Hi
If i install cobbler onto another server how can i migrate the
installation across ? would copying
/etc/cobbler
/var/www/cobbler
/var/lib/cobbler
suffice along with the apache config ?
thanks
Good question. I'll make an article about this on the Wiki.
Here's what I'd do:
Install Cobbler on the new system.
rsync /var/lib/cobbler and /var/www/cobbler from the old system
verify Apache is configured correctly
edit /var/lib/cobbler/settings to correct the server address
Assuming your distribution trees all came from "cobbler import" you
won't have to worry about where your distro files come from.
Otherwise, do a
"cobbler distro list" and check. It may be that you have local kernels
in the config, as opposed to something that already resides in
/var/www/cobbler
as the result of an import.
If your yum repositories are mirrored from local directories (ex:
/srv/mypackages/*.rpm), you'll have to deal with them, but if they are
all remote, then no problem.
You don't have to worry about the cobbler mirrored copies because they
are in /var/www/cobbler.
Cobbler will take care of building /tftpboot and everything else out for
you when you run cobbler sync.
If you hit anything strange, let us know, and I'll expand the Wiki article.
