This morning I had a quick idea that I thought I might throw out and see if anyone else could use it. Basically the idea is having cobbler provision storage for hosts based upon management classes or some other configuration management construct. Cobbler would need to be taught about accessing SAN and NAS devices to construct volumes and SAN luns, and then have those volumes mounted and/or formatted during the provisioning process of the host. Anyone think it is a good idea or have any comments on it?
Not a bad idea, other than the fact that no company I've ever worked at would allow the linux server read/write access to the SAN/NAS devices :)
You don't have admin nodes for netapps? It is the best way to manage them.
