Hmmmm … so if I have 12 blades to build, is there a quicker way to do this? I would like to boot from ISO (the same ISO for all 12 systems) and have cobbler take over. I don’t think this will work without PXE based on what you’re telling me.
Regards,
Sam

The default behavior of the ISO is to boot from local media after a delay
Look at a file : <iso root>/isolinux/isolinux.cfg

When the system boots up and loads the ISO, I thought it would automatically force the system to load a profile. In theory since there is no OS installed, it will start the OS installation without having you select from the cobbler menu.
Is this feature not available for non-pxe boot?

It’s there …
[root@phl-00-cobbler iso]# cobbler profile list
ORACLE

What does the command "cobbler profile list" return ?
If one of the lines is not "ORACLE", then that is your first problem.

Not sure what I’m missing but I’m attempting to automatically install the OS with our new blade systems using a cobbler iso (generated by buildiso). The cobbler menu shows up with the list of available systems, but I want it to automatically install when it loads the ISO. I don’t have DHCP hence the use of the buildiso command.
I added a new system by running the following command. Please note, the install works fine when I select the system but that’s not what I want. Notice I have the “mac” specified and I went as far as using the mac address of eth0 as the name for the system. Both times, I’m greeted with the menu and I’m forced to choose.
cobbler system add --name=blade1 –mac=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX --profile=ORACLE --interface=bond0 --interface-type=bond --bonding-opts="mode=6 miimon=1000" --ip-address=172.31.20.45 --hostname=blade1.domain.com --ksmeta='server_type=DB disk_layout=BLADES_ORACLE' --subnet=255.255.255.0 --gateway=172.31.20.250 --kopts='ksdevice=eth0 ip=172.31.20.45 netmask=255.255.255.0 dns=172.31.10.220 gateway=172.31.20.250' --static=1
