I recommend using Cobbler to do the following for you:

1) Manage your OS distributions

2) Deploy your systems (PXE, koan virtual boots)

3) Provide basic filesystem partitioning (the snippets are very useful for this)

4) Kickoff CM: either Chef, Puppet, ansible-pull, or other. This is what Cobbler-Web's Management Tab is for :)

If you have not used CM before, I strong recommend looking into Ansible as it has the least challenging learning curve: http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_getting_started.html

Also, as it's been mentioned before on this list and elsewhere, the same guy who started the Cobbler project is the guy who started Ansible.

Good luck.

Thanks, Thomas, I got it.

I think I should go through all the snippets and scripts to get started.
If anyone have better idea to get started with cobbler.

Hi,

Trigger requests are sent to URLs like:

http://<cobbler_host>/cblr/svc/op/trig/...

e.g.:

http://cobbler.local.domain/cblr/svc/op/trig/mode/post/system/server1

Check for example the kickstart_done snippet.

Hth,
Tom.
