A continuation of my Satellite 6 deployment.

Any one know how the kickstart files work in satellite?


Hoping someone can advise me how to structure my kickstarter scripts in satellite to achieve the same thing we currently have via cobbler. For an explanation of what cobbler is if you are unaware you can find here: http://cobbler.github.io/manuals/2.8.0/3/5_-_Kickstart_Templating.html

I think the most important thing to note is that cobbler kickstart templating provides the ability to declare variables on cobbler objects like distributions, profiles, and systems. Now how do you do the same thing via satellite?

On a separate note to create snippets I assume you simply check the box that says 'snippet' on the type tab? Any snippets referenced in kickstarter scripts will be automatically found as long as they exist and marked as 'snippet' in the provision templates list?

But as above, how do you make sure the right snippets get applied per system/profile?

I found this:

https://access.redhat.com/documenta...uring_the_provisioning_environment-parameters

But now sure how you would reference these parameters in you kickstart scripts.
