Or use Cobbler XML-RPC interface. I'd use CLI for quick work and Cobbler XML-RPC interface for serious automation.

    Dear Vatsal,
    The document provided at cobblerd.org <http://cobblerd.org> is
    sufficient for get running Cobbler.

    Here is are simple steps to install n configure Cobbler
    => Install your CentOS 6 system
    => For now you donot enable the selinux and iptables. Make sure
    these are
    disabled.
    => Cobbler need few extra packages to install, add EPEL
    repository in you
    system. Get the EPEL rpm here:
    http://epel.mirror.net.in/epel/6/i386/repoview/epel-release.html
    => Download the Cobbler package from here:
    http://www.cobblerd.org/downloads/packages.html
    => Now install cobbler with yum localinstall cobbler-xxxx it will
    also
    install all the dependency packages
    => After it installed everything, start the cobblerd daemon n run
    cobbler
    check command n check for the missing packages and configurations
    and fix it
    => Cobbler quick start guide is sufficient to configure and get
    running
    Cobbler. Follow the guide and configure Cobbler settings :
    http://www.cobblerd.org/manuals/quickstart/
    => If you like to use the web front-end, download the cobbler-web
    package
    and install it.

    Hoping this will help you.

    Regards

    Upstream has commited an option "always_write_dhcp_entries" for
    exactly
    this purpose.

    Are the interfaces in question set as "static"? Or, rather, *not*
    set as
    "static"?

    [DA] I'm pretty sure it is because the ipmi interface rely on
    DHCP still
    being there
    after the initial lease expires.  The configuration learned from
    DHCP is
    not persisted
    in linux for the ipmi interfaces.  You could argue that I could
    provision
    ipmi separately,
    but I'm hooked on cobbler and would like to keep all my
    provisioning in one
    place.

    [DA] Do you know what version of cobbler I need to pick up for this?

    It only was merged in April of this year, so I'm not sure it's in any
    release.
