Hi, Checkout cobbler at : http://cobbler.et.redhat.com. It has ks templating. Using cobbler you could do exactly what you need very quickly. Aaron On 7/18/07, Gabrie <thegabeman@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi I'm going to install about 20 servers, which will be identical apart from hostname and IP address. To make changes in all ks files easier, I would like to start using one central batch file, that is being called from the ks.cfg file. Therefore I would like to use 2 variables containing IP and hostname. Ideally it would be something like this: ### Begin ks020.cfg VAR-IP = 10.0.0.20 VAR-HOST = vmesx020.mydomain.com <snip> network --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip $VAR-IP --netmask 255.255.255.0 -gateway 10.0.0.254 --hostname $VAR-HOST <snip> %post # download central script lwp-download http://10.0.0.1/scripts/central.cfg /tmp/central.cfg perl /tmp/central.cfg $VAR-IP $VAR-HOST ### End ks020.cfg In the central.cfg I would then be able to read the VAR-IP and VAR-HOST and use it for other configuration stuff. Who can tell me how to use variables in this way? I have the feeling there also is a difference between a variable in the first section (network section) and the post section????
