Multiple architecture repo mirror
by Evan Sarmiento 23 Aug '16

23 Aug '16

Hi, According to the documentation, you can mirror repositories as shown here: http://cobbler.github.io/manuals/2.6.0/3/7_-_Package_Management_and_Mirrori… However, instead of mirroring multiple architectures like ‘x86_64’, ‘i386’, or even multiple versions of an operating system separately like ‘f12-i386-updates’, ‘f12-i386-extras' is there a way in Cobbler I can mirror ALL of these repos and push them to one locally stored directory so I can use the $releasever and $releasearch variables? Best, Evan

Enable UEFI Red Hat support on Cobbler (2.6.7) - HOW?
by Ž D 15 Aug '16

Hallo. I was successful in UEFI boot and install, here are details: 1) Cobbler server : 2.6.9 source: ?, ? build time: Fri Jun 12 07:42:24 2015 Cobbler is installed on Oracle Linux 6.6 2) I am installing Oracle Linux R6-U6-x86_64 on the Oracle Server x3-2 3) DHCP service is provided by another box, the config is: host my-hostname.domain.com { hardware ethernet 00:10:e0:aa:aa:aa; fixed-address 10.xx.xx.xx; next-server 10.yy.yy.yy; # my cobbler server filename "/grub/BOOTX64.efi"; } 4) How to find proper BOOTX64.efi file, read the doc: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37670_01/E41137/E41137.pdf See the paragraph 1.4.7 (starts on page 9), the page 10 talks about UEFI-based PXE client. This is the key: UEFI-based PXE clients can use the BOOTX64.efi boot loader, which is available as EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi from the Oracle Linux 6 Update 6 Media Pack DVD image. So I placed BOOTX64.efi in <my_cobbler_server>:/var/lib/tftpboot/grub/ 5) I also have the file splash.xpm.gz in <my_cobbler_server>:/var/lib/tftpboot/grub/ 6) The file /var/lib/tftpboot/grub/00:10:e0:aa:aa:aa looks like timeout=10 splashimage=(nd)/splash.xpm.gz title OL-R6-U6-x86_64-UEFI root (nd) kernel /images/OL-R6-U6-x86_64/vmlinuz ksdevice=bootif lang= text ks=http://my_cobbler_server/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/host_name initrd /images/OL-R6-U6-x86_64/initrd.img 7) The kickstart file is # ks for OL 6.6 UEFI install text url --url=http://10.yy.yy.yy/cobbler/links/OL-R6-U6-x86_64 lang en_US.UTF-8 keyboard us rootpw --iscrypted $1$zw2wh8P1$zZMsVBx4.HbZNxM8p1uPX1 firewall --disabled authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5 selinux --disabled timezone --utc America/Los_Angeles reboot bootloader --location=partition clearpart --all --initlabel part /boot/efi --fstype=vfat --size=200 --asprimary --ondisk=sda part /boot --fstype=ext4 --size=500 --label=/boot --asprimary --ondisk=sda part / --fstype=ext4 --size=8192 --grow --maxsize=51200 --label=/ --ondisk=sda part /var --fstype=ext4 --size=4096 --label=/var --ondisk=sda part /u01 --fstype=ext3 --size=4096 --label=/u01 --ondisk=sda part swap --size=16384 --label=swap --ondisk=sda %packages @base @core device-mapper-multipath kexec-tools net-tools pciutils sysfsutils system-config-kickstart wget lsscsi nfs-utils 8) Works for me. Let me know if you need any other detail? -- Thanks, Zarko

Hi all, please have a look into my configurations. I have been running cobbler sync, restarted cobblerd, booted machine etc. but nothing helped to get the etcd.kubernetes.internal zone working (no file created in /etc/named/). Any help is appreciated.
