I would like to use the spacewalk api system.provisionVirtualGuest, however I need the ability to pass extra args to the virt-install line that spacewalk would create. Is there any way to do this? Am I missing something obvious? Reasons: Do not use DHCP, PXE, etc. static IP only. So need to pass the IP, gateway, netmask I pass parameters on the line which in turn causes actions to be taken in the %post section of the kickstart. (cat /proc/cmdline during the building of the server)Here is an example of the virt-install command that is ran currently. virt-install --name=testing123 --ram=8192 --vcpus=4 --mac=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff --location=http://myspacewalk/ks/dist/org/z/distro --disk path=/dev/myvolumegroup/testing123_lv --bridge=bridge## --extra-args="ks=http://myspacewalk/ks/cfg/org/z/label/mykickstart noipv6 noselinux serial console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 ip=xx.yy.zz.aa gateway=xx.yy.zz.aa netmask=xx.yy.zz.aa dns=dns1 hostname=testing123 hyper=myhyper flag1=yes flag2=yes " --os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel6 --arch=x86_64 --accelerate --noautoconsole --nographics - Thanks in advance
Hello, in theory you can set "network" kickstart advanced param: https://github.com/rhinstaller/pykickstart/blob/master/docs/kickstart-docs.rst#network https://<spacewalk>/rhn/apidoc/handlers/ProfileHandler.jsp#setAdvancedOptions for static configuration, but that would require you to have one KS profile per VM, which is probably not what you want. Another option would be to create a %post script which would configure network as per your installer/Anaconda time network configuration: https://<spacewalk>/rhn/apidoc/handlers/ProfileHandler.jsp#addScript Script ittself would construct file like below: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Deployment_Guide/s1-networkscripts-interfaces.html based on what %post script gets from its environment: hostname --ip-address route -n ... And also you have to somehow configure network for installer. You can do it via kernel parameters in webUI Systems -> <system> -> Provisioning -> Kickstart -> Schedule -> Advanced Kickstart Configuration -> Kernel Options but I have not found a way how to configure it via API (both for KS and for provisioning). https://rhinstaller.github.io/anaconda/boot-options.html#network-options I would create a Spacewalk BZ for that: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Spacewalk Regards, Jan -- Jan Hutar Systems Management QA [email protected] Red Hat, Inc. _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
