I’m running cobbler 2.0.11 on F16.
When I try to cobbler import as follows:
cobbler import --path=/tmp/RHEL6.2-Server-x86_64-Local --name=RHEL6.2-Server-x86_64-Remote --arch=x86_64 --available-as=http://<some_server>/distros/RHEL6.2-Server-x86_64
the command doesn’t do anything. The below command works.
cobbler import --path=/tmp/RHEL6.2-Server-x86_64-Local --name=RHEL6.2-Server-x86_64-Remote --arch=x86_64 --available-as="nfs://<some_server>:/var/www/html/distros/RHEL6.2-Server-x86_64"
How do I do the same with http?
Do you have the ISO mounted at /tmp/RHEL6.2-Server-x86_64-Local?
When you use --available-as, you need to still have some files locally if the path is HTTP or FTP. Download the ISO and mount it, and --available-as means the files will not be copied from the ISO to locally.
This is what I used with cobbler 2.2.2 on rhel 6.2:
cobbler import --path=/srv/www/repos.server/mirrors/SL/6.2/x86_64/os --breed=redhat --name=SL-6.2-x86_64 --available-as=http://repos.server/mirrors/SL/6.2/x86_64/os
where cobbler was running on the same machine serving up the distro via http. It did seem odd to me at the time that to get it to work I had to use --path.
