I hoping that Real Soon Now it will create a VM to order with lots of custom vmware settings via ks_meta variables. At the moment I'm hung up on VMware API problems, so it doesn't do anything useful yet. The APIs either won't install or puke after they are installed. I can generate .vmx files to order, but scp and ssh commands to install them on the VMware server, either require permanently granting too much access to the server or you have to authenticate yourself several times. Pretty sure I understand most of the values you python script prints out. But what are: parent, depth, virt_type, and virt_path? <div>On 8/6/07, Michael DeHaan <<a href="mailto:mdehaan@redhat.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> mdehaan@redhat.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> drew einhorn wrote: > > > On 7/30/07, *Michael DeHaan* <<a href="mailto:mdehaan@redhat.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">mdehaan@redhat.com</a> > <mailto: <a href="mailto:mdehaan@redhat.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">mdehaan@redhat.com</a>>> wrote: > > drew einhorn wrote: > > > I think it won't be too difficult to use VMperl to create > scripts to > > make an appropriate dhcp reservations, or create a VM to order. > > Will let you know when I have something more concrete than plans. > Excellent. > > > Been making progress. > > What I need now is a python incantation to retrieve ks metadata, > and virt info from a cobbler profile, so I can fill in line arguments > on shell commands my script is issuing. > > This might help get you started... what does the script do? import cobbler.api as cobbler_api api = cobbler_api.BootAPI() for x in api.profiles(): print x.to_datastruct() > > -- > Drew Einhorn > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > et-mgmt-tools mailing list > <a href="mailto:et-mgmt-tools@redhat.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> et-mgmt-tools@redhat.com</a> > <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools</a> _______________________________________________ et-mgmt-tools mailing list <a href="mailto:et-mgmt-tools@redhat.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> et-mgmt-tools@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools</a> </blockquote></div> -- Drew Einhorn
