similar to: building cobbler on centos

while i'm on a Centos5 kick, I was just curious if I simply needed to add a repo or if building these was a matter of waiting in terms of Centos5. Am trying hard to stay away from Fedora if possible... -krb

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. When I run yum update, I get this error: --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: libevent-1.1a.so.1()(64bit) for package: nfs-utils --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: libevent-1.1a.so.1()(64bit) is needed by

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

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

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(+),

I'm having what appears at first glance to be a kickstart+anaconda issue on CentOS 7.4. As near as I can tell in the program.log in the anaconda environment, the partitioning instructions downloaded with the kickstart from cobbler appear to simply not be applied. Then /mnt/sysimage is not mounted, the logs are not copied to /mnt/sysimage/root and the installation stalls due to the anamon

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

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

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

Chaps, Is cobbler overkill or is it simpler to set up a local repo and rsync it with a mirror? -- John Maclean 07739 171 531 MSc (DIC) Enterprise Linux Systems Engineer

Hi all, I need the power of R from within some of my Python programs... I use debian linux (woody) at home and windows XP at work (the latter is where I need to get things done!) This are my packages: R 1.8.0 Python 2.3 RSPython 0.5-3 This is what I've done: (1) Since the Windows Binary of RSPython is compiled against Python 2.2 I downloaded the tarball (2) Followed the instructions in

I've been thinking about ways to proceed if I need to set up 5 machines with basically identical software but somewhat variable hardware. A simple approach would be to just set up my golden system and clone the disk, but the hardware differences would probably cause problems. One approach that appeals to me is to install minimal centos on the first system, add a few rpms after installation,

Hello All I need to install Python 2.4.2 for installing Zope. What is the location for python that should be given in the ./configure --prefix directive? /usr/lib is for python libraries..isn't it and thats where I find most of python installed except for the python binary in /sbin Should I uninstall the normal python installed in Centos 4.2 by default before installing from source?

Hi, I run two live c-class subnets on the internet. Last Sunday morning I was hit with a DDoS attack and it hasn''t stopped. I made modifications on my shorewall firewall during Sunday to lesson the impact, as they were hammering me with 180k/5sec traffic both ways (inbound and outbound). One of the primary things which helped reduce their DDoS was enabling "norfc1918" on the

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

If I edit a VM and assign the operating system to an image I created under cobbler I get a http 404 error when I attempt to save the settings. The following is shown in the rails log.

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,

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

If I execute these via command line, will they persist after a reboot?
