[Patch] WebUI distro delete is always recursive
by Vreman, Peter
The distro delete is currently always recursive. The result is that all profiles and systems with the distro are always deleted.
Attached patch fixes the recursive check and made image/profile/distro delete operations consistent.

Peter

RHEL 5.3/Cobbler breaking.
by Ashley Penney
I just wanted to drop a quick mail to the list to see if anyone else
has tried testing cobbler on RHEL 5.3beta, and what your experiences
were? For me it completely broke and won't allow me to fetch
kickstart files via the web interface (giving a mod_python) error.
Has anyone encountered the same thing?
Thanks,

libvirt power management support using /usr/bin/virsh
by James Laska
Greetings,
The following changes provide power management over libvirt managed guests. The template will support xen and qemu guests, both local and remote. The --power-pass field is not supported for /usr/bin/virsh operations. Cobbler users wishing to enable password-less power management of remotely managed libvirt guests should setup ssh keys between the two systems.
So far I've tested locally managed qemu systems:
# cobbler system edit --name vguest1 --power-type virsh --power-id vguest1
# cobbler system poweron --name vguest1
cobbler power configuration is:
type : virsh
address:
user :
id : vguest1
- /usr/bin/virsh --connect qemu:///system start vguest1
Domain vguest1 started
# cobbler system poweroff --name vguest1
cobbler power configuration is:
type : virsh
address:
user :
id : vguest1
- /usr/bin/virsh --connect qemu:///system destroy vguest1
Domain vguest1 destroyed
As well as remotely managed qemu systems:
# cobbler system edit --name vguest2 --power-type virsh --power-id vguest2 --power-address qemu+ssh:dell-t5400.test.redhat.com
# cobbler system poweron --name vguest2
cobbler power configuration is:
type : virsh
address: qemu+ssh:dell-t5400.test.redhat.com
user :
id : vguest2
- /usr/bin/virsh --connect qemu+ssh://dell-t5400.test.redhat.com/system start vguest2
root(a)dell-t5400.test.redhat.com's password:
Domain vguest2 started
# cobbler system poweroff --name vguest2
cobbler power configuration is:
type : virsh
address: qemu+ssh:dell-t5400.test.redhat.com
user :
id : vguest2
- /usr/bin/virsh --connect qemu+ssh://dell-t5400.test.redhat.com/system destroy vguest2
root(a)dell-t5400.test.redhat.com's password:
Domain vguest2 destroyed
Questions/comments appreciated.

cobbler/koan+F10 Network Manager
by Ronald J. Yacketta
Hello all!
Let me preface the following with : Not sure if this is a cobbler / koan
issue or a F10 issue
Imported F10 into cobbler and created a f10.ks (copy of my f9.ks with a
repo location change), everything looks fine from the cobbler side
[cobbler]# cobbler profile report --name=f9-i386
profile : f9-i386
distro : f9-i386
dhcp tag : default
kernel options : {}
post kernel options : {'console': ['ttyS1,57600', 'tty1']}
kickstart : /etc/cobbler/fc9.ks
ks metadata : {}
owners : ['admin']
repos : []
server : <<inherit>>
virt bridge : br9
virt cpus : 1
virt file size : 7
virt path : /mnt/os1
virt ram : 1024
virt type : qemu
[cobbler]# cobbler profile report --name=f10-i386
profile : f10-i386
distro : f10-i386
dhcp tag : default
kernel options : {}
post kernel options : {}
kickstart : /etc/cobbler/f10.ks
ks metadata : {}
owners : ['admin']
repos : []
server : <<inherit>>
virt bridge : br9
virt cpus : 1
virt file size : 7
virt path : /mnt/os1
virt ram : 1024
virt type : qemu
I can kick of a koan for the f9-i386 cobbler profile and everything runs
as expected, when I the f10-i386 profile the install hangs setting up
eth0 via NM (Netowkr Manager) which errors out and gives a retry button.
Clicking the retry button kicks F10 in the arse, eth0 is configured, a
DHCPREQUEST is fired off and everything goes smooth from there.
Went as far as doing a virt-install and compared the auto generated
anaconda.ks to my f10.ks and found no diff with the network setup.
Any thoughts?

default kernel options
by Vreman, Peter
I've been playing with making an unattended installer for the HP Proliant Firmware CD.
I'm adding a distro with the following kernel options:
"rw root=/dev/ram0 loglevel=3 ramdisk_size=320000 init=/bin/init ide=nodma ide=noraid pnpbios=off media=usb CDVOLUME=HPFWUP$nodotver"
But the generated PXE configuration adds a lot of additional options that are kickstart specific:
"append initrd=/images/HP_Firmware_8.30/initrd-8.30.img ksdevice=bootif lang= CDVOLUME=HPFWUP830 loglevel=3 text pnpbios=off syslog=10.227.128.209:25150 init=/bin/init rw kssendmac media=usb ramdisk_size=320000 ide=nodma ide=noraid root=/dev/ram0 IMAGENAME=bcsia74 auto=true url=http://10.227.128.209/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/bcsia74"
Is it possible to remove the redhat specific kernel options from the global settings file and and make the ksdevice, kssendmac, etc. kernel options only for the distro with the redhat breed?
Is it possible to add a livecd distro breed that can be used for booting any firmware or other livecd?

Peter

External kickstart files
by Chris O'Regan
I am trying to create a system entry that uses an external kickstart
file however the pxe file that is created is has "ks" referring to the
cobbler service, that is:
ks=http://.../cblr/svc/op/ks/system/mysystem
If I go to this url, it returns:
# kickstart is sourced externally: http://.../path/to/mysystem.ks
Is there any way I can have cobbler put the url to the external
kickstart in the pxe file instead?
This is v1.2.8.
Thanks,
Chris

Cobbler 1.3.2 (dev) kickstart generation not working

This is also ticket 313 in trac:
Ok so I've pulled the latest HEAD (commit

built an rpm for cobbler 1.3.2, and installed it on a RHEL 5.2 server.
