[Spacewalk-list] specific repo to a server with kickstart

[Jérôme Meyer]

Hi Phil,

Thanks for your quick reply.
Yes, I'm using the Base Channel when a new server is creating with a Kickstart Script define on Spacewalk. In that way all is fine and desired packages are installed.

I didn't think that the problem is regarding the tree?

Now, for some specifics servers we need specifics repos for particular application. My question is : is it possible to insert this particular repo during a new kickstart installation? Hope that my question is more understandable?

Thanks and best regards,
Jérôme

Hi Jerome

I've been using Spacewalk to patch systems for a little while but only started to look in to provisioning with Spacewalk more recently.

However, if I understand your question properly, the Base Channel is set when creating a Kickstart Distribution. Subsequently, this is where the packages will come from for installation.

Note, unlike Satellite, Spacewalk does NOT make the OS disk structure (Kickstart Tree) required for installation - this needs to be performed as a separate task. The Tree Path, within Kickstart Distribution, should be set to whatever location you download these to.

As Spacewalk is utilising Kickstart/Koan and Cobbler, under the covers, I believe there'll be other ways of achieving the same thing, in an even more automated way, though.

Regards
Phil

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have an idea if it is possible with kickstart (Spacewalk) to define once a specific repo on a server during his creation?

Thanks and best regards,
Jerome
