Provisioning HowTo

9.5. Other Cobbler settings

There are only a few settings that should concern Satellite users. pxe_just_once is mentioned

earlier in the PXE section. server: should be set to the address or hostname of the Satellite server.

No other settings should be tweaked in /etc/cobbler/settings as Satellite assumes them to be

in a certain configuration. The settings file itself is layed down by the Satellite installer.

Similarly, /etc/cobbler/modules.conf, which controls authentication sources, should remain as

installed by the Satellite installer. (The authentication module choice must remain authn_spacewalk

and is not changeable).

After changing /etc/cobbler/settings (such as the server parameter or pxe_just_once) it is

important to run the following so that the settings take effect:

sudo /sbin/service cobblerd restart

sudo cobbler sync

9.6. Using Koan directly

koan (kickstart over a network) is a client utility that lets you invoke Satellite's (and Cobbler's)

functionality remotely from already provisioned hosts. With it you can exercise kickstart provisioning,

create virtual guests (on VM hosts), and list the kickstarts available from the Satellite host. It is

available in the koan package.

You can read the koan manpage by running:

man koan

You can re-provision an existing system using koan by using one of the following methods:

koan --replace-self --server=satellite.example.org --profile=profile-name

Or:

koan --replace-self --server=satellite.example.org --system=system-name

Reboot after running the above command to install the new OS. This can also be used with upgrade

kickstarts if desired (for instance, to upgrade a large number of machines between RHEL 4 and RHEL

You can provision a virtual guest by using one of the following methods:

koan --virt --server=satellite.example.org --profile=profile-name

Or:

1 2 ... 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
