It is intended to alter some hardware setup for virtualized Management Classes (Management classes for external config management).Ī string identifying the distribution, this should be something like rhel6. Special snippets to be found in your automatic installation template in order for this to work.Īutomatic installation templating is described later on in this document. Opposed to kernel options fed to the installer. This is just like -kernel-options, though it governs kernel options on the installed OS, as This example passes the arguments foo=bar baz=3 asdf but will make sure gulp is not passedĮven if it was requested at a level higher up in the Cobbler configuration. To remove a kernel argument that may be added by a higher Cobbler object (or in the globalĮxample: -kernel-options="foo=bar baz=3 asdf !gulp" Sets kernel command-line arguments that the distro, and profiles/systems depending on it, will use.

The file used for the answer file, regardless of the breed setting, is the value used for Wiki for the latest information about support for these distributions. Support for other types of distributions is possible in the future. There is limited experimental support for specifying “debian”, “ubuntu”, or “suse”, which treats theĪutomatic installation template file as a preseed/autoyast file format and changes the kernelĪrguments appropriately. Defaults to redhat, which is a suitable value for Fedora andĬentOS as well. Valid options for list items are >, grub, pxe, ipxe.Ĭontrols how various physical and virtual parameters, including kernel arguments for automatic TFTP Boot Files (Files copied into tftpboot beyond the kernel/initrd).īoot loader space delimited list (Network installation boot loaders). See the section on “Kickstart Templating” for further information. Templates are powered using Cheetah and areĭescribed further along in this manpage as well as on the Cobbler Wiki.Įxample: -autoinstall-meta="foo=bar baz=3 asdf" This is an advanced feature that sets automatic installation template variables to substitute, thusĮnabling those files to be treated as templates. If you perform a cobbler import, the arch field will be auto-assigned. X86 and x86_64 effectively do the same thing as standard.

The default setting ( standard) will use pxelinux. Sets the architecture for the PXE bootloader and also controls how Koan’s -replace-self option $ cobbler distro add -name =string -kernel =path -initrd =path
