tell someone to run the cobbler system add command for 50 servers.

I suppose you have a list of the MAC addresses and power management data (and maybe
IP addresses) of the 50+ nodes. Simply create a Python script which creates the missing
system data (eg name) automatically and uses Cobbler CLI / XML-RPC interface to add the
systems to Cobbler.
