[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk-list Digest, Vol 55, Issue 49

Kickstart Snippet to get hostname and network information.

Since we don't have pxe here i created my kickstart profiles, then build 
iso with 'cobbler buildiso' then I boot off that iso and have a menu. 

In my kickstarts I created the following snippet.  This asks for IP and 
Hostname, but you can uncomment the other stuff for different networks. I 
then put name my snippet 'pre_netcfg' and create a pre script in kickstart 
profile like this


Pre script in profile
$SNIPPET('spacewalk/1/pre_netcfg') 

and then make sure 'Template' is checked. This works very good and once 
system reboots it is setup with hostname and networking information.

-------- Snippet ----

%pre
#raw
clear
exec < /dev/tty6 > /dev/tty6 2> /dev/tty6
chvt 6

while true; do
echo "Enter Network Configuration"
echo "---------------------------"
echo " "
#echo -en "Enter Network Device (eth0,eth1)     : "
#read DEVICE
DEVICE=eth0

echo -en "Enter the Hostname?                  : "
read HOST

echo -en "Enter the IP Address?                : "
read IP

#echo -en "Enter the Netmask?                   : "
#read NETMASK
NETMASK=255.255.252.0

#echo -en "Enter the Gateway?                   : "
#read GATEWAY
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1

echo -e ""
echo -e "Please Review Your Entries "
echo -e "--------------------------"
echo -e "Network Device :  $DEVICE"
echo -e "Hostname       :  $HOST"
echo -e "IP Address     :  $IP"
echo -e "Netmask        :  $NETMASK"
echo -e "Gateway        :  $GATEWAY"
echo -e " "
echo -en "Does Everything Look Correct? (y/n) "
  read yn
  case $yn in
    y* | Y* )  line="network --bootproto static --device $DEVICE --ip $IP 
--netmask $NETMASK --hostname $HOST --gateway $GATEWAY"
ks="/tmp/ks.cfg"
sed -e "/^network/s/^network.*/$line/" $ks > ${ks}.tmp && mv ${ks}.tmp 
$ks; break;;
    [nN]* )   echo -e "Enter Network Configuration" ; continue;;
    q* ) exit ;;
    * ) echo "Enter yes or no" ;;
  esac
done

chvt 1
