https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=636692 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=636692#c0 Summary: kiwi: Addition of non-contiguous hardware/ip grouping functionality Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: System Imaging AssignedTo: ms@novell.com ReportedBy: cbowlby@tenthpowertech.com QAContact: adrian@novell.com Found By: Community User Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=387217) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=387217) Patch to add non-contiguous hardware/ip address grouping. This patch adds a means of creating "groups" of systems within, but not limited to, PXE/netboot based images. This initial patch is a submission is a request for review, I am willing to support/modify if additional changes are needed/requested. Some additional notes. To create a group a new file called "KIWI/config.group" needs to be used on the boot server, it can contain the following content: KIWI_GROUP="test1, test2, test3" test1_KIWI_MAC_LIST="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, etc" test2_KIWI_MAC_LIST="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, etc" test3_KIWI_MAC_LIST="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, etc" test1, test2 and test3 are simply group names, and can be anything within the following range of characters "a-zA-Z0-9_". The xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx represent the MAC address of the system being "grouped". In addition, a "group config" file for the the group itself needs to be created, based on the group name(s) listed in KIWI_GROUP, such that the above example would have the following files: KIWI/config.test1 KIWI/config.test2 KIWI/config.test3 The contents of these files are exactly the same as would be applied to a config.<MAC> file. The only difference is that any machine listed in the appropriate "xxx_KIWI_MAC_LIST" will use the configuration file vs having one configuration file for each machine. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Also, I can help support that section of KIWI if you'd like. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The version is automatically added to the document. - I also changed your patch a bit in terms of bash code, bash doesn't required ";" at the end of the line :-) all in now Thanks -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
