Cobbler

Warning

This documentation is for internal use. It may be of interest to users who are curious about our internal processes and architecture, but should not be mistaken for describing services that we offer or stable infrastructure that end users should rely upon. If you find yourself submitting a ticket about something on this page, you are probably making a mistake.

HPCCF uses cobbler for provisioning and managing internal DNS.

There is a cobbler server per cluster as well as one for the public HPC VLAN.

  • cobbler.hpc - public HPC VLAN.
  • cobbler.hive - hive private and management VLANs
  • cobbler.farm - farm
  • cobbler.peloton - peloton
  • cobbler.franklin - franklin

hpc1, hpc2, and lssc0 do not have associated cobbler servers.
