I have number of systems that are configured with static IP addresses, and I'd like to have the network settings inserted into the "append" line in the Cobbler-generated yaboot.conf files. I found Ticket #21, closed years ago, that states that an '@@variablename@@' syntax is honored in templated contexts, but when I tried it, the '@@var@@' references showed up unchanged in the /var/lib/tftpboot/etc/xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx file. Has another syntax superseded '@@var@@' for this purpose?I believe if you do 'cobbler system edit --name FOO --static True' you should get what you want.
That doesn't appear to be the case; here's the yaboot.conf that gets generated for one of the systems in question:
# yaboot.conf generated by cobblerinit-message="Cobbler generated yaboot configuration.\nHit <TAB> for boot options"
timeout=80
delay=100
default=linux
image=/images/fedora10-ppc64/vmlinuz
label=linux
initrd=/images/fedora10-ppc64/ramdisk.image.gz
append=" ksdevice=bootif lang= console=hvc0 text serial kssendmac
ks=http://x.x.x.x/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/ps710-01";
and (parts of) the corresponding system record: [root@gw2 etc]# cobbler system report --name ps710-01 Name : ps710-01 Comment : Gateway : x.x.x.1 Hostname : ps710-01 ... IP Address : x.x.x.251 Static : True Subnet : 255.255.255.0 Thanks, -Bryson
