Totally. If you want to name the virtual system "foosball" you can, or you can just decide to provision based on profiles. If you do that, the best invocation is:

koan --virt --profile=profile-xen --server=cobblerBox --virt-name=foosball

That way you get a better name than the one cobbler will generate for you, and it will make more sense when you look at it in virsh or virt-manager later.

The reason to use virt provisioning based on the system would be if you wanted DHCP control, or if you were doing per-system templating. In most cases, I just use --profile for virt.


do you mind sharing what a virt profile looks like ?

Just like a regular one. See the manpage for additional parameters starting with --virt that are only used by virtual machines. For instance, you can set the amount of RAM the guest will get, as well as the amount of disk space -- which is determined by
the actual hardware instead for bare metal.

Incidentally, you may be interested in joining #cobbler on irc.freenode.net.

It's somewhat easier than email for quick questions.
