AutoYaST xml profile on suma4.x

[tinorienaecker]

Hi Jason,

to do an Installation with PXE you need follow thinks configure on SUMA:

• DHCP with correct entry e.g. “nextserver” (I think its working allready)
• An clone of the SUSE original channel (original SUSE Channel is possible but not recomended, if you want to administrate you patch level) Which one you want to use? How is you channel name?
• an distribution for SLES15SP3 , GUI → System → autoinstallation → distribution (I think you have one)
• the customized Autoyast Profile (this create for you an cobbler profile)

did you use the autoyast template in an exact copy?
You have to change some thinks like the addons section? with correkt SUMA domain name and you configure disto?

I think your error is may regarding your missing porile and autoyast file. So did you add your system, with the cobler command “cobbler system add …” ?
Remember, that this is an profile on github, not the final autoyast file for you client.
you have to generate it by using the “cobbler system add…” command

I explain it a little bit in the old post here:

How to add new systems for autoinstallation

Hi Achim, I use the autoyast profile with cobbler for automation. You can use it in that way: Generate an autoyast profile on the SUMA. Use Cobbler to generate the tftp - PXE configs cobbler system add --name=$HOSTNAME --mac-address=${BOOTMAC} --ip-address=${IP} --profile=$COBBLER_PROFILE The Name of the cobbler profile you can see with this command: “cobbler profile list” Here some more settings you can set: “cobbler system add --help” If you have to use variables, which you set in yo…

Did you have done all these steps? If not which one is missing or unclear?

please show me follow output
