Spacewalk/Cobbler system with multiple interfaces/MAC

  • 772

I have bare metal provisioning set up with a DHCP/PXE server and a Spacewalk server.

I'm using cobbler system records to match a machines MAC address to the system profile.

Basically:

 cobbler system add --name=example --profile=example --kickstart=/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/example.ks --mac=00:00:00:00:00:00

The problem is the bare metal machines obviously have multiple NICs and I do not want to worry initially how the remote hands will plug them in.

My question is how do I register a cobbler system with multiple interfaces/MAC?

  1. What I've done to get around this is to first add the system with any interface and then edit the system to add more interfaces.

    cobbler system add --name=system2nics --profile=example --kickstart=/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/example.ks --mac=00:00:00:00:00:00


cobbler system edit --name=system2nics --interface=eth1 --mac=50:50:50:50:50:50

    It's not an ideal solution but does what I need to achieve.
