We're considering Cobbler for the provisioning of RHEL and Solaris hosts. The RHEL bit is easy. However, the question has arisen - how easy would it be to set-up Cobbler so that it could produce the necessary Solaris x86 PXE stuff, and JumpStart configuration (the latter for both x86 and SPARC). A quick trawl of the web reveals sparse discussion of this subject, and a statement on 24th Feb 2009 from icontender "I think it would be really difficult to add direct solaris support. The jumpstart architecture is really advanced and is able to do many things that Kickstart cannot." Mind you, that comment related to JET, which is a JumpStart add-on that we wouldn't be using. Has any work been put into this in Cobbler yet? Do you know of anyone who is using Cobbler in this way? What are your general thoughts on the future of Cobbler for non-Linux platforms? Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer me on the above.
Best regards, Mark Bannister.
