David, This would likely be server in /etc/cobbler/settings
server: 192.168.20.123 William -----Original Message----- From: David Lee [mailto:david....@ecmwf.int] Sent: September-19-16 11:32 AM To: cobbler mailing list <cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org> Subject: [cobbler] Second DHCP network? Cobbler folks, RHEL6; cobbler 2.6.5 (yes, I know it's old!) I have a feeling this ought to be a trivial question, but I can't find the answer. We have been using Cobbler for several years. (Indeed, I've even contributed a little to the documentation a few years ago.) That usage has been over a single "provisioning" interface on a single provisioning network (similar to "10.old.0.0" with the server address "10.old.srv.addr" and that same value being in the "settings" field "next_server:"). Very simple. Works well. We are adding a second such network over another interface ("10.new.0.0"). When I PXE boot a client (say "new-client") over this new network, the TFTP stuff works fine. But I then get "error downloading kickstart file" which includes the URL of the server's *old* interface (on the original network). When I do cobbler cobbler system getks --name=new-client the output is full of references to the *old* network, instead of the new, such as: # Use network installation url --url=http://10.old.srv.addr/cblr/links/rhel67-x86_64 # If any cobbler repo definitions were referenced in the kickstart profile, include them here. repo --name=el6-x86_64-local --baseurl=http://10.old.srv.addr/local/el6/x86_64 ... That "10.old.srv.addr" should be the "10.new.srv.addr". There are no references to the old address in the client's "system", or its profile or the Cobbler "foo.ks" kickstart template. Yet something, somewhere, somehow is clinging tenaciously to the old network. The "dhcp.template" contains: subnet 10.old.foo.0 netmask 255.255.252.0 { ... next-server $next_server; <-- presumably using the "next_server" from "settings" } subnet 10.new.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 { ... #next-server $next_server; next-server 10.new.srv.addr; <-- explicit reference to new network's server address } The "/etc/cobbler/settings" file still has: next_server: 10.old.srv.addr but we want to keep this for the time being to continue to serve our existing estate. Any clues, please? If the answer is "not available in 2.6.5 but is available later", then I'll set about planning an upgrade. -- David Lee -- ECMWF _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list -- cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org To unsubscribe send an email to cobbler-le...@lists.fedorahosted.org _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list -- cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org To unsubscribe send an email to cobbler-le...@lists.fedorahosted.org
