James,
I'm using Cobbler 2.2.3 on RHEL 6.2. I tried the above tip you gave. But,
$getVar() is not working for me. Here's what I did.
1. For a given system, through the web page, I added "ilo_type=ilo3" (without
quotes) in the text field of "Kickstart Metadata". I set the "Power Management
Type" to "ipmilan".
2. When I do 'cobbler system dumpvars' and grep ksmeta I get
ks_meta : ilo_type=ilo3
tree=http://@@distro_master_server@@/cobbler/ks_mirror/rhel6.2-server-x86_64
(It looks like the 'tree' part was inherited from the distro even though I did
not explicitly add it for the 'system' ksmeta)
3. I created the file /etc/cobbler/power/fence_ipmilan.template with following
lines:
action=$power_mode
login=$power_user
passwd=$power_pass
ipaddr=$power_address
#set $type_of_ilo = $getVar("ilo_type","ilo2")
#if $type_of_ilo == "ilo3"
lanplus
power_wait=4
#end if
The $getVar() above is always defaulting to "ilo2" and the 2 options that I
need to add for iLO3 (lanplus, power_wait=4) are never getting added. What am I
doing wrong?
Thanks
Balaji
