Thanks for the replies. Most of these seem doable - I'd have to consider
how we'd accomplish the templated scripts in Foreman, as it sounds like you
can only have a single script and we use several of these calls during an
installation.
My biggest concern would be around the dual-homed networks.
- Do we have to have Foreman control DNS? We already have DNS automation
tools and have no wish to port that over to Foreman
- We don't route any services to the prov vlan - including DNS. We make
dhcp/tftp/http available to it, but those are all served by the provision
Cobble server. Will that still work?
- We only use DHCP for the provisioning process. Everything else has static
IPs. I assume that's ok, as long as we let Foreman control the DHCP server
on the prov vlan
- Do we install one Foreman server for the entire DC in our case and
replace the Cobbler servers with Smart proxies or would we need a Foreman
server to replace each existing Cobbler server?
Thanks again - much appreciated
