We've been wondering how the process actually is intended to work i.e. what in the ks process is notifying the satellite to rm the file and so on. We have a very restrictive policy running on the satellite and might be blocking something. So I think the step you are missing is to enable pxe_just_once in /etc/cobbler/settings and then restart cobbler. With this enabled, a simple wget is appended to the end of the kickstart which will trigger on the server to set that system to localboot within the pxe configuration. This should solve your issue. I'll go ahead and close this bug, but feel free to reopen it if this does not correct your issue. Thanks, -Justin Hey Justin :) Thanks for the hint - that should be far better documented (in the satellite, not in cobbler or within cobbler's settings file th). I actually wonder - wouldn't it be sane to make this the default? I mean how likely is it that someone wants to re-provision a system over and over again? Thanks, Sandro / red_alert 1) pxe_just_once by default 2) document its usage in Satellite Ref/Guide Bonus, not needed.... 3) Expose in UI?? Cliff. I think this should be fixed as part of eeac1d23705f7176d3213412525bdae38403af30 Will test with the next nightly. -Justin # VERIFIED confirm: the sat540 current iso (Satellite-5.4.0-RHEL5-re20101001.1) contains pxe_just_once: 1 in /etc/cobbler/settings while the default value for sat530 servers was set to "0". The 5.4.0 RHN Satellite and RHN Proxy release has occurred. This issue has been resolved with this release.
