Different gateways for different network interfaces
by Jens Ahrens
Hi everybody,
I want to install a system with 2 NICs. For configuring the systems I did:
cobbler system add --name="sys1" [....] --ip="10.0.0.1"
--mac="00:01:02:03:04:05" --subnet="255.255.255.0" --gateway="10.0.0.10"
cobbler system edit --name="sys1" --interface="1" --ip="192.168.0.1"
--mac="00:02:03:04:05:06" --subnet="255.255.255.0" --gateway="192.168.0.10"
When I do a:
cobbler system dumpvars --name=sys1
I get only one gateway - which is in this case the one for interface 1:
'gateway': '192.168.0.10'
In the dumped variables section interfaces, there is no gateway entry.
For getting the interfaces configured correctly in my kickstart file I
need the correct gateways for each NIC.
Is there anything I'm doing wrong?
Thanks and cheers,
Jens

It's time for another Cobbler survey!
by Michael DeHaan
Hi Everyone,
It's not quite a been a year since the last cobbler survey, but things
have been moving exponentially lately, so I figure it's a good time for
another!
As before, please reply off list (not here, to mdehaan(a)redhat.com
instead) and I'll post a anonymized summary of results later.
The goal of this survey is understand how everyone is using things,
which features get used most, and to better be able to plan and
understand where we need to go in the future. It helps me understand
what aspects are most important and what other tools are in use
along with Cobbler.
So, it would be fantastic if absolutely everyone on this list replies --
that would be awesome. Even if you aren't on this list
and are reading through gmane, shoot me an email --- it would be greatly
appreciated.
Results will be shared in a couple of weeks, once I have a chance to
aggregate and summarize them. Again, any specifics you wish
to share about your deployment help me understand you enormously, I
value them, and they won't be shared when I do share the summary.
Thanks!
--Michael
=== START ==
(1) What is your company/installbase and what do you? Be as
specific or non-specific as you like, we won't share specifics but want
to get an idea of what sectors
things are being used in.
(2) How did you find about Cobbler and how long have you been using
it? (or Just trying it out now, that's good to know also).
(3) How many machines do you have managed by Cobbler?
(4) Do you use the Cobbler web interface?
(5) Do you use the DHCP management feature?
(6) Do you use the DNS management feature?
(7) Do you use the Power management feature?
(8) Do you use "koan --replace-self"?
(9) Do you use "cobbler replicate" ?
(10) Do you use "cobbler buildiso" ?
(11) Do you use cobbler to mirror repositories ("cobbler repo add /
cobbler reposync") ?
(12) Do you use either the built-in config management tool
(--template-files) or the Puppet integration (--mgmt-classes) feature?
(13) Do you use koan to install virtual machines? (If so, what Xen
or KVM or VMware?) If not, what kind of virtualization do you use?
(14) What's the output of the following? You may choose to censor
the system counts if you want, but I still would like a feel as to
whether system records
are well leveraged.
sudo cobbler distro report | wc -l
sudo cobbler profile report | wc -l
sudo cobbler system report | wc -l
sudo cobbler image report | wc -l
sudo cobbler repo report | wc -l
(15) Are you interested in "Cloud" type applications, if so,
which? (EC2? Internally hosted?)
(16) What Open Source or proprietary software do you use to manage
your updates? (yum, Spacewalk/Satellite, etc?)
(17) What Open Source or proprietary software do you use for config
management (in-house solutions, cfengine, puppet, etc?)
(18) What Open Source or proprietary software do you use for monitoring?
(19) Just out of curiosity, how interested are you in "ITIL" at your
organization and how do you see this affecting Cobbler, if at all?
(20) Are the any applications you'd like to see Cobbler integration
better with? If so, how?
(21) What's your number one requested Cobbler feature?
(22) Anything else you'd like to add?

Adding --template-files text field to webui profile edit page (Trac Ticket #298)
by Bryan Schneiders
I've attempted to make a patch that adds a text field to the profile edit page in the webui for editing the --template-files list.
It successfully shows you the current --template-files list associated with a profile, but it doesn't appear to save changes or additions and I'm not sure why.
Patch against 1.6.x branch is attached.

Django packaging and RPM update
by Michael DeHaan
Django files will be installed by the cobbler-web RPM into:
/usr/share/cobbler/django
Cobbler now has the following three Apache configuration files
/etc/httpd/conf.d/cobbler.conf -- basically now just points folks to
the web application and also ensures trees are servicable.
/etc/httpd/conf.d/cobbler-svc.conf -- handles the mod_python service
handlers -- we could actually consolidate this with the first, now would
be a good time (I think so, yes?)
/etc/httpd/conf.d/cobbler-django.conf (if installed) -- makes
http://.../cobbler_web work
If the user visits the old URL (http://.../cobbler/web) then they
will get a message telling them about the new URL and what package to
install.. should help nicely with IRC questions. :)
The cobbler web package also stores files in:
/var/www/cobbler_webui_content
html files, icons, CSS
I did this so the path would be wholy owned by cobbler-web, and not
by the cobbler package. Makes things a bit less confusing (to me, anyway)
The following path no longer has anything in it:
/var/www/cobbler/webui
Cobbler still puts internal content, but not "web browser content" in
/var/www/cobbler
as it has always done
The following path just contains the index.html file telling folks where
the new app is, which we'll keep around for a few releases at least:
/var/www/cobbler/web
Also in the source tree I've removed "webui_templates" and all the
django stuff (mostly) lives in the subdirectory "django-webui". There
are still a few source files that we should probably
consolidate, noteably django-webui/javascript should go into
webui_content (if that makes sense to James) and also the webui.html
file that is the minimal online help for the web app should probably
move from docs to webui_content too. (Which is not hard).
So when folks running 1.6 finally upgrade to 1.8, they should only be
slightly suprised by some .rpmsave files they need to remove in
/etc/httpd/conf.d -- of which I'm not sure of a great way to save
folks from that trouble -- but the web app should nicely point people to
the right place once they get going.
Comments? Questions?

Re: [virt] Did you know virbr0 was not a real bridge?
by Mykel Alvis
Oops. Didn't mean to reply off-list.
When I used the technique you described, I get the network alive and kicking
but can't seem to get the VMs themselves started. I don't know if it's an
issue with koan starting the vm or with my libvirtd dnsmasq config.
I can't seem to see if the koan process is working correctly because the
console output from virt-manager is a blank screen. When I use virsh to
connect and try to reach the console, it hangs uninterruptedly. Do you (or
anyone) know if this is because the network is still awry or if it is likely
to be something else?
Thanks again for all your help,
M

I see /var/log/http/error.log complaining about missing file
icon_16_sync.png. It is referenced in styles.css I checked in
cobbler-1.6.3-2 on fedora 10. Nothing important - just annoyance.

I think this piece of dhcp.template causes the error:

After removing these lines and running 'cobbler sync', DHCPD runs fine ...

repo is not defined error
by Nicholas Schuetz
Hello,
I am getting the following error when I try to add two repos to a
profile. I can save the profile with an individual repo defined
though. When more than one is defined I get this error:
---

I see both repos in the repo list:

RHEL-5-i386-PROD
RHEL-5-i386-TEST
RHEL-5-i386-UAT
RHEL-5-i386-THIRDPARTY
I did do a cobbler reposync after creating the latest repo
"RHEL-5-i386-TEST" with cobbler 1.6.3. All other repos where created
with previous versions of cobbler.
Can anyone out there help me understand what is going on here?
I am running cobbler 1.6.3 on RHEL 5 x86.
