Hi,
to share my testing experience with cobbler2.0 (thanks for it!) hoping it
can hepls others.
My context:
- having one cobbler server1 being migrated from 1.6.x to 2.0.
- having one cobbler server2 directly installed in 2.0
Both servers configured with ldap authentication in /etc/cobbler/[settings,
modules.conf]
authorization is also on in modules.conf [module = authz_ownership]
Both servers are running with SELinux in enforcing mode.
The cobbler 2.0 SW was built from the source in each case.
I noticed the following:
- on server2 set up from scratch
cobbler import .... was complaining that the issued rsync command was
failing
I had to disable selinux for rsync to make cobbler import working with
the following command.
root# setsebool -P rsync_disable_trans=1
may be a better way exist ?
or something to be notified by the cobbler check command ?
Note this is not an issue is selinux is _not_ in enforcing mode.
- on server1 (migrated from 1.6.x) and after migration:
- Had to removed the "omapi" section from the /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template
file
a task for cobbler check ?
(not sure but that helps dumb guy like myself not reading the docs...
:-( )
- Some text comments attached with the systems had "accents"/diacritics
char.
I had to removed them (from jason files) to avoid a python stack trace
in the new WEB interface
(1.6.x was not having issue there - may be due to the move to django)
- In the new WEB interface, I got python stack trace when trying to sort
the "Systems" view on a per profile basis
The pb was with the /usr/share/cobbler/session/sessionid..... file
the following solved the issue:
root# chcon -t httpd_sys_content_t /usr/share/cobbler/web/sessions
and to be sure it will be persistent:
root # /usr/sbin/semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t
"/usr/share/cobbler/web(/.*)?"
may be something that can be addressed at installation time ?
Note this is not an issue is selinux is _not_ in enforcing mode.
- The "owners" field is not displayed anymore in the web interface.
That was very usefull to figure out who to contact.
Any easy way to make it visible again ?
Apart the small annoyance sabove, cobbler2.0 on server1 (the migrated one)
works very well
and I continue testing and experimenting with it.
thanks,
Phil.
