I really appreciate your effort and look forward to your notes. I am curious, where one should run the command below, it looks like on the ESXI, reading between lines, but none of the articles online highlight that explicitly. koan --virt --server=cobbler.eng.example.com --profile=rhel7.3-x86_64 --virt-type=vmware --virt-name=lithium.eng.example.com If its on ESXi, how do you install koan to virtual machine thats don't have a operating system yet? I have a system with the virtual machine already setup on cobbler side as follows: cobbler system add --name=lithium --hostname=lithium.eng.example.com --gateway=192.168.20.168 --profile=rhel7.3-x86_64 --dns-name=lithium.eng.example.com --mac=00:50:56:9e:fe:1a --ip-address=192.168.20.3 --subnet=255.255.255.0 --status=production --interface=em1 --static=1 Regards, William _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
