Hi all,
We have an issue which Im certain that you guys have a clever answer to.
We are using multihoming (multiple VLANs) and today have to do a 'cobbler
system edit .... --server=' for each
added node to have it talking the cobbler server on the correct network.
When we add SLES based profiles we have to specify '--kopts=...install=
http://ip/cobbler/ks_mirror/sles11...' for each profile.
The issues we have are:
* Our default RHEL6 based Cobbler server does not provide a default gateway
to the clients. I don't know how to solve it either.
- See our dhcp.template file below
I think you want --gateway option to system edit and add. This will set
the default gateway for a host.
* Executing 'cobbler system edit...--server=...' updates
'autoyast=...' but
not 'install=...'. Why?
That might be a bug, but you might also want to look at doing a 'cobbler
sync' to be sure. The 'install=...' line is in the tftp pxelinux.cfg
files? Those should get updated at light sync time, whenever the host
change gets commited. Not sure why it wouldn't. I'm going to guess a bug
in the append_line code for SLES.
Is there anyway without directly modifying the tftp files to get
this
working smoothly?
I'd think fixing the bug would fix your problem. If I could get a hold
of some pxelinux.cfg files and the systems that they were generated from
I should be able to track things down.
