cobbler import and available-as option
by Jason Graham 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

Hello, We use Artifactory to manage our artifact repository, including syncing our distro repos from the vendor. Up until now I have been using the import command to import form a mounted vendor DVD on our Cobbler server. What I would like to do it is have it always use our Artifactory server as that will always be available the systems we build. Per documentation the --available-as option should do this for me. Also, from documentation examples it shows that it should work over HTTP. The syntax I am using is... cobbler import --path=http://repo.myserver.com:/artifactory/rhel-6.3-base/x86_64/ --name=rhel6.3 --avaialble-as=http://repo.myserver.com: /artifactory/rhel-6.3-base/x86_64/ The import task fails. The log shows it tried to use rsync. Does it not work over http or am I using the wrong syntax?

Explicitly disable interface
by Mezei Zoltan 06 Nov '12

Hi, I've got a machine with 4 interfaces, eth0, eth1, eth2 and eth3. I'm trying to set up eth0-eth1 in bonding for one network, eth3 for another network with some static routes. This works perfectly. However when I first start the machine (with RHEL5 installed) kudzu finds eth2 and configures it to use DHCP. I don't want this to happen, so I'd like cobbler to assign a configuration to the interface with ONBOOT=no. Can it be achieved somehow? (I know that I can add a %post script to my kickstart that generates an ifcfg-eth2 file - but can this setup be achieved by cobbler only?) -- Zizi "...nálatok a cégnél múltból nagyon sok van..."

My bad. The entire thread is there. I just didn't look closely enough. -- Zack [...] An OT: why this thread is not archived in the http://www.mail-archive.com/cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org/? Anyone has an idea? -- Zack

Hi, Yeah, the home router as DHCP server works. But at work, we use both dnsmasq and ISC DHCP servers (on different subnets), but cobbler manages them. My home router has a Web UI, but it's not as flexible as I would like it to be. I have been searching alternatives, OpenSSH VPN looks promising, but I haven't had the setup to try it yet. Regards, -- Zack [...] I run ESXi 5 and intend to update it to 5.1 which should give me the new web based admin. Not sure if that is part of esxi. I run all my VMs on two networks. A private network interconnect between the machines and a "management" network that allows me to be able to ssh to the boxes that is connected to a network card and my home router which also does the dhcp. My pico cent's worth. Regards

Use ip instead of ifconfig
by Orion Poplawski 05 Nov '12

Fedora 18 doesn't have ifconfig in the installer (and perhaps not in installed system), need to use ip. -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA, Boulder Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion(a)nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.nwra.com

Cobbler import doesn't rsync
by Bret Wortman 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

I've got several .iso images that I'm trying to import into a new Cobbler instance. When I do this: # mount -o loop /images/Fedora-17-i386-DVD.iso /distro # cobbler import --name=F17 --path=/distro --arch=i386 task started: 2012-10-22_085223_import task started (id=Media import, time=Mon Oct 22 08:52;23 2012) !!! TASK FAILED !!! # cobbler.log shows that the rsync apparently didn't run because the very next command fails. If I copy the rsync command from the log and run it manually, it works just fine every time, and re-running the cobbler import after the manual rsync runs to completion. What might be causing the rsync within the import command to fail? -- Bret Wortman The Damascus Group Fairfax, VA http://bretwortman.com/ http://twitter.com/BretWortman
