cobbler_system – Manage system objects in Cobbler¶
New in version 2.7.
Parameters¶
Notes¶
Note
- Concurrently syncing Cobbler is bound to fail with weird errors.
- On python 2.7.8 and older (i.e. on RHEL7) you may need to tweak the python behaviour to disable certificate validation. More information at Certificate verification in Python standard library HTTP clients.
