how that meshes with existing deployments getting a cobbler upgrade.
Hmm, who is using Xen PV out there? Speak up if you are.
I'm willing to shoot it.
still using it, but we can stay with our existing koan and just not upgrade
- RHEL5 virt-install doesn't had --disk driver_type= for
qemu_driver_type
cobbler option. Not as big of a deal, users just can't specify that value
on
RHEL5.
I don't think Cobbler users ever specified anything other than the default.
But in that vein, currently all koan image/qemu/xen guest creation is
broken
on any RHEL5 since October, due to unconditional use of guest.set_autostart
API which isn't in RHEL5.
That's interesting as it does seem to confirm that nobody is using it.
Which seems to align with my thoughts that:
(A) people don't upgrade too often
(B) the field is still largely VMware :)
So, yeah
hrmph.. well i was about to upgrade to latest in epel (my production
systems are on 2.0.11)
so is this working or broken in 2.2.1 ?
