i've found that when using the webui to edit / add ksmeta values that include
spaces, i have to enclose them in quotes. when you reload the page however the
quotes aren't saved, so every time you load a page with spaces in the values
you have to re-add the quotes.
in my case it happens when i
i usually pull the value of $static_ip from cobbler into a local variable
first. something like this:
-
#set $static_ip = $getVar('$static_ip','')
-
then reference the variable later like this:
-
# Static network configuration.
...SNIP...
d-i netcfg/get_ipaddress string $static_ip
On a cisco switch:
First trace the Ethernet cable from the problem server to the port on the
switch and note it down.
Log into the switch and run something similar to this:
---
enable
configure terminal
interface INT_TYPEPORT_NUM
switchport mode access
spanning-tree portfast
exit
exit
write
I too have run into this issue. Just like Orion, the solution for me was
'spanning-tree portfast' on the switch port itself on our Cisco switches. The
issue seems to be compounded by the fact that kickstart installs seem to insist
on requesting a DHCP address 3 times during the install
This works for me on Cobbler 2.0.3.1

I just recently migrated to a new server using replication. I used a similar
command to what you listed below:
cobbler replicate --master=$MASTER_SERVER_IP --distros=* --profiles=* --repos=*
--systems=*
I think replicate syncs all data by default unless you use the --omit-data
option.
The
Kickstart installs don't use .repo files for OS installs. It uses the 'repo'
directive inside the kickstart itself. You can see this when running `cobbler
system getks --name=cobbler_system_name`. I usually put something like this in
the packages section of kickstarts to prevent unwanted

you could manually, or via a script, insert the appropriate entries into

this profile for all systems that were not provisioned by cobbler in
hmm… i’m not sure if baremetal systems w/o an OS will try to pull a DHCP

checking your DHCPD logs my help answer that question.
if you have managed switches, such as a cisco catalyst, you can log into the

there's a wiki article on this subject:
https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/MultipleCobblerServerAddresses
i'm guessing that the DNS trick mentioned is alluding to setting up a couple
different 'views' in BIND with different A records for each subnet pointing to
the 'next-server' value used
I currently use LDAP against AD for the cobbler web interface. However, I use
the 'base_dn' and OUs in AD to limit the scope of who can authenticate, not
users.conf. I do use users.conf for ownership of objects though.
Unfortunately I've been unable to get TLS encrypted LDAP to work, despite
just to add another recommendation:
you could look into using Cobbler's triggers to run a script (sh, python, perl
etc..) that does whatever you want done after cobbler completes the action to
which the trigger is tied.

There's a lot of water under that particular bridge. However, I can tell you
that I also looked into using the SCM option in Cobbler to use SVN and for
whatever reason I was not able to get it to work either. What I did do to hack
around the issue was write a bash trigger that runs after

I think you should be able to set 'redhat_management_type' to 'off' in the
cobbler config file. There are a couple other RHEL key settings in there as
well. You may need to restart cobbler after making any config changes.

we also had a need for identifying VMware systems, primarily for

glad to share it.
i'm basically using a specific file to determine whether this is the first boot

will notice the existence of the file and skip the first boot portion of the
