Description Lukas Zapletal 2018-08-08 07:03:24 UTC 
Therefore FDI cannot be booted from HDD and/or HDD cannot be initialized, partitioned and image-deployed manually.

Comment 4 Lukas Zapletal 2018-10-03 15:24:12 UTC 
This was actually fixed as well in FDI 3.5.

QA: To verify, boot FDI in VMWare VM, ssh to it and verify that disk is present as /dev/sda or /dev/vda.
Comment 6 Jitendra Yejare 2018-12-13 13:45:51 UTC 
Verified!

@ Satellite 6.5 snap 7.0

Steps:

1. Copy FDI image from satellite servers /usr/share/foreman-discovery-image/foreman-discovery-image-3.5.3-1.iso to VMWare datastore.(for PXELess Discovery)
2. Boot VM from above ISO.
3. Wait for DHCP to assign IP.
4. Provide satellite server URL.
5. Allow Discovery to happen
6. Take SSH of that machine.
7. Verify disk is present as /dev/sda or /dev/vda


Observation:

1. The disk is present as /dev/sda
2. Discovery is successful.


Logs:

# ll /dev/sda 
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 Dec 13 12:47 /dev/sda

# fdisk -l | grep sda
Disk /dev/sda: 21.5 GB, 21474836480 bytes, 41943040 sectors
