buildks: Builds kickstart files using ks_template.tmpl as a template Usage: buildks [options] <fqdn> <ipaddress> <netmask> <gateway> You must specify each of these arguments. `buildks -h` will invoke a simple help menu. You can edit configuration options in /etc/ks-build/ks-build.conf Example: (Note: buildks is in root's path on rhn) buildks -b bakerlu_bootstrap.sh bakerlu-sb.missouri.edu 128.206.0.157 255.255.255.192 128.206.0.190 The kickstart file will be named <fqdn>.ks; it is written to /var/www/html/pub/ks/. The following options are set by default: -Arch=x86_64 -Release=5 -Bootstrap=bootstrap.sh (default DoIT group on RHN) -Dns=128.206.10.2 --skip-validate These defaults can be overriden by supplying the approprate options. Consider the following: buildks --skip-validate -r 6 -a i386 -b bakerlu_bootstrap.sh bakerlu-sb.missouri.edu 128.206.0.157 255.255.255.192 128.206.0.190 In this example, a kickstart was created with the following parameters: -No validation checks performed. A use case would be deploying a machine in the testlab. -Release is RHEL6 -Architecture is i386 -Bootstrap file to be used is bakerlu_bootstrap.sh
