Hi, When I run koan --list=profiles -s localhost I get the following error root@Config cobbler]# koan --list=profiles -s localhost - looking for Cobbler at http://localhost:25151/cobbler_api Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/koan/utils.py", line 542, in __try_connect xmlrpc_server.ping() File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/xmlrpclib.py", line 1199, in __call__ return self.__send(self.__name, args) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/xmlrpclib.py", line 1489, in __request verbose=self.__verbose File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/xmlrpclib.py", line 1243, in request headers ProtocolError: <ProtocolError for localhost:25151/cobbler_api: 404 Not Found> If I try to see if the server is running and listening, the server is ok [root@Config cobbler]# netstat -an | grep 25151 tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:25151 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:25151 127.0.0.1:57483 TIME_WAIT But returns nothing .

Any thoughts ? Thanks John

Windows install with Cobbler

by Janet.Conkle＠afscn.com

Has anyone been successful in installing windows using cobbler? I've found a few things on the net but nothing definitive. I need a tool that will install baseline images on lab boxes of both the linux and Windows flavors. Janet Conkle ETG x5343

Systems don't inherit profile's kickstart metadata?

by Joshua J. Kugler

So, this problem: Doing koan installs and allowing auto-register gives me a system with "localhost" as the host name and a weird floating point number as the system name in Cobbler, instead of what I expected, which was the value I provided to koan as --virt-name. lead to this attempted solution: I defined a system using the profile I wanted, and then try to run koan with --system=SYSTEM_NAME. which lead to this problem: System installs fine, but the kickstart meta data does not take affect; in this case, the chef job that was run when I installed via --profile was not run when I installed via a --system= that used the same previously mentioned profile. which lead to this attempt: koan --virt --profile=builder-el6-x86_64 --system=builder-el6-64-01\ --server=cobbler.example.com --virt-path=vg_group which lead to this interesting bug: - looking for Cobbler at http://cobbler.example.com:80/cobbler_api - reading URL: http://172.29.1.101/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/builder-el6- x86_64 Traceback (most recent call last): <snip> raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp) HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: NOT FOUND Why was it trying to pull the profile from the system section of the API? Can't you "override" the profile when you specify a system? This is Cobbler/Koan 2.2.2 by the way. Thanks for any help you can render! j -- Joshua J.

DHCP entries only get generated if netboot_enable = true

by Dan Rao

Hi all, I upgraded my Cobbler install to 2.2.3-1.el6 (from epel-testing) last night. Interestingly, when I run cobbler sync, only machines that have netboot enabled get entries in my dhcpd.conf. The offending line(s) appear to be in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/modules/manage_isc.py - lines 164-165 ---- if not interface["netboot_enabled"]: continue ---- (This is in the section that generates the ISC dhcpd config file). I commented those lines out to get my server back, but I was curious as to why that was there in the first place. Any insight would be appreciated! Best, Dan

[PATCH 0/5] Port koan from virtinst to virt-install command

by Cole Robinson

Koan uses the virtinst library for creating libvirt VMs. This is the same code that virt-install and virt-manager use for a lot of their libvirt interaction. Problem is this virtinst never should have been a public API, it was designed without much thought, and attempting to maintain back compat all these years hasn't really done much good. On the flip side, virt-install very much is intended to be a stable API: there are far more people out there using virt-install for scripting and we plan on keeping those scripts working as long as possible. virtinst should really be an implementation detail of virt-install. So along that line of thinking, I want to deprecate virtinst as a public API, and keep it private to virt-* tools. So here is a patch series swapping koan from virtinst to generating a virt-install command line. Ideally this patch makes it into fedora before march so I can deprecate virtinst in upcoming fedora 17. In the process, I add unit testing and unify most of the libvirt koan code, so hopefully things are in a better state than before. One fairly sizable caveat though is that I haven't _actually_ tested koan: unit tests prove it is doing something useful reality can always be different. Though judging by the state of the koan code I don't think it's getting a lot of usage, at least the imagecreate module has been outright broken for near 6 months. Cole Robinson (5): setup.py: Add stub 'test' command koan: vmware: Drop unused imports koan: Port xen creation to virt-install koan: Port qcreate to virt-install koan: port imagecreate to virt-install .gitignore | 1 + koan/imagecreate.py | 171 +-------------------------- koan/qcreate.py | 210 +-------------------------------- koan/virtinstall.py | 289 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ koan/vmwcreate.py | 7 +- koan/xencreate.py | 173 +-------------------------- setup.py | 51 ++++++++- tests/koan/__init__.py | 1 + tests/koan/virtinstall.py | 128 ++++++++++++++++++++ 9 files changed, 484 insertions(+), 547 deletions(-) create mode 100755 koan/virtinstall.py create mode 100644 tests/koan/__init__.py create mode 100644 tests/koan/virtinstall.py -- 1.7.7.5

