Patch submitted to gerrit.ovirt.org: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/8481/ Hi Nigjones, I found there is no rhn_username + rhn_password in your parameters, both the rhn_username and rhn_password parameters must be provided. There is a link for Red Hat Network (RHN) Parameters. http://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Hypervisor_Deployment_Guide/sect-Deployment_Guide-RHEV_Hypervisor_Kernel_Parameters_and_Automated_Installation-RHN_parameters.html RHEV-H QE test two builds with below auto parameters: rhev-hypervisor6-6.3-20121010.2.el6_3 rhev-hypervisor6-6.3-20120815.0.el6_3 public RHN 1. auto install and register rhev-h to public rhn with rhn_username + rhn_password can successful, after reboot RHN status can show "RHN". Search with activation key in rhn web page can find RHEV-H host. BOOTIF=em1 storage_init=/dev/sda adminpw=[password] management_server=10.66.11.91 rhn_username=qa rhn_password=[password] rhn_activationkey=[key] firstboot 2. without rhn_username + rhn_password parameters, register will fail. BOOTIF=em1 storage_init=/dev/sda adminpw=[password] management_server=10.66.11.91 rhn_activationkey=[key] firstboot Satellite 1. auto install and register rhev-h to satellite with rhn_username + rhn_password can successful, after reboot RHN status can show "satellite". BOOTIF=em1 storage_init=/dev/sda adminpw=[password] management_server=10.66.11.91 rhn_username=ycui rhn_password=[password] rhn_url=https://10.66.73.127 rhn_ca_cert=https://10.66.73.127/pub/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERt rhn_activationkey=[key] firstboot 2. without rhn_username + rhn_password parameters, register will fail. BOOTIF=em1 storage_init=/dev/sda adminpw=[password] management_server=10.66.11.91 rhn_url=https://10.66.73.127 rhn_ca_cert=https://10.66.73.127/pub/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERt rhn_activationkey=[key] firstboot Can you add username + password parameter and try again? Thanks! Either username/password or activation key should work. Joey, can you look at this patch upstream? Test version: rhev-hypervisor6-6.4-20121015.1.el6 ovirt-node-2.5.0-7.el6_4.noarch Tried: 1.BOOTIF=eth0 storage_init=/dev/sda rhn_activationkey=1-satdefault firstboot Pass 2.BOOTIF=eth0 storage_init=/dev/sda rhn_activationkey=1-satdefault rhn_url= xxxx rhn_ca_cert=xxxxx firstboot Pass 3.BOOTIF=eth0 storage_init=/dev/sda rhn_username=xxxxx rhn_password=xxxxx firstboot Pass 4.BOOTIF=eth0 storage_init=/dev/sda rhn_username=xxxxx rhn_password=xxxxxx rhn_url=xxxxxx rhn_ca_cert=xxxx firstboot Pass So the issue has been fixed. re-test on version rhev-hypervisor6-6.4-20121212.1.el6 to try follow: 1.BOOTIF=eth0 storage_init=/dev/sda rhn_activationkey=1-satdefault firstboot Pass 2.BOOTIF=eth0 storage_init=/dev/sda rhn_activationkey=1-satdefault rhn_url= xxxx rhn_ca_cert=xxxxx firstboot Pass so bug was fixed on this version. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.

Description of problem: Installing a hypervisor via PXE and the option rhn_activationkey=1-myactivationkey results in the failure to register to RHN/RHN Satellite. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ovirt-node 2.3.0 + (based on code read) upstream ovirt-node How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure pxelinux.cfg/default with options similar to: label r2 KERNEL rhev-20120815/rhevh-vmlinuz APPEND rootflags=loop initrd=rhev-20120815/rhevh-initrd root=live:/rhevh-6.3-20120815.0.el6_3.iso rootfstype=auto ro liveimg nomodeset check rootflags=ro crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M elevator=deadline processor.max_cstate=1 rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM rdshell pci=bfsort upgrade storage_init=/dev/sda storage_vol=::::: ip=dhcp adminpw=[password] rhevm_admin_password=[password] rootpw=[password] management_server=rhevm.example.com mem_overcommit=1.0 ssh_pwauth=1 rhn_ca_cert=https://rhnsat.example.com/pub/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT rhn_url=https://rhnsat.example.com BOOTIF=eth0 rhn_activationkey=1-satdefault 2. Post install, examine /var/log/ovirt.log 3. Post install, try: [root@lab2 admin]# python Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, May 1 2012, 13:52:17) [GCC 4.4.6 20110731 (Red Hat 4.4.6-3)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from ovirtnode.ovirtfunctions import * >>> from ovirt_config_setup.rhn import * >>> rhn_auto() Actual results: /var/log/ovirt.log missing any references to RHN & python resulting in: >>> rhn_auto() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ovirt_config_setup/rhn.py", line 358, in rhn_auto KeyError: 'OVIRT_RHN_USERNAME' Lastly, the system does not appear in RHN or Satellite. Expected results: Registration to succeed, and rhn_auto() to return True. Additional info: The issue appears to come down to the way we verify and check for presence of various variables during the registration process. A patch/gerrit will be added once the bug number is generated, to ensure that this doesn't happen in other vague situations, I've implemented in a loop to set the non-present options, to "" & added a couple of comments for readability.
