Using variables in snippets
by Stephen Berg (Contractor, Code 7320)
Spinning up on cobbler and running into a glitch that it most likely
just a syntax issue.
I've started by defining a kickstart that is just references to various
snippets I want to use. I then created the snippets, so far so good.
The kickstart gets generated but there's a couple variables not being
parsed. I think the issue is my snippets typically are just a section
of my kickstarts preceded by "#raw" and trailed by "#end raw". Is there
any way to get variables evaluated when they are inside that raw section?
I've used ${hostname}, \$(hostname) and $hostname in the snippets and
they always show up just like that, I need them to be the actual
hostname. Another one is a variable I define in kickstart metadata
using "proptag=123456", we use a six digit local property tag in a few
places during kickstart, that variable also isn't getting parsed.
