Hi,
I tried to import Dell's custom ESXi 5.5 image today but it failed. I'm
guessing the signatures I'm using isn't right for the Dell respin but I
don't know how to generate the proper signature. Is that indeed the
problem, and if so, how do I fix the signatures to work?
Here's what I tried :
This is on RHEL6.5 with cobbler-2.4.0-1 from EPEL
* Added the bootcfg_esxi55.template from
https://gist.github.com/relistan/7794032 to /etc/cobbler/pxe
* Replaced distro_signatures.json with the one at
https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/raw/master/config/distro_signatures.json
* Mounted the Dell ISO image :
mount -o loop
/home/rjacobson/VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.5.0-1331820.x86_64-Dell_Customized_A01.iso
/mnt/loop
* cobbler import --name esxi5.5-dell_A01 --path /mnt/loop
I get these errors:
http://pastebin.com/JX5pMNJk
The final error being:
No signature matched in /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/esxi5.5-dell_A01-x86_64
!!! TASK FAILED !!!

Finally cracked it today!
So there are two files needed to be updated. The file exist in github
- and need to be updated on your server manually.
So first download to a safe place the following files:
* https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/raw/master/config/distro_signatures.json
* https://gist.github.com/relistan/7794032 - you need
*bootcfg_esxi55.template*
distro_signatures.json replaces the existing files
/etc/cobbler/distro_signatures.json and
/var/lib/cobbler/distro_signatures.json
while bootcfg_esxi55.template becomes
/etc/cobbler/pxe/bootcfg_esxi55.template
I've not done anything other than import with these changes. However
Karl Matthias comments may help with subsequent steps.
Kind regards
Simon
