Hi,
I am just starting to use cobbler and so far it is working well. One
thing
I have noticed is that cobbler check gets confused by the fact that
I have
"server_args -s /tftpboot" the xinetd config and tftpboot:
/tftpboot/pxe
in /var/lib/cobbler/services.
I have a /tftpboot that looks something like this:
(rocky pts4) # ls -d /tftpboot/*
/tftpboot/cisco/ /tftpboot/pxe/
(rocky pts4) #
Is there a better way to do this or should I just continue to ignore
the
cobbler error?
Regards,
The PXE components shouldn't work with the way you have it
configured, so the check result seems correct based on what
information you've given so far.
Explanation -- TFTP runs chroot, so your tftp root is configured as
"/tftpboot". However, you're telling cobbler to write files in
"/tftpboot/pxe", so files in pxelinux.cfg referencing "/images/blah"
would be looking in "/tftpboot/blah" on your filesystem when the
files are actually being stored in "/tftpboot/pxe/blah".
Recent versions of cobbler do not delete contents of "/tftpboot" they
do not own when syncing, so if you set tftpboot in
/var/lib/cobbler/settings back to the value you are using in
xinetd.d, it should be good to go. Cobbler will write the files where
it needs to write them relative to TFTP root, and you're free to use
the rest of the directory for other things. The reason the tftpboot
setting is there at all in settings is to accomodate for TFTP
installs that might not want to use the partition mounted on "/" for
hosting tftp content.
FYI, The directories/items cobbler will modify in /tftpboot are:
pxelinux.cfg (directory)
images (directory)
pxelinux.0 (file)
elilo-3.6-ia64.efi (file)
