NAME

6       cobbler-register - create a cobbler system record
7

SYNOPSIS

9       cobbler-register [--server=<cobbler.example.org>]
10       --profile=<cobbler-profile-name> [--fqdn=<hostname>]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Running cobbler-register on a system will create a cobbler system
14       record for that system on a remote cobbler server.  No changes will be
15       made on the system itself.
16

DETAILS

18       When installing new machines into a cobbler managed datacenter/lab, it
19       helps to not have to manually enter in the network information for
20       those systems.  Using cobbler register either from a kickstart or a
21       live environment (or even SSH) can help seed the cobbler database.
22
23       Network information is discovered automatically for all physical
24       interfaces.  cobbler-register will attempt to discover the hostname,
25       though if 'localhost.localdomain' is found, it will have to use some
26       other data for the cobbler system record.  This is probably not what
27       you want, so specify --fqdn in this instance to override that
28       registration value.
29
30       For this to work, the "register_new_installs" setting must be enabled
31       on the remote cobbler server.
32
33       When the remote system record is created, for safety reasons, it will
34       be set in Cobbler to be "netboot disabled".  Use "cobbler system edit
35       --name=foo --netboot-enabled=1" to set the machine to reinstall, where
36       "foo" is the name of the new system record.
37

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

39       cobbler-register respects the COBBLER_SERVER variable to specify the
40       cobbler server to use.  This is a convenient way to avoid using the
41       --server option.  This variable is set automatically on systems
42       installed via cobbler, assuming standard kickstart templates are used.
43       If you need to change this on an installed system, edit
44       /etc/profile.d/cobbler.{csh,sh}.
45

ADDITIONAL

47       Reading the cobbler manpage, the koan manpage, and cobbler.github.io is
48       highly recommended.
