Just run "cobbler distro add" or "cobbler import" once for each distro you want to add.

Dear Vatsal,
The document provided at cobblerd.org is sufficient for get running Cobbler.

Here is are simple steps to install n configure Cobbler
=> Install your CentOS 6 system
=> For now you donot enable the selinux and iptables. Make sure these are
disabled.
=> Cobbler need few extra packages to install, add EPEL repository in you
system. Get the EPEL rpm here:
http://epel.mirror.net.in/epel/6/i386/repoview/epel-release.html
=> Download the Cobbler package from here:
http://www.cobblerd.org/downloads/packages.html
=> Now install cobbler with yum localinstall cobbler-xxxx it will also
install all the dependency packages
=> After it installed everything, start the cobblerd daemon n run cobbler
check command n check for the missing packages and configurations and fix it
=> Cobbler quick start guide is sufficient to configure and get running
Cobbler. Follow the guide and configure Cobbler settings :
http://www.cobblerd.org/manuals/quickstart/
=> If you like to use the web front-end, download the cobbler-web package
and install it.

Hoping this will help you.

Regards

Upstream has commited an option "always_write_dhcp_entries" for exactly
this purpose.

Thanks,

Are the interfaces in question set as "static"? Or, rather, *not* set as
"static"?

Thanks,
Nish

[DA] I'm pretty sure it is because the ipmi interface rely on DHCP still
being there
after the initial lease expires.  The configuration learned from DHCP is
not persisted
in linux for the ipmi interfaces.  You could argue that I could provision
ipmi separately,
but I'm hooked on cobbler and would like to keep all my provisioning in one
place.

[DA] Do you know what version of cobbler I need to pick up for this?

Ok, that makes sense.

It only was merged in April of this year, so I'm not sure it's in any
release.
