Hello, I've been following a trail of bread crumbs to find out how to do this... Adding a MAC Address to the ifcfg-eth* card with systemconfigurator
Essentially I'm passing a variable into my PXEBOOT file called MACADDRESS=00:00:00:00:00 and when I've initiated a reimage of a host this VARIABLE will show up in the file /tmp/kernel_append_parameter_variables.txt .. So far, So Good. The missing link is what happens inbetween but somehow this MACADDRESS must end up in the /tmp/variables.txt file which gets called by the MASTERFILE that will in turn pass that variable along to SYSTEMCONFIGURATOR to configure this towards the end of installation. What I've seen is that a tool in the client called /etc/init.d/functions is what grabs this data from the kernel_append file and parses that information into the /tmp/variables file. So it would seem like a simple thing to edit the functions file to include the MAC ADDRESS variable string. echo "MACADDRESS=$MACADDRESS" >> /tmp/variables.txt But for the life of me I cannot find where the /etc/init.d/functions file gets created... It's not in the boel_binaries.tar.gz file and it doesn't appear anywhere on my server... Some of my hosts need the MAC address to be set in order to boot properly.. otherwise networking gets messed up and it's a no-show. I know I could do a straight forward calling of the /tmp/kernel_append file but that seems like an ugly hack to me and I want to understand the full process regardless.
