Koan appears to ignore --kopts

[Ronald J. Yacketta]

Hello all!

Finally have cobbler setup and running :) Set off to-do several koan 
(xenpv) installs today and noticed that the 'kernel Options' listed in 
one of my profiles did not make its way into grub.conf.

Here is the cobbler profile in question

profile              : f9-xen-i386
distro               : f9-xen-i386
dhcp tag             : default
kernel options       : {'console': ['ttyS1,57600', 'tty1']}
post kernel options  : {}
kickstart            : /etc/cobbler/fc9.ks
ks metadata          : {}
owners               : ['admin']
repos                : []
server               : <<inherit>>
virt bridge          : eth0
virt cpus            : 1
virt file size       : 30
virt path            :
virt ram             : 1024
virt type            : xenpv


Here is what my grub.conf looks like after koan / kickstart:

default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora (2.6.25.3-2.fc9.i686.xen)
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25.3-2.fc9.i686.xen ro 
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
    initrd /initrd-2.6.25.3-2.fc9.i686.xen.img
title Fedora (2.6.25-2.fc9.i686.xen)
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25-2.fc9.i686.xen ro 
root=UUID=024248f7-4042-4a54-874e-512ecbf871d5 rhgb quiet
    initrd /initrd-2.6.25-2.fc9.i686.xen.img


Also,
has anyone ran into the following error when setting up the cobbler 
server to be on 3 VLAN's and restricting apache to Listen to a specific IP?

Ok,

Looks like my google and site search abilities are lacking :( found the 
answer to my first question.. --kopts-post and 
$SNIPPET('post_install_kernel_options')

Any thought son the mod_python error?

Cobbler's mod_python component is trying to connect to cobblerd using 
the server value contained in /etc/cobbler/settings.    It's unable to 
do so given the way you have Apache set up.

In a stock Apache configuration, this problem will not exist.

Cobbler's mod_python aspects are required for operation.  It may be as 
simple as changing the server address.

The "server:" setting in cobbler is the IP of the VLAN interface which

resolves to eden.manage.potsdam.edu. The same IP has been assigned to 
listen in httpd.conf

 From what I can gather, apache is listening on the ip (port 80, 443) of 
eden.manage.potsdam.edu as well as cobbler.

 From scripts/services.py (the mod_python handler from the source checkout)

    # instantiate a CobblerWeb object
    cw = CobblerSvc(
         apache   = apache,
         server   = "http://127.0.0.1:%s/cobbler_api" % http_port
    )


It seems to be unable to connect to 127.0.0.1.

Cobbler's Apache config file (cobbler.conf in /etc/httpd/conf.d) proxies 
these as follows:


ProxyPass /cobbler_api http://localhost:25151/
ProxyPassReverse /cobbler_api http://localhost:25151/

ProxyPass /cobbler_api_rw http://localhost:25152/
ProxyPassReverse /cobbler_api_rw http://localhost:25152/

It may be that "localhost" is the problem and you may want to change it.

There is also a selinux boolean about allowing apache to connect out but 
"cobbler check" will report if that is ever a problem.

I did the same digging ;) looking at cobbler source and settings. Added 
a "Listen 127.0.0.1:80" to httpd.conf to resolve the issue. This 
satisfies our requirement to stop apache from glomming onto all bound IP 
addresses and only respond to cobbler (and other web requests) from a 
specific VLAN.

Thanks again!
