Hi, Currently I have a Cobbler installation stored in a Git repository, including selected parts of /var/lib/cobbler and /etc/cobbler.
/etc/cobbler/** /var/lib/cobbler/config/** /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/** /var/lib/cobbler/snippets/** /var/lib/cobbler/triggers/** At some point I may have to transplant it. I know there's the replication feature, but I'm wondering what happens if, say, my server dies and all I have left is the git repository. For obvious reasons I didn't include the install trees and RPM mirrors in /var/www/cobbler, although I now suspect I may need to preserve selected parts of that too, except I'm not sure which. I actually made an attempt at this very early on, and ran into problems because I couldn't refresh these caches successfully. In particular the install tree - there's a "cobbler import" command for the first time, which adds a distro, however if the import has been done already for a given distro but the imported data lost, can any of it be refreshed, and if so which parts? I think I ended up starting from scratch, since initial blundering attempts to restore the data broke cobbler (something in /var/www/cobbler/links was missing, which broke the install process). Next time I need to do this I want to be forearmed with a better understanding. Can anyone help me with some pointers? Thanks, N _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
