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.
Write a script to do that? expect/pexpect may be helpful.
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.
If your bare metal hardware is in the same LAN of the Cobbler server, you can use "arp -a" after pinging the bare metal hardware from Cobbler server to get its MAC address. If Cobbler server is not in the same LAN, you could split this in 2 steps: run a MAC address discovery script in a system which *is* in the same LAN of the bare metal hardware and then
add the systems to Cobbler. Regards, Alan Evangelista _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
