Hi List,
I’ve got a physical system that we’re trying to cobbler build, on a management
network and then pivot over to using a bonded interface pair for the production
side.
Looking at the kickstart it should work correctly Post install on the bond (or
at least will with some tuneing).

Let us know if/when you have potential patches as I for one would be interested
as it would help solve some of my working with windows problems that come up
every once and a while.
Happy to help review concepts and patches as needed.

Using a clonezilla image you should be able to build an image based system. I
haven't looked into it deeply but if I recall correctly most of the hooks are
there to do it.
Having built hpc systems in the vfx world, it is way easier to build using
installers for the reasons highlighted earlier
Are you using a unix extended attributes directory or just an out of box
directory?

I haven't done it in a while but this blog looks pretty sane for the process I
have used before.

Are you running nfs? Is it possible you had a random collision with portmap/rpc?
Try a 'tcpdump -iany port 25151'
Is there any firewall running?

One other option is to request the remote vlan/network get a dhcp helper
pointed from the layer 3 switch/router(s) to your cobbler server. This should
allow you to get a copy of the dhcp calls and respond if required (like setting
next-server for machines you manage)
Most switches allow multipl

Hi David
Which power plugins are you using as fence scripts? I know a few of them can
occasionally cause problems as well. Also which version are you running at the
moment for cobbler?
Do you have any logs you can share?
Thanks,

I'm not going to be much help on this, but one thought I would have is that
you're not checking the return of the result call, which could be trying to

At the moment the best way would be to run something like clonezilla with an
automated extract of an existing image.

Based on the current infrastructure not easily at the moment.
I've got a note on my task list to look at what it would take to add the pieces
that windows waik needs, but it's been on my list for a while as I'm not
needing to do many windows installs these days.

The other option is to ignore koan all together and just embed the power path
for the vm into the power id in cobbler and use one of the fence ing programs.
For VMware I generally take this approach if I can get access to a stable power
path (ie noone else is changing folder structures on your v
Personally I would just use a tag and in the partitioning section test if that
tag is set or not. It gets a bit more interesting when you start merging roles
so keeping each of the tags as atomic as possible is useful. But I have had to

Have you considered having the dhcpd server send the ddns info directly to

That power stuff is unfortunate timing for me. I actually just had to

I recently just installed 2.2,2 and memtest was auto detected after I installed

You might want to give that a shot as well.

Thanks Greg.
Exactly what I was looking for.
I'm needing to do this to wrap package groups together, and avoid having to
diff too many lists of packages for each type of machine we build.

Hi Everyone,
For some reason, I'm having trouble crafting a snippet to use the
management classes in a script. (Version 2.2.2)
I'm basicly using the management classes to install specific sets of
packages, and I was sure I had done this before at an old location but
can't remember how I did it.
Hi Stuart,
This sounds like it might be related to some of the issues we were seeing
in 2.2.1. Can you try updating to 2.2.2 and give that a try? I believe it
should be available in the testing repos now.
Unless James, or someone else sees something I'm missing in this.
Thanks,
James
On Thu,
Thanks James, that's great news.
Am I to assume that we are recommending 2.2.1-1 for all stable
installations at this point, and 2.3.1 is a development build only? and as
such not really recommended for production usage?
Thanks,

Hi Kirk,
If you're looking to do both passthrough (kerb) and a service type user,

I've been planing on re-implementing it into the core directly, but haven't

You should also be able to extract the kickstarts from cobbler via the web

Hi All,
I was also looking at doing similar when Janet brought it up earlier last year,
but in my investigation, it seems that Windows install systems (system center
etc) really want to use the UUID from the mainboard to track it's installation,
with the mac as a secondary less reliable key. (

Hm, that's different.
I do however know that Dell and Redhat have been working on some methods of
using DMI / smbios labeling to keep the port names on the back of the
system the same as the system's actual ethernet ports. I've got more than
a couple boxes where this caused a bit of head
