Import now takes an --arch, which is now a recommended field, to ensure
best practices in naming.

For instance, if you import a distribution named "fedora8" from an ISO, and it's an x86_64 ISO, specify --arch=x86_64 and the distro will be named "fedora8-x86_64" automatically, and the right architecture field will also be set on the distribution object. If you are batch importing an entire mirror (containing multiple distributions and arches), you don't have to do this, as cobbler will set the names for things based on the paths it finds. + B<cobbler check> -B<cobbler import --path=rsync://yourfavoritemirror.com/foo --name=anyname> +B<cobbler import --path=rsync://yourfavoritemirror.com/foo --name=rhel5 --arch=x86> # OR -B<cobbler import --path=/mnt/dvd --name=anyname> +B<cobbler import --path=/mnt/dvd --name=rhel5 --arch=x86_64> # OR (using an eternal NAS box without mirroring) @@ -576,11 +578,11 @@ After an import is run, cobbler will try to detect the distribution type and aut Mirrored content is saved automatically in /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror. -Example: B<cobbler import --mirror=rsync://mirrorserver.example.com/path/ --name=fedora> +Example: B<cobbler import --mirror=rsync://mirrorserver.example.com/path/ --name=fedora --arch=x86> Example2: B<cobbler import --mirror=root@192.168.1.10:/stuff --name=bar> -Example3: B<cobbler import --mirror=/mnt/dvd --name=baz> +Example3: B<cobbler import --mirror=/mnt/dvd --name=baz --arch=x86_64> Example4: B<cobbler import --mirror=/path/to/stuff --name=glorp> |
