I'm running CentOS 4.4 on my kickstart server and this is what I did: I downloaded the source code for Cobbler and recompiled it on a box with python 2.3 on it. It seems to work fine. (Actually, it works great! I love Cobbler!) The Cobbler spec file says it requires Python >= 2.3, but since the rpm was built on a box with 2.4 on it, it won't install on a box with 2.3 on it.

If there's any features that you would really like to have related to provisioning/kickstart/etc, I'd like to hear about them. There is a rough list I've been keeping at: http://hg.et.redhat.com/hg/emd/applications/cobbler?f=d9209042c5d6;file=TODO As far as big ticket items, I like the idea of serving kickstarts through a custom webserver and logging kickstart activity (and being able to tell a box to always ask if it should netboot but to kickstart only when configured to do so), though maybe that's just me thinking of things to do and not things people really need. I also keep coming back to the thought that "sync" should only update things it needs to update, to save on copying -- though it may not be that anyone has 600 distributions in Cobbler as I've added during testing :) Other ideas for upgrades and brainstorming are welcome. I'm also curious as to how Cobbler is being used in the wild. I know the PXE pieces are being leveraged, but how many folks are using it for Xen? Is anyone using it to reprovision via "enchant" or is koan being executed directly? How about "import"? How many machines and profiles are involved in your cobbler deployments, or are you just testing with it? Are the kickstart templating features sufficient? Basically any info on how you are using it and ways in which it could be improved to better solve real world provisioning problems in various environments would be greatly appreciated. If folks would rather reply personally than to list, that's fine too.

As in, say, RHN? :) This is outside the bounds of cobbler's scope. Namely, cobbler's role stops after kickstarting -- it doesn't keep track of OS's once installed. This isn't to say folks can't benefit from having repo-oriented tools that are useful to Fedora users and the like, however.

Interesting. How exactly are you planning on integrating them ? If it's just having kickstart set up puppet, I have some ks snippets floating around. Or are you thinking about something more ambitious ?

I can't say for sure what happened from the above info, though my guess is the "kernel_options' field in /var/lib/cobbler was removed by hand editing, or the file is otherwise no longer valid YAML. Here is what a default /var/lib/cobbler/settings looks like, prior to modifying the server fields and so forth to customize it to a particular environment. --- bootloaders: ia64: /var/lib/cobbler/elilo-3.6-ia64.efi standard: /usr/lib/syslinux/pxelinux.0 default_kickstart: /etc/cobbler/default.ks dhcpd_bin: /usr/sbin/dhcpd dhcpd_conf: /etc/dhcpd.conf httpd_bin: /usr/sbin/httpd kernel_options: append devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=16438 lang= text ksdevice=eth0 koan_path: '' manage_dhcp: 0 next_server: '127.0.0.1' server: '127.0.0.1' tftpboot: /tftpboot tftpd_bin: /usr/sbin/in.tftpd tftpd_conf: /etc/xinetd.d/tftp webdir: /var/www/cobbler --Michael From arapov at gmail.com Thu Nov 30 23:32:08 2006 From: arapov at gmail.com (Anton) Date: Fri, 1 Dec 2006 09:32:08 +1000 Subject: [et-mgmt-tools] cobbler 2 go.
