It actually does not explain it. The name_servers setting is applied by the snippets you will see in such files at /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/sample*.ks. If you have the network config settings there, they will be applied to your local system upon kickstart. The value in settings is used when this is /not/ specified, such that you do not have to enter it in for all systems. It is the /default/ value for this per-system setting. If you are using your own kickstarts, they will not have this snippet by default and you'll have to go in and fix that. Manage DHCP simply handles DHCP reservations. It has no bearing on this setting. > On Thu, May 21, 2009 at 5:51 PM, Jeff Schroeder <[email protected]> wrote: > >> On Thu, May 21, 2009 at 8:12 AM, Dick Davies >> <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> I can define static IP configured systems like this: >>> >>> cobbler system add --name=vera --hostname=vera.domainname >>> --profile='centos-53-i386-puppet' \ >>> --static=true --gateway=1.2.1.254 --subnet=255.255.128.0 >>> --ip=1,2.5.27 --mac=00:0C:F1:f1:f1:f1 \ >>> --name-servers='1.2.0.20 1.2.0.10' --name-servers-search='domainname' >>> >>> but that's a lot of typing :) anyway to inherit these (say from the >>> profile)? >>> >>> I know, this is what DHCP is for :) but I need the values hardcoded >>> into the machines >>> after they're built. >>> >>> Tried setting 'default_name_servers' in cobbler/settings >>> and it seemed to be a null-op; certainly had no effect on existing >>> systems, even if I re-created their >>> definitions. >>> >>> Am I missing something?
