Thanking you again - would it be possible to get a virt-mac option for Koan? I could do with being able to tell the Virtual Server what its mac is as part of some automation I have built for our stuff.

I think so. However, the current bug that doesn't honor the mac unless it's also in $name needs to be fixed and will be for the next release.

So the following:

cobbler system add --name=foo --mac=AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF --profile=xyz

Is supposed to do that...

Do you have a need to be able to do it client side? It's not hard to add, just trying to understand things :)

Yeah, basically the the virtual server will boot and do the install, and during the install a custom perl script is run, which based on the servers MAC address pulls details from a database and sets them on the server. Kludgey, but pretty effective :)

Are you saying however that I could create a system in cobbler that will tell koan what the MAC address is meant to be and set it appropriately?

Yes.... Right now you have to set the name to the MAC, though it was intended that --mac=AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF would work in koan also. I'm going to fix that :)

I would have to look into it, but that may be a viable option, but having the ability to do it through koan is probably the best way tbh :)

Sure, that's doable.

Are you actually on holiday and working btw Michael? If so, even more thanks are in order.

No thanks needed. Computers are just up there with eating, sleeping and breathing and all that :)

So true :)

Chris
