Description Justin Sherrill 2009-04-27 21:23:55 UTC

In satellite 5.2 in prior you could bare metal kickstart a machine through a proxy by simply replacing the hostname in a kickstart URL with the hostname of the proxy.

In satellite 5.3 you cannot do this.  Even if you hack it to proxy the kickstart file,  none of the URLs within the kickstart file ( distro url, registration url) are modified to go through the proxy.

Comment 1 Mike McCune 2009-04-27 21:32:01 UTC

moving to sat530-ks, gotta make sure this works.

Comment 2 Mike McCune 2009-04-29 01:53:32 UTC

we search-replace the cobbler host in the KS file. 

Simple way to test is to hit the baremetal URL:

Satellite:

 http://somesat.rhndev.redhat.com/ks/cfg/org/1/label/mmccune-rhel5-i386

Proxy:

 http://someproxy.rhndev.redhat.com/ks/cfg/org/1/label/mmccune-rhel5-i386

you should not see any instances of somesat.rhndev.redhat.com if you download that kickstart file through the proxy.

ON_QA

Comment 4 Miroslav Suchý 2009-07-02 15:04:31 UTC

VERIFIED.
all url are replaced.
I tried to do KS and it indeed use proxy. In the middle I had to stop due to bug in vmware so I did not finish whole KS, but it seems unnecessary.

Comment 5 Sayli Karmarkar 2009-08-20 22:52:54 UTC

I kickstarted a xen guest using a bare metal kickstart profile through proxy. Guest was kickstarted without any issues. 
 
Moving to release_pending.
