Add support for power control via fence_lpar
by James Laska 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

Greetings, The attached patches add support for power cycling systems controlled by the /sbin/fence_lpar command (provided by the cman package). Since Hardware Management Consoles (HMC) typically manage more than one system, the power-id must be a colon delimited string consisting of: <system>:<partition>. Where <system> specifies the name of the managed system to control, and <partition> is the name of the desired logical partition on <system>. An example execution can be observed below (note that the modules/cli*py patch must be applied for the --power-pass and --power-id arguments to be properly parsed). # cobbler system edit --name ibm-505-lp1 --power-type lpar --power-address ibm-p5-hmc.test.redhat.com --power-user hscroot --power-pass XXXXXXX --power-id 505:lp1 # cobbler system reboot --name ibm-505-lp1 cobbler power configuration is: type : lpar address: ibm-p5-hmc.test.redhat.com user : hscroot id : 505:lp1 - /sbin/fence_lpar -a ibm-p5-hmc.test.redhat.com -l hscroot -p abc1234 -x -s 505 -n lp1 -o off Success: Powered OFF cobbler power configuration is: type : lpar address: ibm-p5-hmc.test.redhat.com user : hscroot id : 505:lp1 - /sbin/fence_lpar -a ibm-p5-hmc.test.redhat.com -l hscroot -p abc1234 -x -s 505 -n lp1 -o on Success: Powered ON Comments welcome!

Debian cobbler import
by Chris Sarginson 18 Nov '08

Hi guys, I've just tried doing an import of an ubuntu CD after downloading the latest cobbler from git and got the following: [Errno 36] File name too long: '/var/lib/cobbler/config/distros.d/ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-ubuntu-install-i386' Can anyone point me in the right direction with regards to fixing this? This is on a Centos 5 box if that matters. Chris

[PATCH] Correct the append_line logic for ppc64 systems. Add and remove PXE targets for all configured interfaces on configured ppc systems (regardless whether they have an ip or hostname).

DHCP for more than 1 device
by Tom Brown 18 Nov '08

18 Nov '08

Hi Using DHCP here from cobbler for PXE installs no problem, is it also possible to have cobbler do DHCP for other devices, ie the remote management cards as people here seem to leave them to DHCP and it would be nice to have cobbler handle all that. Having a remote management card get an IP from DHCP seems odd to me but as long as cobbler pins the IP via mac etc as it would for booting a host then i guess it can be done, and doubly so if cobbler also handles DNS as the rm address and machine address can all come from the same bind. Does this make sense and can it be done at the moment? thanks

[PATCH] PPC is strange. RHEL provides a 'ppc' tree that is intended only for ppc64 systems (typically IBM PowerPC). Fedora provides a 'ppc' tree that includes ppc32 and ppc64 kernels. Fedora also builds a 'ppc64' tree which contains *only* ppc64 packaging. To my knowledge this is not supported and only provided as rawhide updates (not officially released).
by James Laska 18 Nov '08

18 Nov '08

The included changes add support for a new architecture 'ppc64'. Any cobbler imports on a ppc tree will detect and add the appropriate distro's and profiles for the ppc32 or ppc64 if applicable.

Problem running cobbler reposync (1.2.9)

Power commands
by Bill Peck 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

Here is a sample of the different power commands we use internally. You can see most options are the same but some require plug number or domain or blade. Some don't support reboot so its probably best if we do the "reboot" ourselves and just call off and then on. /sbin/fence_bullpap -a mgmt.example.com -l Administrator -p PASSWORD -d Domaine2-8CPU -o reboot || exit 1 /sbin/fence_wti -a mgmt.example.com -n PLUGNUMBER -p PASSWORD -o reboot || exit 1 /usr/local/sbin/fence_apc_snmp -a mgmt.example.com -n PLUGNUMBER -o reboot /usr/bin/sudo /sbin/ether-wake -i eth0 HOSTNAME.com /sbin/fence_ipmilan -i mgmt.example.com -l root -p PASSWORD -o reboot || exit 1 /sbin/fence_drac -a mgmt.example.com -l root -p PASSWORD -m Server-10 -o reboot || exit 1 /usr/bin/ipmitool -H mgmt.example.com -U root -P PASSWORD power off; sleep 10 \ /usr/bin/ipmitool -H mgmt.example.com -U root -P PASSWORD power on || exit 1 /sbin/fence_ilo -a mgmt.example.com -l Administrator -p password -o reboot || exit 1 /sbin/fence_rsa -a mgmt.example.com -l USERID -p PASSW0RD -o Reboot || exit 1

(new thread) power management
by Michael DeHaan 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

If we had the following commands: cobbler system edit --name=foo --poweron-command="..." cobbler system edit --name=foo --poweroff-command="..." # we will probably also have a defaultpoweron type command in settings if we do this to avoid repeated entry cobbler system edit --name=foo --netboot-enabled=true cobbler system power --name=foo --power=on # or maybe reboot cobbler system power --name=foo --power=off Would that work for people? What power management systems do you use, and if so, what are the commands you typically run (give bash examples) to power on, off, and reboot nodes? If we have the above it would be very easy to expose in the webapp, though I'd like to get it right in the CLI first. If you can help supply me with some background info, we can see about getting this done. I think the ability to be able to reinstall a node without having to go somewhere else to power cycle it would be very useful. --Michael
