I'm more than happy keeping that as the official line for now, since
there
is a lot of discussion on this and no consensus. I will most likely
fork
the post network config snippet into a separate branch and maintain it
there. Anyone who wants to can grab it from there, and like you said if
there's ever enough interest in it we can bring it back into the master
branch.
Patches for this are on my github:
git://github.com/jimi1283/cobbler.git,
branch mgmt-net-script.
There is one new script, as well as a few small modifications to the
existing post network config script to ignore interfaces. Currently I
wrote this to do generate DRAC commands only, since I didn't feel like
mucking around with HP's xml format for hponcfg, and I don't have an HP
system to test on. If someone wants to send me a sample XML file I can
add that functionality to this. I also know IBM's onboard management is
used quite a bit, if anyone has details on that they can either send them
to me, or they can send patches.
Caveats:
1) Since I used the interfaces objects, there is no support for modifying
the onboard username/password. You'll either have to use the power
variables or ksmeta
2) The static routes field is used for the gateway, but since you don't
need the network/subnet for that just specify an IP only. If you specify
more than one there, it will generate multiple gateway statements, so don't
do that :)
