Hi We would like to upgrade our Kickstart infrastructure to
make it better and I am looking for some suggestions. What we have is a menu based Kickstart infrastructure on running
Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 (EL4), where you have the boot.msg file and the corresponding
default file all installed from the system-config-netboot rpm. Then I
have the tftp server, the webserver serving the ks.cfg files, RPM’s etc. And then I have the post install script that run in the
%post section of the ks.cfg file which mounts the NFS partitions where I have
all my post-install scripts and files. We have been using this Kickstart infrastructure for about a
year and a half now and it’s been serving our purpose, but the menus have
become a lot larger than it was and now when I pxeboot the client the menu
scrolls off the screen and there is no way to do a page-up/page-down to see
what’s on top/bottom. We have tried to trim down the menu but now since our infrastructure
has gotten a lot larger it’s difficult. Then when we want to have
both EL4 and EL5 it would be difficult as well. I have heard of “cobbler” but I would like some
suggestions as to which is the best alternative to this menu based Kickstart that
I am using here. Also this Kickstart infrastructure that I have here seems to
be a basic one and we are ready to explore some advanced methods of Kickstarting
our servers Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks # mukarram |
