Sorry. You could have also overridden the
kernel options in koan itself:
* koan ... --kopts='ip=10.xxx.xxx.19 netmask=255.255.254.0
gateway=10.xxx.xxx.253 dns=10.xxx.xxx.117'
Basically koan doesn't make use of the cobbler's own --ip, --gateway,
--subnet variables when interfacing with grubby to create the grub
config file; rather it /only/ makes use of --kopts. This is rather
nonintuitive, and it's difficult for me to think of a situation where
one is attempting to reprovision (via koan --replace-self) a system,
yet not want import those cobbler dictionary values (ip, subnet, etc.)
into grub kernel arguments.
Then, there is the problem of precedence: do --ip, --subnet, etc.
override --kopts='ip=... netmask=...' if both are declared? Or vice
versa? This is a policy decision which Michael shouldn't have to worry
about enforcing. Rather, it may be more relevant to update the cobbler
wiki under 'koan replace-self procedure'.
OK to confirm in my own mind ;)
You need to add network info to both the cobbler variables and also
ksmeta variables at system configuration time in order to get the
replace-self to work correctly?
No. You need to do specify the kopts variables on either the cobbler
end or the koan end.
- cobbler ... --kopts='<kernel args>'
or
- koan ... --kopts='<kernel args>'
