I want to use a MAC-based system.
Did I do something wrong? I just added the systems via the web-GUI
and assumed it would select the right system via the MAC-address I
entered.
It will ... provided the MAC addresses match up. It sounds like
they might not.
If you have the MAC entry, it should boot directly to whatever the
system is assigned to and not sit on the menu.
Well, the menu comes after I type "menu".
This was already the case in my test-environment, but it generally
worked there because I was hardcoding the partition-information and
the network-configuration was at the profile-level (which is a
mistake, of course).
Here's from the "systems" file in /var/lib/cobbler/ :
-
depth: 2
interfaces:
intf0:
dhcp_tag: ''
gateway: ''
hostname: ''
ip_address: ''
mac_address: ''
subnet: ''
virt_bridge: ''
intf1:
dhcp_tag: ''
gateway: ''
hostname: host143.intern
ip_address: ''
mac_address: '00:50:56:87:1E:F4'
subnet: ''
virt_bridge: ''

ksmetadev: eth0
ksnetmask: '255.255.255.128'
ksns: '192.168.83.140'
name: host143
netboot_enabled: True
parent: ''
profile: RHEL5.1-i386-mailserver
server: <<inherit>>
virt_path: <<inherit>>
virt_type: <<inherit>>
I assume I don't have to assign a fixed IP to every host on the PXE-
network via dhcpd.conf?
cheers,
Rainer
