[PLUG] cobbler and koan

[Daniel Herrington]

Does anybody use cobbler for automated deployment?

I'm banging my head trying to get koan to integrate with a remote KVM, but
it just doesn't seem capable of it.

I've got a cobbler server that is a vm of another server that is acting as
a hypervisor. I setup virsh on both sides so that the cobbler server can
use virsh commands to the libvirtd of the bypervisor on 192.168.122.1. I
can start, list, modify images on the hypervisor using virsh from the
cobbler server. However, koan only creates images locally on the cobbler
server, not 192.168.122.1.

Koan appears to be a wrapper around virt-install, and virt-install uses the
-c option to provide connection info for the hypervisor. Before I hack koan
python scripts, I figured I'd ask and see if anyone encnoutered this before.

thanks,
