set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.

This feature could be used to deploy next generation of RHEV-H.

Per 6.3 planning, moving out non acked bugs to the backlog

Can someone set the RHEV layered product?

(In reply to Fabian Deutsch from comment #13)
> Can someone set the RHEV layered product?

I don't believe that layer product exists in this bugzilla product.

The documentation has moved, it's now on http://pykickstart.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kickstart-docs.html#liveimg

Can you reply to comment #15?

Usage/verification notes.

The introduction to the hypervisor provisioning is available in lzap's short walk-through https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6IvTkjhSx8&feature=youtu.be

To use the Satellite-managed content, one can follow this steps (with possible customizations if needed):

ORG="Default Organization"
PRODUCT="RHVH"
REPO="image"
IMG_PATH="squashfs.img"
AK="rhvh"
CONTENT_VIEW="Default Organization View"
OS="RedHat 7.4"
CONTENT_SOURCE_ID=1 # id of smart proxy/capsule to be used as content source
HOSTGROUP="RHVH"
SUBSCRIPTION="4028f9505ffd45930160083350a31bfb" # subscription id to be use for subscribing the hypervisor

# Download the hypervisor ISO from https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/150/ver=4.1/rhel---7/4.1/x86_64/product-software (something like RHVH-4.1-20180315.0-RHVH-x86_64-dvd1.iso)

# mount the iso:
mkdir -p /media/rhvh
mount -o loop RHVH-4.*-RHVH-x86_64-dvd1.iso /media/rhvh

# extract the squashfs image
rpm2cpio /media/rhvh/Packages/redhat-virtualization-host-image-update* | cpio -idmv
mv usr/share/redhat-virtualization-host/image/redhat-virtualization-host-*.el7_4.squashfs.img "$IMG_PATH"

# Prepare repository and upload the image
hammer product create --name "$PRODUCT" --organization "$ORG"
hammer repository create --name "$REPO" --product "$PRODUCT" --organization "$ORG" --content-type=file
hammer repository upload-content --name "$REPO" --product "$PRODUCT" --organization "$ORG" --path "$IMG_PATH"

# Prepare activation key
hammer activation-key create --name "$AK" --content-view "$CONTENT_VIEW" --lifecycle-environment Library  --organization "$ORG" 
hammer activation-key add-subscription --name "$AK" --subscription-id="$SUBSCRIPTION" --organization "$ORG"

# create a host group
hammer hostgroup create --name "$HOSTGROUP" --architecture=x86_64 --operatingsystem="$OS" --lifecycle-environment="Library" --content-view="$CONTENT_VIEW" --query-organization="$ORG" --content-source-id="$CONTENT_SOURCE_ID" --partition-table="Kickstart default thin" --pxe-loader="PXELinux BIOS"
hammer hostgroup set-parameter --hostgroup "$HOSTGROUP" --name "kt_activation_keys" --value="$AK"
hammer hostgroup set-parameter --hostgroup "$HOSTGROUP" --name "liveimg_name" --value="custom/$PRODUCT/$REPO/squashfs.img"

# assign the templates to host group
hammer template add-operatingsystem --name 'Kickstart oVirt-RHVH' --operatingsystem "$OS"
hammer template add-operatingsystem --name 'Kickstart oVirt-RHVH PXELinux' --operatingsystem "$OS"

# to assign the templates to the host group, one needs to go to WEBUI editing page of 'Kickstart oVirt-RHVH' and 'Kickstart oVirt-RHVH PXELinux', and in 'Associations' tab, add combination with $HOSTGROUP combination

# After thins, the hostgroup should be ready to be used for provisioning the RHV hypervisor using the squashfs image

Usage notes

I've realized the bugzilla comments is not the best way to share the usage script due to wrapping, attaching it as file

Upstream bug assigned to inecas

Upstream bug assigned to inecas

Build: Satellite 6.3.1.1 Snap2

I see the templates are rendered correctly, but still I am not able to provision using any other CV and Lifecycle Environment 

I noticed that, while fetching the file from Installation media

http://sat-host/pulp/isos/Default_Organization/Library/custom/RHVH/image/squashfs.img

While provisioning the Installation media is appended by
 
http://sat-host/pulp/isos/Default_Organization/Library/custom/RHVH/image/LiveOS/squashfs.img
PFA

Am I missing something? 

I am using the published URL that Satellite generated when the repository was created as the URL for installation media

This Only happens in case of have the host provisioned in a CV under some Lifecycle

The provision happens successfully for "Default Org View and Library"

Build: Satellite 6.3.1.1 Snap3

The RHVH box was provisioned and registered successfully
