目前BootAPI 已经不再推荐在cobbler 2.0中使用，官方推荐使用使用XMLRPC
注:要正常使用API，需要确保cobbler服务器apache和cobbler正常运行
连接cobbler
import xmlrpclib
server = xmlrpclib.Server("http://cobbler-server.example.org/cobbler_api")登陆获取token，这个token在修改cobbler对象的时候需要提供，否则只能get
token = server.login("username","password")获取cobbler服务器的相关信息
#!/usr/bin/python
import xmlrpclib
server = xmlrpclib.Server("http://127.0.0.1/cobbler_api")
print server.get_distros()
print server.get_profiles()
print server.get_systems()
print server.get_p_w_picpaths()
print server.get_repos()在服务器上创建一个OS对象
import xmlrpclib
remote = xmlrpclib.Server(http://127.0.0.1/cobbler_api)
token = remote.login("username","password")
distro_id = remote.new_distro(token)
remote.modify_distro(distro_id, 'name', 'example-distro',token)
remote.modify_distro(distro_id, 'kernel', '/opt/stuff/vmlinuz',token)
remote.modify_distro(distro_id, 'initrd', '/opt/stuff/initrd.img',token)
remote.save_distro(distro_id,token)
创建一个新的主机
remote = xmlrpclib.Server("http://127.0.0.1/cobbler_api")
token = remote.login(SATELLITE_USER,SATELLITE_PASSWORD)
system_id = remote.new_system(token)
remote.modify_system(system_id,"name","hostname",token)
remote.modify_system(system_id,"hostname","hostname.example.com",token)
remote.modify_system(system_id,'modify_interface', {
"macaddress-eth0" : "01:02:03:04:05:06",
"ipaddress-eth0" : "192.168.0.1",
"dnsname-eth0" : "hostname.example.com",
}, token)
remote.modify_system(system_id,"profile","rhel6-x86_64",token)
remote.modify_system(system_id,"kernel_options", "foo=bar some=thing", token)
remote.modify_system(system_id,"ks_meta", "foo=bar some=thing", token)
remote.save_system(system_id, token)
remote.sync(token)移除一个对象
remote.remove_profile("name-of-profile",token)使用API读取ks文件内容，方便修改
remote.read_or_write_kickstart_template("/var/lib/cobbler/foo.ks",False,new_contents_as_a_string,token)
