Bug 834286

This is likely a generic ovirt-node/rhev-hypervisor problem.  Moving to ovirt-node for investigation.

Test version:
rhevh-6.3-20120621.0.el6_3

Test step:
Auto install RHEV-H with below parameters:
BOOTIF=eth0 storage_init=/dev/sda dns=10.66.11.102:10.66.11.91 firstboot

Test result:
1. Autoinstall does not hand over DNS properly.
2. /etc/reslov.conf isn't empty, it will be covered by dhclient.

# cat /etc/resolv.conf 
; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
search nay.redhat.com redhat.com
nameserver 10.66.127.10
nameserver 10.64.255.10
nameserver 10.11.255.155

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.

Reproduce this issue after add parameter "ip=no" to kernel command line.

Test version:
rhev-hypervisor6-6.3-20120710.0.el6_3

Test step:
Auto install RHEV-H with below parameters:
BOOTIF=eth0 ip=no storage_init=/dev/sda dns=10.66.11.102:10.66.11.91 firstboot

Test result:
1. Autoinstall doesn't hand over DNS properly.
2. /etc/reslov.conf is empty.

Martin,

Based on your pxe line, networking won't autoconfigure unless you specify a BOOTIF=XXX line or add IPAPPEND=2 I believe to auto specify it.

Can you get the logging output of the autoinstall either via serial output or a screenshot? Try adding the BOOTIF arg as well to see if that clears the problem.

    print "Configuring Network"
    if OVIRT_VARS["OVIRT_BOOTIF"] != "":
        network_auto()

oops, BOOTIF must have slipped from my copy & paste but it was there, now I tried again with following PXE line, video recording of console is attached

Addition for comment 11, host was installed again however used PXE line should be the same.
