I was working on setting up my cobbler server today when it occurred
to me that the ability to "chain" profiles might be useful. The
concept would basically allow you to assign a sequence of profiles to
run against a machine.
For example.
a system has profile1, profile2, profile3
profile1 boots to a firmware update image, then reboots and cobbler
uses profile2
profile2 boots to the HP scripting toolkit, goes through it's
gyrations, then reboots and cobbler uses profile3
profile3 boots into the standard kickstart mode and builds the machine
as normal.
Profile might not be the right word to describe this but I think the
idea is clear. Seems it wouldn't be too much trouble to do this using
the status mechanism.
Has anyone done this in another way?
Thanks for a great project by the way.
