We are entirely interested in this.
The idea is to do:
cobbler image add --name=foo --type=virtimage
--file=nfs://server/path/to/img.foo
koan --virt --image=foo --server=cobbler.example.com
and to be able to use cobbler for image cloning.
To do this, we must have a simple way for users to get the XML data from
something like virt-convert and save it in cobbler.
This way users will be able to go into cobbler and up the RAM amounts
(or override them in koan) without having to hand-edit XML.
Then, from koan, we essentially would be regenerating the XML from the
template and calling virt-image.
Somewhat complicated ... but something I've wanted to do for a while.
I've been waiting for virt-convert to gain some features, which I
suspect are here now?
Yes, I believe so. Or.. I could see passing in the image add with all
the necessary data (see earlier post on ruby). Do you have some time
tomorrow to whiteboard/gobby this up? I think the next interesting steps
for the adk would be to begin to resolve getting these images into
cobbler (and then onto disk).
