I've bounced this idea around a bit in my head. I'm not 100% sure how we would get the final implementation done, but i think it should be feasible. I'm not sure what the current thoughts on it are, and I'm not sure when I'll get back to it.
In my pondering I've wondered if maybe there should be a koan webui that is a bit more cloudy? ie: its less about the configuration of profiles and such and more of the consumption of those profiles? It could just be a subsection if you are logged into cobbler, but its own if you log into it directly? The nice thing for re-installs is that the koan cli tool is very self service for that purpose, and so is the cobbler pxe boot menu. But that requires people to configure in cobbler and then use in the boot or cli.. so that doesn't really meet your direct need i guess. -greg On Mon, Jun 4, 2012 at 8:38 AM, Eldred, Doug <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes, we would like to be able to initiate the install from the Cobbler web or > CL: enable netboot via the web, reboot via the web, etc. > > The primary use case is Autotest, and it would be nice if we could treat > physical boxes/blades and virtual machines the same.
