Chaps, Perhaps this question is a little basic for this list but I''m not really sure of the simplest method or best tool for the job. I''ve created some images with `dd=/dev/zero ....` and I''m using them for the domUs now. Some of them have been running for a few months with no probs. Trouble is that I''d like to create a separate partition within the domU.

I've set up a local webserver to store kickstart files for domUs. All parameters are respected apart from the network settings. DomU always gets DHCP. Can any one help to unwrap this one? Does one add hostname, ip, netmask and gateway values to the /etc/xen/blah.cfg file? # ---- domU kickstart file ----# url --url http://192.168.1.120/centos/5/os/i386 lang en_US.UTF-8 keyboard uk network

Morning chaps, From my understanding the puppet master must have a hostname of "puppet". Is this correct? I''d like to be able to call this box whatever I like. I think that I can do that within /etc/puppet/puppet.conf. -- John Maclean MSc (DIC) Enterprise Linux Systems Engineer -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet

This set the cobbler modules dns/dhcp to dnsmasq, removes a duplicate ip replacement in /etc/cobbler/settings, and sets the ip address to the admin network instead of the guest networkwhere it should've been in the first place. --- installer/modules/ovirt/files/modules.conf | 4 ++-- installer/modules/ovirt/manifests/cobbler.pp | 16 ++++------------ 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+),

Hi, I'm running Centos 5 on an IBM x3550 series server with kernel version 2.6.18-8.el5 #1 SMP, dual xeon, 9GB ram system.

Hi all, I'm trying to import in image into Cobbler (working with this: https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/UsingCobblerImport) but keep on getting the following error: total size is 322467472 speedup is 1.00 rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1042) [sender=3.0.7] Command failed I mounted an ISO image and started the import as

Is it difficult to build cobbler on Centos or should I just go with Fedora on this one? Basically, if you have experience succeeeding at this, can you drop me a link to a Howto or describe the issues? I am only writing this because I tried, and ran into quite a few dependency issues with upstream/downstream packages, and would rather concentrate on just getting a nice working Cobbler (and

Am I right in thinking that the numbering of the versions are in synch with the gcc version that one is recommened to build with?

I'm trying to install CentOS-5.5 on my new HP micro-server, which has no CD drive. I've set up cobbler and cobbler-web on my old server, and can access cobbler-web from my laptop. I have 3 queries about the installation. 1. Is there any advantage is using the 64-bit CentOS rather than 32-bit? 2. The CentOS OS seems to be available in 7 or 8 CDs. (I tried downloading the DVD ISO with

am using cobbler to import via rsync -and having trouble munging paths properly to download the 64-bit dvd or others, -what's a known good rsync path to use, or a command line that would allow me to determine this myself? When I use the web browsers of course and go to centos.org, you'll get the usual "not a suppoorted protocol" when clicking around trying to isolate a good

Chaps, Do any of run Xen on a 2-core box that you built from source? If so did you build your own images? I''m curious as I''ve built images on a single-core node and they run --fine-- on that machine. However, as soon as they start on a two-core box they die. /var/log/xen/xend.log gives " VM <name_of_domain> restarting too fast (1.400056 seconds since the last

Hi, Last time I was on Karanbir mentioned Puppet, -what do you all think of Cobbler? I plan to deploy one of the suggestions this week since it looks like i'll be dealing with 2000 centos systems instead of the few hundred I had predicted. -krb

Module on forge: http://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/apache Code and issue tracker: https://bitbucket.org/jsosic/puppet-cobbler Comments are welcome, hope somebody finds it useful. I''m very happy with it so far :D The reason I''m posting it is that couple of people asked me about publishing this module while I was in a process of developing it, so If those people

I am having a bit of trouble setting up cobbler on this machine. cobbler check points out a few things to correct: [root at VIRTCENT04:~]#cobbler check The following are potential configuration items that you may want to fix: 1 : you need to set some SELinux content rules to ensure cobbler serves content correctly in your SELinux environment, run the following: /usr/sbin/semanage fcontext -a

Chaps, I finally have access to a VT enabled box. What would be the best way to get the most out of Xen and VT? A number of questions here. Bear with me. They may seem simple but all I did previously was get the source code, study it a bit, read the README and build from source. Now that I have a dual-core machine how does Xen know how to split resources for the instances? Does one give any

Hi everyone, We are updating local repos from different mirrors using cobbler reposync. This has been working fine for the longest time but started to fail a few days ago (see below for failure details). I first try to use a different mirror but that didn?t help. This morning, I modified cobbler to disable the auto-update for the centos/6/extras/i386/ and centos/6/extras/x86_64/ repos. After

Hi All, Does anybody have any tips or suggestions for migrating from a CentOS + Xen setup and using cobbler/koan [1] for VM provisioning to an XCP setup using XCP templates (or similar) to provision VMs? cobbler/koan make use of kickstart, which It looks like XCP can do as well. Mainly, I am wondering if converting the cobbler profiles could be done automatically and reliably? Any comments,
