anybody able to get cobbler to run on fc17?

by Alan Crosswell

I'm having trouble getting cobbler to start on an up-to-date fc17 distro. I suspect selinux and/or python version issues. I've submitted this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=842487 /a

cobbler import problem

by Parthasarathy, Balaji (BCS, Cupertino, USA)

On F16 + Cobbler 2.0, when I run a command like this cobbler import -path=<Path_to_NFS_mounted_distro_tree> --name=RHEL6.2-Server-x86_64-Remote --arch=x86_64 --available-as=http://<remote_server>/distros/RHEL6.2-Server-x86_64 in the profile kickstart file, it generates a correct entry like this url --url=http://<remote_server>/distros/RHEL6.2-Server-x86_64/ When I run a similar command on RHEL 6.2 + Cobbler 2.2.3, in the profile kickstart file, it generates a entry like this url --url=http://<remote_server>/distros/RHEL6.2-Server-x86_64/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/RHEL6.2-Server-x86_64-Remote-x86_64 which obviously won't work. Why is Cobbler appending the '/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/RHEL6.2-Server-x86_64-Remote-x86_64' to the URL? Thanks Balaji

import available-as option

by Tony Schreiner

I seem to be unclear on the concept of the available-as option to import (cobbler 2.2.3) I have a CentOS distribution on my file server (10.0.8.2) in /d1/install/centos/5/os/x86_64, which mounts on clients as /cluster/install/centos/5/os/x86_64. I run cobbler import --name=centos5 --path=/cluster/install/centos/5/os/x86_64 --available-as=nfs://10.0.8.2/d1/install/centos/5/os/x86_64 but this copies the distribution to /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/centos5. I thought the purpose of available-as was to not make another copy. Am I thinking wrong? Nor am I sure if I'm using an appropriate --path value. Tony Schreiner

PXE config troubleshooting script

by Mann, Owen

Hi all, I sometimes want to verify what TFTP is sending, but with tftp.py now being dynamic, I can't just cat the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/01-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx file. So I whipped up a quick BASH script to do this, and thought I'd share. Hope someone finds it handy. --8<----------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash trap 'echo;exit' SIGINT function usage () { echo "Usage: $0 [-d] hostname" echo " -d enables debug output" exit } while getopts d opt; do case $opt in d) DEBUG=1 ;; ?) usage ;; esac done shift $(($OPTIND - 1)) if [[ $# -ne 1 ]]; then usage; fi (($DEBUG)) && set -x tftp ${DEBUG:+-v} 0 -c get /pxelinux.cfg/01-`cobbler system report --name $1 2>/dev/null |awk '/^MAC/ && NF==4 {gsub(/:/, "-", $NF); print $NF; exit}'` /dev/stdout --8<----------------------------------------------------- ******************************************************* This message (including any files transmitted with it) may contain confidential and/or proprietary information, is the property of Interactive Data Corporation and/or its subsidiaries, and is directed only to the addressee(s).

Koan 2.2.3-2 prefers something over python-virtinst - but what?

by Msquared

Hi! I've just updated Koan from 2.2.2 to 2.2.3-2, and now I can't provision a new Xen VM from my Cobbler server on my CentOS 5.8 machine. Among the error messages, I noticed this: - warning: old python-virtinst detected, a lot of features will be disabled Poking around the Koan source makes me think that I need a package that supplies virtinst.py, but I can't find a package in the CentOS/EPEL 5.8 repos that supplies such a file. Am I barking up the wrong tree? PS: I've attached the full output from koan, in case it helps... Regards, Msquared...

power-type and template in /etc/cobbler/power/

by Jean-Baptiste Denis

Hello everybody, I'm using 2.2.3-2.el6 from the EPEL repository. I was using a power template file for using the supermicro specific officeblade IPMI java program : # ls -l /etc/cobbler/power/power_officeblade.template -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 249 Feb 29 16:57 /etc/cobbler/power/power_officeblade.template File content : https://gist.github.com/3130457 It was working quite well : just putting this file inside the /etc/cobbler/power directory seemed to be ok until now.

Oddity when importing Fedora 17

by Scot Floess

I'm importing a number of distros: • Fedora 15 • Fedora 17 • CentOS 6.3 When running cobbler distro report, I'm seeing mostly what I'd expect as the OS version (fedora15 for F15, rhel6 for CentOS 6.3 - but generic26 for F17): Fedora 15: Name : Fedora-15-i386 Architecture : i386 TFTP Boot Files : {} Breed : redhat Comment : fedora15.1 Fetchable Files : {} Initrd : /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/Fedora-15-i386/images/pxeboot/initrd.img Kernel : /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/Fedora-15-i386/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz Kernel Options : {} Kernel Options (Post Install) : {} Kickstart Metadata : {'tree': 'http://@@http_server@@/cblr/links/Fedora-15-i386'} Management Classes : [] OS Version : fedora15 Owners : ['admin'] Red Hat Management Key : <<inherit>> Red Hat Management Server : <<inherit>> Template Files : {} CentOS 6.3: Name : CentOS-6.3-x86_64 Architecture : x86_64 TFTP Boot Files : {} Breed : redhat Comment : rhel6.3 Fetchable Files : {} Initrd : /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/CentOS-6.3-x86_64/images/pxeboot/initrd.img Kernel : /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/CentOS-6.3-x86_64/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz Kernel Options : {} Kernel Options (Post Install) : {} Kickstart Metadata : {'tree': 'http://@@http_server@@/cblr/links/CentOS-6.3-x86_64'} Management Classes : [] OS Version : rhel6 Owners : ['admin'] Red Hat Management Key : <<inherit>> Red Hat Management Server : <<inherit>> Template Files : {} But for Fedora 17: Name : Fedora-17-x86_64 Architecture : x86_64 TFTP Boot Files : {} Breed : redhat Comment : Fetchable Files : {} Initrd : /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/Fedora-17-x86_64/images/pxeboot/initrd.img Kernel : /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/Fedora-17-x86_64/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz Kernel Options : {} Kernel Options (Post Install) : {} Kickstart Metadata : {} Management Classes : [] OS Version : generic26 Owners : ['admin'] Red Hat Management Key : <<inherit>> Red Hat Management Server : <<inherit>> Template Files : {} I have a script to perform the imports - so its mostly the same call... Any ideas why OS version is coming in as generic26 versus being fedora17??? I not the comment is also blank as well for the Fedora 17 import... Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks!

Cobbler custom actions after installation

by Jakov Sosic

Hi. I want to run some custom actions on the cobbler machine after system is deployed. For example, every system installation will generate new host DSA/RSA keys and that's why I need to remove entry from known_hosts for reinstalled system. Also, I want to remove localhost.localdomain puppet client certificate which is generated at every reinstall because of my current DHCP/DNS/ISO setup... Is there a way to run custom scripts? It would be cool if I could send some parameter to the script from cobbler, for example system's name.
