No, you set them in the system object. This can be found under Networking in the web console, or by running "cobbler system edit --name=<system name> --dhcp_tag=<arbitrary value>". If you do a search for "dhcp_tag" in the cobbler list archives, you should find a thread on how we use it to manage replicated cobbler instances on different subnets. > On Wed, May 4, 2011 at 5:54 PM, Greg Chavez <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> On Wed, May 4, 2011 at 11:08 AM, Daniel Kertby <[email protected]> wrote: >> > Hi, >> > >> > I have setup Cobbler to use DHCP and the cobbler itself resides on >> > multiple >> > VLANs (over a Bond). >> > >> > My intention is to get the ks=http://<server>/cblr/svc.. to point at the >> > interface if of the Cobbler server >> > for that VLAN. >> > >> > When adding a system, --server-override=string can be used but I don't >> > want >> > this to be put on the >> > cobbler users -- or additional code for fixing that. >> > >> > My understanding is that the /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template file can be >> > updated >> > to provide the correct >> > installation server.
