I also modified restart-services.trigger to start nfs if nfs is not running on
my cobbler server. My cobbler server and is also my nfs server for kickstarts.
You also need to add the variable manage_nfs: 1 to /etc/cobbler settings
Here is the modified code:
#!/usr/bin/python
import cobbler.api as capi
import os
import sys
bootapi = capi.BootAPI()
settings = bootapi.settings()
manage_dhcp = str(settings.manage_dhcp).lower()
manage_dns = str(settings.manage_dns).lower()
manage_nfs = str(settings.manage_nfs).lower()
restart_dhcp = str(settings.restart_dhcp).lower()
restart_dns = str(settings.restart_dns).lower()
omapi_enabled = settings.omapi_enabled
omapi_port = settings.omapi_port
# load up our DHCP and DNS modules
bootapi.get_sync()
# bootapi.dhcp and bootapi.dns are now module references
# special handling as we don't want to restart it twice has_restarted_dnsmasq =
False
def nfsStatus(nfs):
if nfs != "0":
commandString = "/sbin/service nfs status|/bin/awk '/nfsd/{print $NF}'"
nfs_status = os.popen(commandString).readlines()
if nfs_status == ['stopped\n']:
print
rc = os.system("/sbin/service nfs start")
return rc
rc = 0
if manage_dhcp != "0":
if bootapi.dhcp.what() == "isc":
if not omapi_enabled and restart_dhcp:
rc = os.system("/sbin/service dhcpd restart")
elif bootapi.dhcp.what() == "dnsmasq":
if restart_dhcp:
rc = os.system("/sbin/service dnsmasq restart")
has_restarted_dnsmasq = True
else:
print "- error: unknown DHCP engine: %s" % bootapi.dhcp.what()
rc = 411
if manage_dns != "0" and restart_dns:
if bootapi.dns.what() == "bind":
rc = os.system("/sbin/service named restart")
elif bootapi.dns.what() == "dnsmasq" and not has_restarted_dnsmasq:
rc = os.ssytem("/sbin/service dnsmasq restart")
nfsStatus(manage_nfs)
sys.exit(rc)

Subject: RE: RH NFS TCP UDP installs
Tim,
I use the nfs string you mention below in my kickstart template and have added
these variables to my /etc/cobbler/settings so that cobbler picks them up when
it generates the ks.cfg
The vars are:
Nfs_server: 'ip address'
Nfs_distro_root: 'my distro path'

Subject: RH NFS TCP UDP installs
I know it's not a cobbler question but maybe someone has run into this
prob.
It seems that RH (and thus cobbler) uses UDP for NFS kickstarts.
How are folks NFS kickstarting with their Filers using NFS over TCP?
The official RH line is to use a boot command line option for RH4.
Further research shows:
It look like adding
--opts=tcp to the nfs line in the ks file would works.
Since the ks file is generated on-the-fly how do I get something that
looks like this
# INSTALLATION TYPE
nfs --server $nfs_server --dir $nfs_distro_root/$distro --opts=tcp

This is a bit kludgy, so you might want to rethink why you want to do it.
