU on an interface somewhere in the standard cobbler system settings? Or will we need to write a snippet to achieve this? It would be nice to be able set the MTU with the system edit command, e.g. cobbler system edit --name=blah --mac=00:00:00:00:00 --ip=10.0.0.2 --subnet=255.255.255.0 --static=1 --interface=eth1.105 --mtu=9000 But this currently gives... cobbler: error: no such option: --mtu We'd like to be able to change the MTU on some interfaces to support jumbo frames. Is this something that is likely to be added any time soon? and is there a preferred method for setting the MTU in the meantime? Regards, Paul Maunders Fubra Limited

Re: Setup of system

by Lydia Heck

Even so cblr is set as an alias, should I not expect to have m2067 (the system created using cobbler) sitting in the directory structure at /var/www/cobbler/svc/op/ks/system/m2067 which is referenced in ks=http://172.17.11.1/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/m2067 ? I used cobbler system add --name=m2067 etc .... But the file is not in that place. Also: I expected /etc/dhcpd.conf to have been modified to reflect the adding of the system. But there have been no changes. cobbler report sytem shows systems: ========== Name : m2067 Comment : Gateway : Hostname : Image : Kernel Options : {} Kernel Options (Post Install) : {} Kickstart : <<inherit>> Kickstart Metadata : {} Management Classes : [] Name Servers : [] Name Servers Search Path : [] Netboot Enabled : True Owners : ['admin'] Power Management Address : Power ID : Power Password : Power Management Type : ipmitool Power Username : Profile : cordelia Red Hat Management Key : <<inherit>> Red Hat Management Server : <<inherit>> Server Override : <<inherit>> Template Files : {} Virt Auto Boot : <<inherit>> Virt CPUs : <<inherit>> Virt File Size(GB) : <<inherit>> Virt Path : <<inherit>> Virt RAM (MB) : <<inherit>> Virt Type : <<inherit>> Interface ===== : eth1 Bonding Mode : Bonding Master : Bonding Opts : DHCP Tag : DNS Name : IP Address : 172.18.11.3 MAC Address : 00:15:17:00:32:48 Static : True Static Routes : [] Subnet : 172.18.0.0 Virt Bridge : Interface ===== : eth0 Bonding Mode : Bonding Master : Bonding Opts : DHCP Tag : DNS Name : IP Address : 172.17.11.3 MAC Address : 00:E0:81:5B:0F:2B Static : True Static Routes : [] Subnet : 172.17.0.0 Virt Bridge : yacketrj at potsdam.edu wrote: On 5/18/2010 10:12 AM, Lydia Heck wrote: > I downloaded and installed cobbler and configured it. > > Then I started to setup an install server, adding a distro, some profiles and > one system. > > All looked most straightforward.
