Hi all, Recently I discovered cobbler. First of all, a word of thanks for creating this great product.
Next to cobbler I have also used koan to deploy vmware server guest systems on vmware server. I tried it with vmware server 2.0 to see if it would be supported ... as you might know it is not (yet), since the command line interface to create virtual machines has changed. With some 'hacking' it is possible to get it to work. However I broke the vmware server 1.0.x support with that. Before starting the task of integrating this properly in the koan code a couple of questions, based on what I noticed with testing: 1. On a number of places in the koan code checks are done for the libvirt api. Reading the libvirt documentation I did not find any reference to support for vmware now or in the future. In order to be able to use koan on systems < FC8 to install vmware guest it makes sense to remove these checks for vmware actions. Is there a reason for the checks in the current code? 2. Since the command syntax changed for vmware server it is necessary to be able to make the distinction between vmware server 1.0.x and vmware server 2.x. The best solution in my opinion seems to spli the --virt-type=vmware option in --virt-type=vmwares1 and virt-type=vmwares2. Does this make sense? 3. Is there a reason why the command syntax and help are different for cobbler and koan? Boris This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.
