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.

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?

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' --static=1
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.

I don't have any experience with bonding interfaces (so can't guess if there's an issue there)...
Let me ask a really dumb question - are you able to PXE boot other machines now? Not the blades - but any of your other machines on your network?

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' --static=1

I’m loading it from the ISO cobbler generates using “cobbler buildiso.” I believe all that is set up within the ISO.
I mount this ISO as a virtual cd in the blade’s ILO console. I’m going to try an install with the bonding options.

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?

I do not believe PXE will work without DHCP.
It is the DHCP server that points the new machine to the boot server.
BuildISO's do not need DHCP.
You can make ONE image with IP's and MAC's for all 12 blades, but I do not know if you can use it on more than one at a time.

The default behavior of the ISO is to boot from local media after a delay

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?

What does the command "cobbler profile list" return ?
If one of the lines is not "ORACLE", then that is your first problem. “Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.” Bill Waterson (Calvin & Hobbes)

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' --static=1

I would recommend the following: Use "cobbler buildiso" to create the ISO as normal, however once it's done go into the working directory and edit the isolinux.cfg file to change the default boot option to the entry you want, and then run the mkisofs again manually (the full syntax of the command should be shown in /var/log/cobbler/cobbler.log, if not I can give it here). This should get you what you need.
Hello,
i was already using Cobbler to install Fedora 18 clients for several weeks. So my kickstart file was ok, i think.
But for several days now it is not possible to use this groups in the kickstart file:
@admin-tools @cinnamon-desktop @java
My other groups are still working:
@base-x @fonts @standard @core @xfce --nodefaults @gnome-desktop --nodefaults @input-methods @kde-desktop --nodefaults @printing --nodefaults
Any idea what is going wrong?
This are my repos (with my descriptions, up to date every weekend):
Fedora18_x86_64_full_01 Fedora18_x86_64_full_debug_01 Fedora18_x86_64_updates_01 Fedora18_x86_64_updates_debug_01
I was already reinstalling my repos. After install without my problem groups, i am able to use this groups with yum groupinstall.
I am using cobbler-2.2.3-2.el6.noarch on Scientific Linux release 6.2 .
Thanx for any help.
Detlev
B.t.w.: Wenn i am using
#@admin-tools
the clients can't use Cobbler/pxe anymore. Is this normal? Will #@ crash Cobbler?
