- VitrualCenter integration
This may be a code snippet instead of an actual RFE. Would use the VI
perl toolkit and give you the ability to create a VM, then pass the
information to cobbler to have it start building upon boot. Would have
to be written in perl. Thinking I can knock this out pretty quick, just
need to figure out how to interface w/Cobbler .. Either command line, or
I think I read there is a XML type API?
So the VMs would technically install via PXE, but it's a script to kick
off the "shell" of the VM, hopefully getting the information about how
much RAM and disk and so forth from Cobbler before talking to VMware?
Yes, this sounds good to me.
- WinPE boot iso import
Would be used in mixed environments to allow PXE booting of the WinPE
boot image to use the actual M$ provisioning system. Would not handle
any provisioning itself, just a way to allow all folks in the env to
PXE boot w/o having to worry about boot ISO's. I'll need to actually
try and get the darn thing to boot from pxelinux first before even
thinking about Cobbler integration. Thought I would have time this
week but such is life ;-)
This sounds good too. I think as I suggested earlier, probably start by
seeing what the PXE config for one looks like... and then we can see if
that makes more sense just with a distro add, or probably it's a variant
of "cobbler image add" (systems can be attached to either profiles or
images, so it doesn't really matter).
That should be enough for the 20 hours I'm able to commit next
week.
Outstanding, thanks!
Oh,
also, I have the following hardware platforms in my lab if anyone needs
anything tested on these specific platforms next week:
I suspect our x86/x86_64 bits are quite solid, so unless some of those
are secretly another architecture we are probably ok. Much appreciated
on the offer though!
