Fixed In Version:	openstack-foreman-installer-1.0.6-1.el6ost	Doc Type:	Enhancement
Doc Text:	Feature: Added a PROVISIONING_INTERFACE environment variable to allow users to specify something other than the inferred default. Reason: Previously, the provisioning interface was assumed to be the secondary interface on the foreman server. This was a bit inflexible and made things difficult if the server had more than 3 interfaces. Result: Users can now specify the above environment variable to use the interface of their choice for provisioning.	Story Points:	---

Description Jason Guiditta 2014-03-18 16:02:06 UTC

Description of problem: Previously, the provisioning interface was assumed to be the secondary interface on the foreman server.  This was a bit inflexible and made things difficult if the server had more than 3 interfaces.  From the contributed pull request:



"This modifies the installer script to accept an environment variable PROVISIONING_INTERFACE to use, instead of guessing the interface. If no interface specified, defaults to guessing.

This also allows the installer to use the same interface for provisioning as the gateway interface.

Lastly, tweaks the default dhcp range to 50-100, since this interferes with /25 nets. Ideally there should be logic to derive the proper range."


this has already been merged to master, and people in the field have requested similar functionality.  Pull request here:

Taking this back (didn't notice assignee was changed), since we had already merged it, no time needed on your part Jirka

Comment 8 Omri Hochman 2014-05-05 19:55:37 UTC

Verified with :openstack-foreman-installer-1.0.6-2.el6ost.noarch

(1)Set an IP on eth3 - ifconfig  eth3 10.35.164.244 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
(2)edit /usr/share/openstack-foreman-installer/bin/foreman_server.sh
- FOREMAN_PROVISIONING=true
-FOREMAN_GATEWAY=false
-PROVISIONING_INTERFACE=eth3
(3) run: foreman_server.sh
(4) check on which interface the DHCP is running on :
 ps -ef | grep dhcp
dhcpd    24167     1  0 22:49 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/dhcpd -user dhcpd -group dhcpd eth3
root     24174 19627  0 22:49 pts/2    00:00:00 grep dhcp

Results: 
---------
the provision_interface/dhcp started on the chosen NIc -> eth3
