Hi,
When I run
koan --list=profiles -s localhost
I get the following error
root@Config cobbler]# koan --list=profiles -s localhost
- looking for Cobbler at http://localhost:25151/cobbler_api

I am using the web GUI and it works ok, no problems.

The logs do not seem to be affected.
The versions I am running are

cobbler-web-2.2.1-1.el6.noarch
[root@Config cobbler]# rpm -qa | grep koan
koan-2.2.1-1.el6.noarch
In the modules.conf I have
[authentication]
#module = authn_denyall
module = authn_configfile
[authorization]
module = authz_allowall
So I am a bit lost. Any thoughts ?
Thanks

Windows install with Cobbler
by Janet.Conkle＠afscn.com
Has anyone been successful in installing windows using cobbler? I've
found a few things on the net but nothing definitive. I need a tool
that will install baseline images on lab boxes of both the linux and
Windows flavors.

Memtest image in cobbler-2.2.1
by André Gemünd
Hello list,
since upgrading to 2.2.1, I cannot get the memtest image to work anymore as described in the wiki: https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/MemTest
If I have a memtest image in Cobbler, cobbler sync will always fail telling me that the object doesn't have a os_version (because distro is None in that case).
Is there a different way to do it now?
Cheers
André

Re: cobbler 2.2 buildiso issue with kernel options
by Simon Woolsgrove
Thanks,
Applied and fixed the issue where duplicate keys exist.
This would be common where you have hardware that has out of band management interface e.g. ilo, drac etc... and you want multiple console options offered.
<snip> The console parameter can be given repeatedly, but the parameter can only be given once for each console technology. So console=tty0 console=lp0 console=ttyS0 is acceptable but console=ttyS0 console=ttyS1 will not work. </snip>
Blacklisting modules would be another common example where this would happen.
Have found a few more issues with move from 1.6 will post.
Cheers, Simon

XCP Guests Unable to PXE Boot
by Russ Lavoy
Hello,
I am having an issue with XCP guests not being able to pxe boot. First I change the PV options (that is what is required to netboot with the VM, but when I do that it sees the MAC of the VM and starts to load the pxelinux.cfg/MAC-ADDR then tells me "Invalid or corrupt kernel image". I did an md5sum on the vmlinuz and initrd.img files and they are all the exact same in the KS repo and in the /tftpboot location. I can kickstart it with no issues, just not PXE.
Is there any help on that one out there?
Thanks!

cobbler 2.2 buildiso issue with kernel options
by Simon Woolsgrove
Just installed 2.2 (great job by the way) if we have a system with
duplicate keys in the kernel options e.g. console=x console=y buildiso
is generating a list on the append line e.g.
# cobbler system dumpvars --name=fred | grep -i kernel_options
kernel_options : lang= console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 text noipv6
selinux=0 kssendmac
This gives a isolinux.cfg of
LABEL fred
MENU LABEL fred
kernel 1.krn
append initrd=1.img ks=http://x.x.x.x/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/fred
ksdevice=eth1 ip=123.123.123.123 netmask=255.255.255.0
gateway=123.123.123.1 dns=123.123.123.62 lang= console=['tty0',
'ttyS0,115200'] text noipv6 selinux=0 kssendmac
MENU END
Will have a look at the code but if someone gets there before us ... btw
this happens for any duplicates e.g. blacklist=module1 blacklist=module2
Cheers,
Simon

A How-to Question: Capturing a server configuration in command line form
by Dan White
I am looking for a way to preserve a server configuration for disaster recovery purposes.
Is there a way to "dump" the contents/configuration of a cobbler server such that it can be used as command line input to rebuild/duplicate the server ?
The report output has all the necessary information, but it is not in the same form as it would be when being entered on the command line.
Thanks.

Problem with yum-rhn-plugin-0.5.4-22.el5_7.(1|2)
by Dan White
https://access.redhat.com/support/cases/00546517
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=746053
And a new twist discovered this morning:
RHN directed me to rename the repo [rhel-x86_64-server-5] in /etc/yum.repos.d/cobbler-config.repo
I did and that fixed the problem on the client side.
However, when I tried to apply the same name-change to the repo on the cobbler server, it said:
cobbler reposync --only=local-rhel-x86_64-server-5

Seeking feedback from build ISO users
by Jörgen Maas
Hi all,
I'm currently working on some patches regarding the cobbler buildiso feature.
Now i'm wondering who is using the netboot iso and the profiles as
provided in the boot menu, instead of the system records in the menu?
Could you also describe your use case, e.g. why are you using this
feature?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Subject: cobbler replicate between versions
Hi,
I was trying to install cobbler on a new server and installed cobbler-2.2.1-1.el5 but hit a problem when trying to replicate against cobbler-2.0.11-2.el5,
In this file /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/action_replicate.py commenting out the line below and replacing it with a small set of object types does the tick
""" OBJ_TYPES = [ "distro", "profile", "system", "repo", "image", "mgmtclass", "package", "file" ] """
OBJ_TYPES = [ "distro", "profile", "system", "repo", "image" ]
My python skills are non existant but it seems to do the job so far, the small set matches the same python file in the 2.0.11 version
Hope that helps someone.
Steve
