I don't think you need any specially scaling tools for ~ 50 nodes. We've been
doing around 40-50 nodes with cobbler in 2009 already.

You might want to take a look at Puppet Lab's Razor which is
designed for scale.
I've been playing around with it a bit to compare it to Cobbler.

I now have a

automate this as much as possible. Has anyone out there already done
something similar? If so, how did you approach this? I would hate to
tell someone to run the cobbler system add command for 50 servers.
I suppose you have a list of the MAC addresses and power management data (and
maybe
IP addresses) of the 50+ nodes. Simply create a Python script which creates the
missing
system data (eg name) automatically and uses Cobbler CLI / XML-RPC interface to
add the
systems to Cobbler.
