Common bkr options are described in the Options section of bkr(1).

Exit status¶

Non-zero on error, otherwise zero.

Examples¶

Reserve a particular system, provision it, do some work on it, and then release it:

bkr system-reserve system1.example.invalid
bkr system-provision --kernel-opts "nogpt" \
                     --distro-tree 12345 \
                     system1.example.invalid
# do some work on the system
bkr system-release system1.example.invalid
