Hi,
I am building a pair of provisioning servers and I need a hand with some
of the details regarding setting things up.
The pair of servers is intended for fault tolerance. I want to ensure
that I always have at least one provisioning server available,
especially if I need to rebuild or upgrade one of the provisioning
servers! :-)
We have a Netapp that I would like to use for sharing the data between
the two servers, however I have just noticed this warning in the wiki
page titled "Relocating Your Install":
"ALSO NOTE: /var/lib/cobbler can not live on NFS, as this interferes
with locking ("flock") cobbler does around it's storage files."
I actually have everything on the filer on my development server and I
have not encountered any problems. If this just means that only one of
my servers can write out the configuration files then that is a
sufficient compromise. Note that I don't think I will be using the web
interface for managing the cobbler configuration, configuration changes
aren't likely to happen very often, and I will probably be the only
person making changes. I suspect that locking issues aren't going to be
too big of a deal.
The web server will be chrooted. I don't think this will be a problem
since, if I understand correctly, it will contact cobblerd via XMLRPC. I
am considering putting cobblerd into the chroot as well. Are there any
issues running cobbler/cobblerd as a non-root user?
Anything else that I am missing?
Chris
