Good catch, I did catch that prior to my initial post and tried again with “—mac” but it still doesn’t work.

I tried that along with setting the name to the MAC Address of eth0. I should test this w/o the bonding interface set up. See my first post of the command I used to add the system.

If you know the mac addresses of each blade, you can add that system with --mac="some mac address" and each one when it PXE boots, Cobbler will do the right thing... ________________________________ From: "Sam Sen" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: "cobbler mailing list" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 2:10:09 PM Subject: Re: [cobbler] Assigning a system to a profile Yes, I mount them via a virtual dvd.

In theory since there is no OS installed, it will start the OS installation without having you select from the cobbler menu. Is this feature not available for non-pxe boot?

The cobbler menu shows up with the list of available systems, but I want it to automatically install when it loads the ISO. I don’t have DHCP hence the use of the buildiso command. I added a new system by running the following command. Please note, the install works fine when I select the system but that’s not what I want. Notice I have the “mac” specified and I went as far as using the mac address of eth0 as the name for the system. Both times, I’m greeted with the menu and I’m forced to choose. cobbler system add --name=blade1 –mac=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX --profile=ORACLE --interface=bond0 --interface-type=bond --bonding-opts="mode=6 miimon=1000" --ip-address=172.31.20.45 --hostname=blade1.domain.com --ksmeta='server_type=DB disk_layout=BLADES_ORACLE' --subnet=255.255.255.0 --gateway=172.31.20.250 --kopts='ksdevice=eth0 ip=172.31.20.45 netmask=255.255.255.0 dns=172.31.10.220 gateway=172.31.20.250' --static=1 -- Sam Sen Sr Systems Administrator 215.913.4797 Aria Systems, Inc. 600 Reed Road, Suite 302 Broomall, PA 19008 www.ariasystems.com<http://www.ariasystems.com/> _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler -- Make It So Number One _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler -- Make It So Number One
