I’m working on RHEL 5 deployment on KVM host . I managed to bootstrap fully
functional RHEL chef node using postinstallation command and chef-full distro
parameter :
#knife bootstrap IP -d chef-full
After that new chef client is listed in the clients list . There is no problem
with that .
Now I want to automate the same task but when creating new VM .Since there is
no template for the RHEL5 I used the one from Centos5 .
When I run this command KVM VM will be created but some sort of error shows
up anyway and chef client won’t be installed on new RHEL5 VM . I expected
this would bootstrap new client as well .
knife kvm vm create -VV --template-file ~/.chef/bootstrap/centos5-gems.erb
