Description Milan Zázrivec 2009-10-23 12:42:19 UTC

Description of problem:
KVM virtual guests provisioned from Satellite webui fail to restart
after installation / kickstart of new guest successfully finishes.
(restarting the guest after installation finishes is what rhn-kickstart
used to do in pre-cobbler era).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhn-virtualization-5.3.0-12


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Satellite 5.3.0 (or later), register RHEL-5 KVM host to it (RHEL-5.4,
x86_64, full virt support)
2. Create a virtual guest KVM kickstart profile & provision a KVM
guest from satellite webui.
3. See the guest installation all the way to the end.
4. Observe whether or not the guest restarts after the installation finishes.

  
Actual results:
The guest stays down. To start the guest, you need to intervene manually.


Expected results:
Guest should start, no manual steps should be required.


Additional info:
Described behavior affects both KVM & Xen guests. This change came with
koan / spacewalk-koan as a client side packages handling client
provisioning.

created ks for kvm-guest
kickstart of kvm-guest from webUI
after +1m kvm-guest was restarted - tried many-times with kvm-guest rhel5i386/x8664
