Description
No, not SQL.
But, I'd really like it if I could ask Cobbler to dump a system (possibly other entry types too) using the same sort of logic one gets from a RDBMS when executing a "SQL Dump" type of command.
Yes 'cobbler system report --name foobar' gives the HUMAN readable format but I'd love to be able to get an output that I can capture and archive which would permit me to recreate the system entries in Cobbler directly.
Instead of getting a long textual output with all the settings the end system will receive (based on the profile, and inherited from other aspects of the definition) which looks like:
cobbler system report --name foobar
Name : foobar
TFTP Boot Files : {}
Comment :
Enable gPXE? : False
Fetchable Files : {}
Gateway :
Hostname : foobar.domain.my
Image :
IPv6 Autoconfiguration : False
IPv6 Default Device :
Kernel Options : {}
Kernel Options (Post Install) : {}
Kickstart : <<inherit>>
Kickstart Metadata : {}
LDAP Enabled : False
LDAP Management Type : authconfig
Management Classes : ['development']
Management Parameters : <<inherit>>
I'd rather get something more concise such as: (Wrapped for readability)
cobbler system remove --name foobar
cobbler system add --name foobar --hostname foobar.domain.my --profile drone \
--status production --mgmt-classes="'drone'" --netboot-enabled No
cobbler system edit --name foobar --interface em1 --static Yes \
--mac-address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff --ip-address 10.x.x.x \
--management Yes --netmask 255.0.0.0
cobbler system edit --name foobar --interface em2 --static Yes \
--mac-address xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --ip-address 10.2.15.103 \
--management No --netmask 255.240.0.0
Anything not explicitly defined/altered at this level is more often than not an "<<inherit>>" from the profile or distribution above it.
