Hey guys, So while setting up a new cobbler server (2.6.11) I was adding in some management classes and noticed that since the last version we had running (2.2.2), the web management fields have changed.
2.2.2 only had fields for: Name, Owners, Comment, Packages, and Files.
2.6.11 now has those same fields, plus: Class Name, Is Definition?, Parameters/Variables
However I can’t find anything that says where/if these fields are used? Like what is the difference between Name, and Class Name fields?
We use the management classes to export to ansible for config management, and they show up as expected if we just populate the name field. But I’m just curious as to what the function of the rest is.
Thanks,
