Greetings Folks,
I've been lurking for a few days - I started out using Cobbler for bare
metal but wound up using Cobbler and VMs for a test-bed. During the
process I used some simple scripting to populate Cobbler structures from
Virtualbox structures (i.e. created Cobbler command lines from the
Virtuabox VM data.) Michael indicated that creating a new 'virtual type'
might be a less cumbersome solution - so here I am.
Anyone working with/on Virtualbox/Cobbl
er/Koan?
Not that I'm aware...
Python coding will be a new experience so feel free to direct me (off
list)
to the code pieces that I should review.
We'll talk about it on the list instead :) This way everyone can see the
discussion.
Basically if you grep the code for "qemu" or "xenfv" in both cobbler
and
koan, you'll see all the places you'll want to touch. It's pretty easy,
really.
The main effort will be in creating the equivalent to "qcreate.py" or
"xencreate.py" in koan that instead creates a VirtualBox VM, though
these use libvirt, you could use
these as a basis. There's also a vmware creator that (roughly) achieves
the same, with a bit less capability, not using libvirt.
If you have any further questions let us know.

All the best,
:)
