Hi James,

Sorry, I'm trying to figure out what the right way is to reply on this digest email setup. I disabled the digest mode so that the conversation would be much easier than this next time :)

What you are suggesting is very interesting -- you mentioned the functionality that would allow Cobbler to take a snapshot of a machine image and be able to transport it to a VM environment. Such functionality would breed interesting use cases when running a datacenter environment that employs both bare metal and virtual machines.

Please keep us informed as you are making progress.

And, if you have a twitter account, please let us know. Or, follow me @kyolee.

Thank you!

Kyo

I'm wondering if ths feature was ever added, where one could indicate a
different next-server for a particular system interface to override the
cobbler/settings default.

I can easily cheetah my way around it in dhcpd.template, but I wanted to
know if there had been any developments regarding this.  It was discussed
on this list a while back.

Thanks.

Yes, the --server option for an interface overrides the default
next-server option.

Hi Cobbler folks,

At Eucalyptus, for running the development and test environment for
engineers, we have been using a custom-built self-provisioning system, via
PXEBOOT, to provision the machines around in our datacenter.

However, recently we have picked up Cobbler to handle the bare metal
provision tasks of the internal dev/test system. Then, came up with the
idea that we should integrate Cobbler into Eucalyptus to handle the bare
metal provisioning-related operations, thus giving a birth to "Metaleuca."

Metaleuca is a bare-metal provision management system that interacts with
open-source software Cobbler via EC2-like CLIs.

For those who are interested in more details of Metaleuca, feel free to
check out the blog below:

http://kyolee.com/2013/01/30/introducing-metaleuca/

The code of Metaleuca can be seen at:

https://github.com/eucalyptus/metaleuca

Metaleuca is still at its experimental/prototype stage, but your comments
and suggestions will be extremely valuable in setting the right direction
on this integration approach.

Thank you all!

Kyo

I saw this announcement today on Twitter, very nice! It will be
interesting to see how much of this overlaps with the functionality I
was planning on adding, which really was more about using cobbler to
package images (similar to what veewee does actually) and to deploy
them into IaaS platforms like Eucalytpus.

Congratulations on the code release, and I hope it takes off :)
