Dynamically downloading packages on demand
by Razi Khaja
I've setup a repo for Fedora 15 and run 'cobbler reposync'. Currently
I am downloading 24000+ packages, and likely won't need more than a
small fraction of those. Although in some cases, mirroring entire
repositories may be desired, it might be more efficient to mirror to
only download packages into the local mirror on demand. Meaning,
suppose I am setting up a new Fedora 15 machine, and have my
repositories registered with the profile, if I want to install package
X on my new Fedora 15 system, and it doesn't exist in my local repo,
then download it to my local repo. In other words, if a package does
not exist in my repo, then download it on demand. Is this something
that is possible to do using Cobbler?
Thanks,
Razi

cobbler sync error
by Michael Hughes
Hi Cobblers :)
I followed the steps on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/SystemDocumentation/UbuntuServe...
to install a functional Orchestra system and brought up two servers
(yea!) I am running Precise x86_64.
I'm trying to understand Cobbler and ran 'cobbler check' which
returned two anomalies. I don't recall the exact problems and they've
long scrolled out of the buffer, but one suggestion was to restart
cobblerd, which I did, and the other suggested running 'cobbler sync'.
I did so and received this error:
$ sudo cobbler-sync
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/cobbler", line 35, in <module>
sys.exit(app.main())
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cobbler/cli.py", line 543, in main
rc = cli.run(sys.argv)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cobbler/cli.py", line 197, in run
self.token = self.remote.login("", self.shared_secret)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1224, in __call__
return self.__send(self.__name, args)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1578, in __request
verbose=self.__verbose
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1264, in request
return self.single_request(host, handler, request_body, verbose)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1297, in single_request
return self.parse_response(response)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1473, in parse_response
return u.close()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 793, in close
raise Fault(**self._stack[0])
xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault 1: "<class 'cobbler.cexceptions.CX'>:'login failed'">
$
Now when I attempt to run 'cobbler check' I get a similar error to the
above rather than the sane response I got the first time.
As a side note, I am unable to log into the new nodes. I tried several
variants of passwords, (root/cobbler, etc.) but am not able to.
Any hints appreciated!

Koan virtio support for network
by Gonzalo Servat
Hi All,
I only noticed today (after setting up many VMs in the past using Koan!)
that only virtio disk is supported by koan, not network.
This is on RHEL 6.2 running Cobbler/Koan 2.0.11-2.el6. Has this been
implemented in a newer version?
