Hi all,
I've been thinking of developing a patch to add some form of system tags
to cobbler.
Initially I was thinking of a number of free format fields.
System_Serial_Number
System_Description
System_Owner
System_Location
Maybe there are some more?
This would certainly be useful for the way we use Cobbler and Puppet.
At the moment we use Cobbler kickstart metadata to provide location
information that Puppet uses to set things like DNS server order and
backup server addresses based on the data centre where the host is
located.
It works, though it's not idea as you can easily forget to provide all
the information required.
The fields we use are data centre name, rack number and RU range (e.g.
RU17-19).
