July 2012 - cobbler-devel - Fedora Mailing-Lists

by Parthasarathy, Balaji (BCS, Cupertino, USA)

I'm using RHEL 6.2 + Cobbler 2.2.3. I was wondering if I can had create a distro json file (like the files found under /var/lib/cobbler/config/distros.d) to make cobbler recognize a distro. If that's possible, what are the sequence of steps needed to make that work? Similar question for profile json file. Thanks Balaji

New backend - mysql

by James Cammarata

I started testing this the other day, as a kind of proof of concept: https://github.com/jimi1283/cobbler/tree/mysql I am going to go ahead and merge this into master if anyone is interested in testing it. The schema is quite simple, and the general structure should work on just about any SQL database out there: http://pastie.org/4329642 The password is hard-coded in the module right now, so if you change it in the above schema be sure to change it in serializer_mysql.py too. So, what's the goal here? My intention is to enable better HA setups by having the data stored in an alternative backend, possibly even master/master setups. To that end, I will be working on solidifying the mysql/mongo backends for production use with 2.4.0, and possibly others. I'm really interested in adding support for postgresql, especially 9.2 which introduces the native JSON field type. Enjoy!

How to do cobbler import with --available-as using http/ftp

by Parthasarathy, Balaji (BCS, Cupertino, USA)

I'm running cobbler 2.0.11 on F16. When I try to cobbler import as follows: cobbler import --path=/tmp/RHEL6.2-Server-x86_64-Local --name=RHEL6.2-Server-x86_64-Remote --arch=x86_64 --available-as=http://<some_server>/distros/RHEL6.2-Server-x86_64 the command doesn't do anything. The below command works. cobbler import --path=/tmp/RHEL6.2-Server-x86_64-Local --name=RHEL6.2-Server-x86_64-Remote --arch=x86_64 --available-as="nfs://<some_server>:/var/www/html/distros/RHEL6.2-Server-x86_64" How do I do the same with http?

[PATCH] Installing debian/squeeze with koan

by Leonid Flaks

I had hard time installing debian/squeeze using koan 2.2.2-1.el6 on Scientific Linux 6.2 Now I upgraded koan to 2.2.3-2 from EPEL-testing and it works after I made 2 fixes that are included in this mail. First patch is probably more specific to my situation - I am using mirror that is not the same system as cobbler server, so I simply set metadata matching my local mirror. Original code uses cobbler' server address, which is hardcoded and adds the directory tree to it. The second patch is more important - I was getting error "ERROR Unknown OS variant 'squeeze'" without it. I am also modifying on some debian specific snippets to include them in preseed file - kickstart_done and the like. I will post them to the list once I have them finalized. -- Leon

[PATCH] network snippets for fedora 17

by Leonid Flaks

It appears that fedora 17 changed the output of ifconfig command. That broke two snippets that use it - pre_install_network_config and post_install_network_config. IFNAME variable is not set as a result. I made some patch to fix it, but it might need more testing - checked the rendered ks file, but did not do actual installation. Also, I am not sure if fedora 16 is affected also, so first I try to use original script, if the value is not set I assume it is fedora 17 and up and assign it differently. I did not bother with github on this - I have some problem forking, so the patch is attached here -- Leon
