Here's the code and it seems to work as of right now. Perhaps someone can
suggest how this code could be better:
Basically I pass it two arguments, the first being the existing system and the
second being what I would like to rename the system to:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
from xmlrpclib import *
system_name=sys.argv[1]
new_name=sys.argv[2]
intf="eth0"
conn = ServerProxy("http://localhost/cobbler_api";)
token = conn.login("testing","testing")
# Check for systems and create if it doesn't exist
try:
sys_id = conn.get_system_handle(system_name, token)
except Fault, reason:
if reason.faultCode == 1:
sys_id = conn.new_system(token)
pass
else:
raise
conn.rename_system(sys_id, new_name, token)
sys_id = conn.get_system_handle(new_name, token)
conn.modify_system(sys_id, "profile", "CentOS-5.2-x86_64-combined", token)
conn.modify_system(sys_id, "name", new_name, token)
conn.modify_system(sys_id, 'modify_interface', {
"ipaddress-%s" % intf : "10.130.242.220",
"dnsname-%s" % intf : new_name,
}, token)
conn.save_system(sys_id, token)
I mostly ripped this code off from other posts I found.
Thanks
