A while back I had used the example Perl in the wiki to get my toes
wet into talking XMLRPC to cobbler. All was going well in 1.6.x and
then since we haven't deployed the system I though hey I will go to
2.0 so i have less pain later!
Anyway this code,
use XMLRPC::Lite;
# Build the connection
my $xmlrpc = XMLRPC::Lite->proxy($uri);
# Login to cobbler xmlrpm and get session token back.
my $token = $xmlrpc->login($user, $password)->result();
# Create new system object
my $object = $cobbler->new_system($token)->result();
$cobbler->modify_system($object, "name", $hostname, $token)->result();
$cobbler->modify_system($object, "hostname", $hostname, $token)->result
();
$cobbler->modify_system($object, "profile", $profile, $token)->result();
$cobbler->modify_system($object, "gateway", $gateway, $token)->result();
###
my %eth0 = (
"macaddress-eth0" => $mac,
"ipaddress-eth0" => $ip,
"static-eth0" => 1,
"subnet-eth0" => $netmask,
);
$cobbler->modify_system($object, "modify-interface", \%eth0, $token)-
>result();
# Commit the system object
my $result = $cobbler->save_system($object, $token)->result();
Created a host with the code, and the cobbler.log shows nothing bad,

And the system is created however the eth0 interface is not, any
ideas? Additionally when I check dumpvars on the system it gives this
error,
# cobbler system dumpvars --name=rhel4-64.umiacs.umd.edu
