Hey guys, In the course of my experimenting I tried using a default profile (rhel62) that was created when I imported my centOS distro.
That almost worked! :) [root@LCENT01:~] #koan --virt --server cobbler --profile rhel62-i386 --virt-name vm01 --nogfx - looking for Cobbler at http://cobbler:80/cobbler_api - reading URL: http://192.168.1.36/cblr/svc/op/ks/profile/rhel62-i386 install_tree: http://192.168.1.36/cblr/links/rhel62-i386 libvirtd (pid 2801) is running... - warning: old python-virtinst detected, a lot of features will be disabled - adding disk: /var/lib/libvirt/images//vm01-disk0 of size 5 (driver type=raw) - ['virt-install', '--connect', 'qemu:///system', '--name', 'vm01', '--ram', '512', '--vcpus', '1', '--autostart', '--nographics', '--hvm', '--location', 'http://192.168.1.36/cblr/links/rhel62-i386/', '--arch', 'i386', '--os-variant', 'rhel6', '--disk', 'path=/var/lib/libvirt/images//vm01-disk0,size=5', '--network', 'bridge=xenbr0', '--wait', '0', '--noautoconsole'] usage: virt-install --name NAME --ram RAM STORAGE INSTALL [options] virt-install: error: no such option: --autostart command failed (2) Now I'm not 404'ing (thank god) but I am still getting hung up on the --autostart 'bug'. James gave me a line in IRC last night on how to work around this but sadly I've closed my IRC client and I don't remember what it is. Could I please get a reminder on that? I'll be sure to stick it in my notes (aka wiki) this time. Here's the line I used to create the profile that I was having a problem with by the way: cobbler profile add --name=xen32 --distro=rhel62-i386 --kickstart=/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/xen.ks --virt-file-size=10 --virt-ram=256 --virt-type=xenpv --virt-cpus=1 --virt-path=/mnt/store/xen/ --repos="Centos6-UPDATES Centos6-EPEL Centos6-REMI" Not sure if how I created the profile might have been adding to the troubles I was experiencing last night. Also speaking to Bob's point I also manage DNS separately from cobbler and have a bind9 setup with forward and reverse zones that never seems to give me trouble. It's one of the most reliable setups in this environment, thankfully! Thanks once again!
