(devel) [PATCH] Added a pre_install_network_config snippet
Hey,
I added a pre_install_network_config snippet, which is a bit similar to
the disk-configuration-management:
The pre-install code gets the information from cobbler, and it writes
some bash code to match the right IP to the right network interface as
seen by anaconda. This bash code writes the "network" statements, which
are included in the normal installation section of the kickstart.
This only makes sense if MAC-addresses are recorded in Cobbler for all
physical network interfaces. If this is not the case, the network_config
snippet (which I slightly modified, again) falls back to the old behaviour.
This should fix any NIC enumeration problems discussed before, and make
sure the arbitrary interface names code works like it should (i.e. not
mix up your interfaces).
git://bender.newnewyork.nl/cobbler (branch: networking)
http://bender.newnewyork.nl/git/gitweb.cgi?p=cobbler/.git;a=commit;h=1ccf...
In this branch, I also added this code to sample.ks.
# Start pre_install_network_config generated code
An example of the bash code generated:
# Start of code to match cobbler system interfaces to physical
interfaces by their mac addresses
# Start blub.11
# Skipping (not a physical interface)...
# Start eth0.10
# Skipping (not a physical interface)...
# Start blub
# Skipping (no configuration)...
# Start eth0
# Configuring eth0 (00:0C:29:99:81:BD)
if ifconfig | grep -i 00:0C:29:99:81:BD
then
IFNAME=$(ifconfig | grep -i '00:0C:29:99:81:BD' | cut -d " " -f 1)
echo "network --device=$IFNAME --bootproto=static --ip=10.0.8.250
--netmask=255.255.255.0 --gateway=10.0.8.254" >>
/tmp/pre_install_network_config
fi
Which is included in the normal section of the kickstart:
# Network information
# Using "new" style networking config, by matching networking
information to the physical interface's
# MAC-address
%include /tmp/pre_install_network_config
