I notice when creating buildiso for systems using a static IP setup, the code
attempts to pull in the IP info for the boot line e.g. from the buildiso code
# add network info to avoid DHCP only if it is available
if data.has_key("bonding_master_eth0") and
data["bonding_master_eth0"] != "":
primary_interface = data["bonding_master_eth0"]
else:
primary_interface = "eth0"
......
The issue with above is that for large systems with multiple NIC's its very
common (in our environment) for eth0 not to be the boot interface, we also have
a vmware vpshere server build working with cobbler and here the interfaces are
called vmnic0,1,2 ... so there is never a eth0
I know were not happy with adding extra options to cobbler but something like
--bootinf=<interface> would help change the code above, this could be a check
button in the webui. When set we could also add ksdevice=mac else
ksdevice=<nic> if a mac was not supplied (or relevant code for o/s being
installed).
Or is there another way to get cobbler to populate the correct data, for the
boot line ? If I add this via the kernel_options things just get duplicated.
Cheers,
Simon
