(I'm new to cobbler, and using v 2.0.11) This is really a request for ideas.
I'm trying to set up a network deployment and maintenance framework for a rapidly growing number of Linux boxes. Cobbler, even though I'm new to it, seems to be an absolute treat. Thanks! Cobbler principally does the installation of a clean OS (more or less "out of the box" from the manufacturer) onto the disk. I am strongly resisting any urge to do any fine-grained tuning at this point, because that should actually be classed as the first steps of the next item... 'cfengine' (v3.1.4) is ideal for long-term maintenance of such installations. But it would be good if that installation procedure could be adjusted just a little bit to include the installation of the 'cfengine3' rpm from somewhere (as it is not part of the RHEL distribution) and a minimal bit of associated scripting (or similar) to tickle 'cfengine' into action as the freshly installed machine first boots. What might be a good, clean way to glue that cfengine install/initialise onto the back end of the cobbler-based installation? -- : David Lee : ECMWF (Data Handling System) : Shinfield Park : Reading RG2 9AX : Berkshire : : tel: +44-118-9499 362 : email: [email protected] _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
