Hello again,
I upgraded cobbler from 1.2.4 to 1.2.5. Now I have the error message:
xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault 1: "cobbler.cexceptions.CX:'object has no method:
ks_meta'">
It is the same with 'ip_address', 'gateway'. So it appears it's not a
problem related to dictionaries, as I previously supposed.
I dived into the code, and I found out that attributes available for the
XMLRPC interface are hardcoded. The exhaustive list is :
'name'
'profile'
'image'
'kopts'
'kopts-post'
'ksmeta'
'hostname'
'kickstart'
'netboot-enabled'
'virt-path'
'virt-type'
'modify-interface'
'delete-interface'
'virt-path'
'virt-ram'
'virt-type'
'virt-cpus'
'virt-file-size'
'server'
'owners'
There are some subtle differences in attribute names betwwen those in YAML
files, those in the CLI and those in the XMLRPC interface. Perhaps it would
be a good idea to define those names in only one place, in order to increase
maintainability and usability.
Anyway, my problem is solved for the moment.
Thanks again.
Alain.
