Hi Tommy,
thanks you very much ! we succeed to automatically insert all the vms in
RackTables
for rackTables users : we change the parameter AutoPorts for the type server
(4) : ( 4 = 1*33*kvm + 2*24*eth%u;15 = 1*446*kvm changed to 15 = 1*446*kvm)
now, i have to find the best way to fill the rackspace information (we use
vmware Ressource Pools as Rackspace objects) and i will be sure to have all my
servers in RackTables
Thanks for your work and your help
Best Regards
Abdel

Hi Abdel
I have been able to reproduse this, and it seems to be because of a
configuration option which adds ports by default to an object. If you disable
this, ports and IP allocation should start working.
Best regards,
Tommy

Hi,
i am coming back. Your puppet are really great. I have installed it, and now i
can directly insert all my vms in RackTables .
i have only one little problem: all my fields are filled in RackTables except
the ip address (and the mac address).

macaddress :

Hi
I did an implementation of this using puppets[1] facter[2] for info gathering.
It is sort of limited to fetching objects and importing them.
I haven't had time to implement diff/modification yet.
http://racktables.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/racktables/contribs/yaml_import/
If you don't like the yaml/puppet format you still might be able to use the
methods and framework for importing your own lists.
Best regards,
