Its inside the actual cobbler system definition where you want it defined. "Keeping Class Mappings In Cobbler First, we assign management classes to distro, profile, or system objects. cobbler distro edit --name=distro1 --mgmt-classes="distro1" cobbler profile add --name=webserver --distro=distro1 --mgmt-classes="webserver likes_llamas" --kickstart=/etc/cobbler/my.ks cobbler system edit --name=system --profile=webserver --mgmt-classes="orange" --dns-name=system.example.org For Puppet, the --dns-name (shown above) must be set because this is what puppet will be sending to cobbler and is how we find the system. Puppet doesn't know about the name of the system object in cobbler. To play it safe you probably want to use the FQDN here (which is also what you want if you were using Cobbler to manage your DNS, which you don't have to be doing)." I've got puppet and cobbler working together in this method using the default snippets, so I wonder if fixing that will fix that for you. _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
