This Hammer CLI plugin contains set of commands for foreman_bootdisk, a plugin to Foreman for ISO/USB booting support
Basic configuration of Hammer to communicate with Foreman is covered in the hammer-cli-foreman documentation:
To download the generic disk (ISO/USB) image, run:
hammer bootdisk generic
Or to download a per-host disk, run:
hammer bootdisk host --host client.example.com
Or to download a subnet disk, run:
hammer bootdisk subnet --subnet mysubnet
Files will be downloaded into the current directory unless --file is used to set the
destination:
hammer bootdisk generic --file /tmp/generic.iso
If a device is given to --file, you can write the image directly to it by adding the
--force option. Needless to say, but double check the device name is correct to
avoid overwriting the wrong disk.
hammer bootdisk generic --file /dev/sdb --force
When running hammer as an unprivileged user with no access to the device, add --sudo
to execute sudo dd for the copy. Password prompts may be shown if NOPASSWD is not
configured.
hammer bootdisk generic --file /dev/sdb --force --sudo
We build rpms, debs and gems. Alternatively you can install hammer from a git checkout. See our Hammer CLI installation and configuration instuctions.
If one of hammer commands doesn't work as you would expect, you can run hammer -d ... to get
full debug output from the loggers. It should give you an idea what went wrong.
