Description Xixi 2016-04-18 20:08:53 UTC
Description of problem:
For Satellite 6.2 Beta the new installer is foreman-installer, with default scenario as foreman, which is not the correct one to use for Satellite install; there is also no messaging in the utility to use katello if installing Satellite.

Customers can easily and very likely choose the default foreman-scenario when trying to install Sat 6.2 Beta, and end up with incomplete Sat6 install/missing functionality which would look like an issue/bug - for example "not see content and subscription related menu items, (i.e. wouldn't be able to import a manifest)" - rather than having chosen the wrong scenario.

To avoid unnecessary customer confusion and pain, we need to:
a) delete foreman scenario for beta;
and
b) state clearly in foreman-installer commandline (when run without arguments and when listing/running scenarios) to use katello scenario for Satellite installation, and capsule scenario for Capsule installation.

"Install Satellite server with Capsule"

Thank you Martin - to clarify this for customers, could we change "Capsule" to "Integrated Capsule"?  or remove "with Capsule" if it's always implied with a Satellite 6 installation, whichever is more consistent with the Installation Guide docs).

Comment 5 Martin Bacovsky 2016-04-19 11:41:43 UTC
Description was changed to "Install Satellite server with Integrated Capsule".

Comment 6 Lukas Pramuk 2016-04-21 12:19:05 UTC
VERIFIED.

@Sat6.2.0-Beta-Snap9
foreman-installer-1.11.0.3-1.el7sat.noarch

# foreman-installer --list-scenarios
Available scenarios
  Capsule (use: --scenario capsule)
        Install a stand-alone Capsule.
  Katello (INSTALLED)
        Install Satellite server with Integrated Capsule

# foreman-installer --scenario foreman
ERROR: Scenario (/etc/foreman-installer/scenarios.d/foreman.yaml) was not found, can not continue

>>> now Katello scenario has decent description and Foreman scenario doesn't exist
