Roadmap: https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/wiki/Roadmap Meeting Room: https://meet.opensuse.org/cobbler
What do you think on for example define statically all the nodes of a cluster inside /etc/cobbler/dhcpd.template? Maybe it's better than leave the generation of the dhcpd.conf to cobbler?
If you don't have any dynamic configuration (like serving something other than Grub or pxelinux or ipxe) then why not
hi all, I'm back, I've running cobbler for the last days testing some of their features, and for the moment is working well
One point is that I'm trying to enable serial console on grub over nodes
but I cannot found any field to enable it
Should I configure it on kernel_parameters? my doubts is because searching on /var/lib/cobbler/grub_config/grub/grub.cfg
I found this:
# Serial console
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if [ $serial_console == true -a "$grub_platform" != "efi" ]; then
# Do not fiddle with console on EFI, this should already be set
serial --speed=$serial_baud --unit=$serial_line --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1
terminal_input --append serial
terminal_output --append serial
if [ $serial_console == true ]; then
# This is used in sourced submenus later
set k_console="console=ttyS${serial_line},${serial_baud}"
fi
else
terminal_input console
terminal_output console
fi
but not sure how to pass the parameter $serial_console
thanks in advance if somebody could give me one tip again!
I bet it's autoinstall parameter
I'll check that out
Ah, no
You should fix the template and change serial_confole to true
wait, no
# store variables for templating
if system:
if system.serial_device or system.serial_baud_rate:
if system.serial_device:
serial_device = system.serial_device
else:
serial_device = 0
if system.serial_baud_rate:
serial_baud_rate = system.serial_baud_rate.value
else:
serial_baud_rate = 115200
if format == "pxe":
buffer += "serial %d %d\n" % (serial_device, serial_baud_rate)
elif format == "grub":
buffer += "set serial_console=true\nset serial_baud={baud}\nset serial_line={device}\n" \
.format(baud=serial_baud_rate, device=serial_device)
cobbler system edit --name foobar --serial-device 0
Something like this
Or
cobbler system edit --name foobar --serial-baud-rate 115200
thanks again consus
serial_baud_rate is 0 if not set
I made a test
^_^
Shall the serial console be enabled by default?
But I believe is has the same root cause
Just need to mention this in the test description
So i'm getting closer to having debian pxedboot from cobbler, however now the installation is looking for an ISO. I read that someone else put a few entries in the /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default along the lines of "set isofile="location://to/iso/file" and then putting another reference on another line. However i'mnot sure where to put these entries in cobbler. Could anyone assist?
There should be a template for that file in case you want to always have them. So just edit the template and they magically appear.
Templates should be at
/var/lib/cobbler/templates if I am not mixing things up again.
I have a suggestion to move all this to /etc/cobbler/autoinstall since templates is a very, VERY overloaded term
Also moving dhcp.template and other service stuff to /etc/cobbler/integrations won't hurt
It's pxe menu
