Group Kernel Arguments not applied to Host after adding Host to Group while Full Registration

[Ceregon]

Hi there,

after my recent post i wanted to work out a method to simplify setting the Host Kernel Arguments to “mdraid=true” for new clients.

I created in the web-management a new group and set the Group Kernel Arguments to “mraid=true”.
When i add a Host to this group in the web-management this argument gets correctly applied to the Host.

When i boot into PXE and add the Host to this Group while Full Registration the argument doesn’t gets applied to the Host correctly. I select in Full Registration, that i want to deploy an image directly. I need to get into web-management and simply click update in the group.

Always updating the Group in web-management is not that practical.

Is there a method to get this running?

@Ceregon Under FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings, press the expand all button and then search for kernel. In there search for kernel parameters. Add the kernel parameter there. It will be applied to all hosts and all boot methods. For this specific parameter its OK to have it enabled on all hosts, even ones that don’t use software raid.

@george1421 Nice i will do that. I had the fear, that when we will have machines without software-raid that will make problems. Thank you

That setting just enables the possibility of software raid in the kernel, you still need to use the mdm utility to configure it.
