Hi James, if you want you can review the COMMANDS used by me in order to create distro, then profile (http://pdcsrv.ece.uprm.edu/blog/?p=78) and then how to deploy a virtual machine with koan (http://pdcsrv.ece.uprm.edu/blog/?p=80). Time ago, Michael in private email give a theoretical details about the roles that plays cobbler and koan, but, since i'm a bad student, i can not understand all (sorry Michael, but many thanks for your explaination), however the COMMANDS in those documents, work for me! Hi Michael, i have a question. According to figure attached, there exist a machine where is declared a profile->distro->system. If an user is located to remote server is possible for him execute: koan --replace-self --server=15.20.10.10 --system=databaseserver and then, replace the old system for the new one (databaseserver)? What is the security restrictions to avoid that a malicious user drop a running system? Another one, is not possible execute: koan --virt --server=15.20.10.10 --system=databaseserver where, in databaseserver system is defined the physical host where the virtual machine will be deployed? why is that possible considered? thanks a lot! regards. http://ece.uprm.edu/~s047267 http://del.icio.us/josanabr http://blog-grid.blogspot.com
