Description Peter Vreman 2014-12-11 09:10:28 UTC 
Description of problem:
Updating the content view, activation-key and puppet environment of a hostgroup will not update these settings in the existing hosts that are assigned to the hostgroup.

This is a conflicting behavior with the parameters and puppet modules that are always inherited by the host from the hostgroup.

Proposal is to have an explicit setting at host level that it will always inherit the content view, activation-key and puppet environment from the hostgroup.

Without this feature it is complex and error prone (because it requires multiple manual actions) to update the content views / puppet environments of hosts per hostgroup. Especially with nested hostgroups. Where you want to change the default on the top hostgroup and expect it to be applied on all hosts.


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

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create hostgroups:
   production/group1/subgroup1
   production/group1/subgroup2
   production/group2/subgroup1
   production/group2/subgroup2
2. Create one or more hosts in each subgroup
3. Change the content view on hostgroup production

Actual results:
Content view is not changed on the hosts

Expected results:
Content view is changed also on all hosts


Additional info:
This is also a regression compared to Cobbler that had this inheritance.