Re: [cobbler] Quick Q regarding cobbler's Web UI HTTPS setup?

by Zack Perry

Hi James, Many thanks! That did the trick. Will move to 2.2.3 as soon as possible. Why it is still not in EPEL yet? A couple of more observations, after [root@sl0 cobbler]# git clone https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler.git [root@sl0 cobbler]# grep -i rpm * [...] README:To build the RPM, run "make". Developers, try "make webtest" to do a local "make install" that preserves your configuration. The above is incorrect. It should be make rpms. See below cat -n Makefile... 127 rpms: clean sdist 128 mkdir -p rpm-build 129 cp dist/*.gz rpm-build/ 130 rpmbuild --define "_topdir %(pwd)/rpm-build" \ 131 --define "_builddir %{_topdir}" \ 132 --define "_rpmdir %{_topdir}" \ 133 --define "_srcrpmdir %{_topdir}" \ 134 --define "_specdir %{_topdir}" \ 135 --define '_rpmfilename %%{NAME}-%%{VERSION}-%%{RELEASE}.%%{ARCH}.rpm' \ 136 --define "_sourcedir %{_topdir}" \ 137 -ba cobbler.spec Furthermore, at the end of a make rpms, I got: RPM build errors: File not found: /root/cobbler/rpm-build/BUILDROOT/cobbler-2.3.1-1.el6.x86_64/usr/share/augeas/lenses/cobblersettings.augmake: *** [rpms] Error 1 This is on a Scientific Linux 6.2 node. > Not quite. Take a look at the configs for 2.2.3 to see how it's > done. The rewrite rules go in the configuration for the :80 server, > while the :443 defines the wsgi endpoint. Also it's cobbler_web, > not cobbler/web. The wiki still carries from the old fedora path. I suspected it already. > I'd really recommend you look at using 2.2.3, since https is now > the default in that version. Will do. Thanks again. Regards, Zack

Another question about 'cobbler reposync'

by Bob Cochran

Thanks to much help from you great people, my 'cobbler reposync' started progressing well...until now, it seems stalled at this point: running: createrepo -g repodata/42ec1be1745e71753d57892fefff57fc16d98541662637e1a8f2c0b2f18870f6-comps-f17.xml --deltas -c cache -s sha /var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/f17-x86_64-everything 13/27033 - Packages/q/qalculreamer-devel-0.10.2-1.fc17.i686.rpm Does it just take a long time for the above step to complete or is it stuck on qalculreamer-devel? I would love to see it progress from package 13/27033 to package 27033/27033! Thanks Bob Cochran

Trouble With 'cobbler reposync'

by Bob Cochran

Greetings, I am trying to set up cobbler repos for Fedora 17 using the instructions provided here: https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/wiki/Manage%20yum%20repos I am attaching the output of 'cobbler report' so you can see my repo definitions. See file mycobbler.report.txt, attached. When I attempt to do a 'cobbler reposync' I get the error message listed in file 'mycobbler.reposync.error.txt', also attached. I then do a 'cobbler repo edit' to change the name of the URL string so that 'http://' is prepended. See file mycobbler.report2.txt, also attached. After editing the URL string, I get the error message text you see here, in file 'mycobbler.reposync.error2.txt', also attached. How do I fix this problem? Thanks Bob

--server-override / Multi-homed cobbler server

by Eric Chennells

Hello, I am trying to use the server-override setting because my cobbler server is multi-homed and clients on one subnet don't have full access to the other subnet. The man page installed with this version of cobbler says there is a "--server-override" setting for this purpose. When I try to set the setting I get the following: [root@cobbler ~]# cobbler system edit --name=sl --server-override=10.3.1.50 Usage: cobbler [options] cobbler: error: no such option: --server-override Versions: Cobbler 2.2.2 SL 6.1 Thanks, Eric Notice of Confidentiality: The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
