Description Vladimir Vasilev 2014-09-22 15:14:35 UTC 
Description of problem:
When provisioning new RHEL VM to RHEV Compute Resource the newly created instance has Operating System set to "Other OS". In Satellite the operating system is configured as:
Name: RedHat
Major version: 6
Minor version: 5
Description: RHEL 6.5
OS Family: Red Hat
Architectures: x86_64

I had to change parameters in RHEV which are available only for Linux (for example kernel/initrd) and it's not possible if the VM is listed as "Other OS".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Satellite create Operating System part of Red Hat family. 
2. Provision new VM with Operating System from step 1 in RHEV Compute Resource.
3. Login to RHEV-M and check the actual value of "Operating System" for that VM.

Actual results:
Operating System is set to "Other OS"

Expected results:
Operating System is set to "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x x64"

Comment 4 Bryan Kearney 2015-08-25 18:08:03 UTC 
Upstream bug component is Compute Resources
Comment 7 Ivan Necas 2016-04-12 11:19:11 UTC 
The patches were merged upstream:

https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/pull/3308
https://github.com/abenari/rbovirt/pull/104
https://github.com/abenari/rbovirt/pull/106

Since the change was not that trivial, I advice not getting it into 6.1+ as it might cause conflicts with other potential 6.1+ backports later and lead to some instabilities.
Comment 8 Bryan Kearney 2017-05-19 12:45:30 UTC 
We will not be addressing this bug in the 6.1 code base. If you have concerns with this, please feel free to reach out to me with any concerns or issues you may have. Thank you.
