Hi
I'm pretty new to RHN Satellite server and Kickstart and have a couple
of questions.
We have the Satellite server setup with the needed channels and a
kickstart profile ready for those channels.
Bare Metall installation is running ok ending with a installed system
with no hostname (registered as "unknown" in the satellite server) and
ip from DHCP.
We wonder now:
- How does the server get his Hostname?
- How do we configure the Networks (there are severals including some
bonding)?
What's best practice?
- cloning a template kickstart profile for each server and adding the
values?
- create pre/post scripts who ask for the information during install?
as we like this idea
- is there some documentation/examples/helper scripts to get a this
nicely done?
- using config channels and also some kind of scripts to get hostname
and ip?
Also:
- is cobbler supporting/integrating with the satellite server
- or is there another way of doing this nicely
Remarks:
We need to install and configure rhel4 and 5 systems.
There is no cmdb available who has the config stored.
cheers
Andreas
