overriding name_servers_search
by Robert Jacobson
I'd like to override a profile-set variable for one particular system,
but I can't figure out how to do it. For the system, I want to
completely replace name_servers_search with "foo.com", but when I put in
'foo.com' for name_servers_search for the system (using the web
interface), it just appended it to the profile's value list rather than
replacing it:
# cobbler profile dumpvars --name=feds | grep name_servers_search
default_name_servers_search : []
name_servers_search : ['gsfc.nasa.gov', 'nasa.gov']
# cobbler system dumpvars --name=test | grep name_servers_search
default_name_servers_search : []
name_servers_search : ['gsfc.nasa.gov', 'nasa.gov', 'foo.com']
Platform: cobbler-2.2.3-2.el6.noarch, cobbler-web-2.2.3-2.el6.noarch
(EPEL) on RHEL6.4

Cobbler Power commands
by David Leach
Hi,
We're trying to use cobbler as a tool to power down hosts and power them
up in mass whenever we need to do an image update or just for a downtime.
One issue which is a little frustrating is if you run a power command on
a bunch of hosts and one fails, the command fails at that point. I know
there was a feature request made 6 months ago to fix this, but I was
wondering if there was a work around for this.

Can't find /tmp/pre_install_network_config error on kickstart in F18
by Bret Wortman
I've been trying to troubleshoot this on F18/Cobbler 2.2.3 for two days now
and could use whatever input anyone might have.
I'm using a modified version of the sample.ks kickstart which works great
on F17 and, by copying it and changing the repo stanzas is otherwise
unchagned for F18. I get the above error when booting.
Switch to Ctrl-Alt-F2 and in that console I can confirm that the file isn't
there. I try the commands in the %pre section that are supposed to create
it and discover that "ifconfig" isn't in my path. It doesn't seem to exist
anywhere in the execution environment my system is sitting in at that point
(or in that console, anyway).
I know the MAC is correct -- is this really a problem in that F18 just
doesn't have ifconfig available, or is something else amiss?
Thanks!

Cannot get everything started on a new buildout
by Dan White
I have two Cobbler Servers - one old one I set up almost two years ago, and another one I am currently trying to build from scratch.
The problem is that I cannot get the new one started up properly.
Cobbler 2.2.3 on 64 bit RHEL 5
Here are some of the problems :
I am not using RHEL's httpd due to local practice of having multiple "stove-pipe" web stacks on each server.
The apache instance is in /opt/site/cobbler/data/apache instead of /var/www
On the old Cobbler, I used RHEL-httpd and sym-linked /var/www/(cobbler/ cobbler_webui_content) to another partition.
On the old one, I was running everything from the hardware IP
On the new one, I am using a vhost
On the old one, netstat says I have one httpd listening on <host-ip>:80, and one listening on 0.0.0.0:443
On the new one, I have one httpd listening on <host-ip>:80, and one listening on <host-ip>:443
Both have a listener on 127.0.0.1:25151 (python)
The first problem is that everything works on the old one and on the new one, I get this:
[root ~]# cobbler sync
httpd does not appear to be running and proxying cobbler, or SELinux is in the way. Original traceback:

Unable to koan ANY profiles.

Not sure whats wrong, imported SL 6.3 like I have many times in the past without issue. Go to koan SL 6.3 and now I get

if (self.image is not None) and (pd["image_type"] == "virt-clone"):
Not sure WTF happened, but NONE of my profiles work now every single one tosses the above koan error. I can list profiles, dumpvars even gen ks without issue.
Any thoughts before I deep six this ~2 year old Cobbler install???

No more tabs, cannot add/remove repos via web interface
by Orion Poplawski
Running:
server: cobbler-2.4.0-beta3.el6.noarch
client: Fedora 18 with Firefox
For a while now (don't remember when it changed), I cannot add or remove items
from the repos list on a profile.
Also, it seems I no longer have separate tabs, but just a list of all the options.
Anyone else seeing this?
