Actually I don't have the mac addresses handy. Would have to login to the ilo/idrac of each server and grab the mac which is very time consuming. I do have all the hostnames and ip addresses defined in dns. Is there a way for me to get the bare metal hardware to tell the cobbler server its mac addresses and auto register somehow. From there maybe I can write a shell script to populate the other needed info.
Thanks.
