My apologies as I am walking into this late...but...
If you know the mac addresses of each blade, you can add that system with --mac="some
mac address" and each one when it PXE boots, Cobbler will do the right thing...

Yes, I mount them via a virtual dvd.
I really don’t want to have 12 different ISOs. It would be easier to
just select the system name from the cobbler menu.

Does each blade have its own optical drive ?

Hmmmm … so if I have 12 blades to build, is there a quicker way to
do
this? I would like to boot from ISO (the same ISO for all 12
systems) and have cobbler take over. I don’t think this will work
without PXE based on what you’re telling me.

Sam

The default behavior of the ISO is to boot from local media after a
delay
Look at a file : <iso root>/isolinux/isolinux.cfg

When the system boots up and loads the ISO, I thought it would
automatically force the system to load a profile. In theory since
there is no OS installed, it will start the OS installation without
having you select from the cobbler menu. Is this feature not
available for non-pxe boot? Dan White < ygor(a)comcast.net > wrote:

Contrarywise, what is not happening that should ?

It’s there …

ORACLE

What does the command "cobbler profile list" return ?
If one of the lines is not "ORACLE", then that is your
first problem.

Subject: [cobbler] Assigning a system to a profile
Not sure what I’m missing but I’m attempting to automatically install
the OS with our new blade systems using a cobbler iso (generated by
buildiso). The cobbler menu shows up with the list of available
systems, but I want it to automatically install when it loads the
ISO. I don’t have DHCP hence the use of the buildiso command.
I added a new system by running the following command. Please note,
the install works fine when I select the system but that’s not what
I want. Notice I have the “mac” specified and I went as far as using
the mac address of eth0 as the name for the system. Both times, I’m
greeted with the menu and I’m forced to choose.
cobbler system add --name=blade1 –mac=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
--profile=ORACLE --interface=bond0 --interface-type=bond
--bonding-opts="mode=6 miimon=1000" --ip-address=172.31.20.45
--hostname=blade1.domain.com --ksmeta='server_type=DB
disk_layout=BLADES_ORACLE' --subnet=255.255.255.0
--gateway=172.31.20.250 --kopts='ksdevice=eth0 ip=172.31.20.45
netmask=255.255.255.0 dns=172.31.10.220 gateway=172.31.20.250'
