2) Nature Of Problem:
Inactive kickstarts should not appear in the cobbler PXE menu

3) Business Requirements Satisfied By Request:
Spacewalk PXE menu should not offer kickstart
profiles that have been deactivated in the WebUI.  Old kickstarts are
confusing, and the PXE boot menu is polluted with obsolete kickstart
profiles.

4) Functional Requirements That Are Not Presently Possible:
Deactivating kickstarts in WebUI should remove them from the menu

5) What Will Success Look Like:
Cobbler PXE menu containing only active kickstarts.

This RFE looks like a dup of bug 556510.  Can you review and let us know?

the BZ is similar, but refers to kickstart profiles that are actually
removed. This RFE is about kickstart profiles that are marked as inactive.

Currently, spacewalk keeps inactive kickstarts in the PXE menu by design,
as indicated in the WebUI with a short blurb next to the "Active"
checkbox: 

"You cannot kickstart a system registered to RHN Satellite using an
inactive kickstart profile. However, the kickstart files for inactive
kickstart profiles are still available for manual download and may be used
for bare metal kickstarts."

We would like to change this behavior.

This is already implemented in cobbler:

  cobbler profile edit --name=<profile> --enable-menu=0

So setting/removing the option "active" could just result in this cobbler command beeing executed. No 'cobbler sync' required.

Comment 1 Grant Gainey 2013-04-18 12:38:11 UTC

Test case:
=========

1) Create a KS profile in spacewalk, "TEST101"
2) From cobbler, look at that profile's "Enable PXE Menu?" value:
   $> cobbler profile report name=TEST101:1::RedHatInternalUseOnly
   ...
   Enable PXE Menu?               : True
   ...
3) From the Kickstart Details page for TEST101 in the WebUI, uncheck Active
4) Choose Update
5) From cobbler, look at that profile's "Enable PXE Menu?" value

EXPECTED:
   Enable PXE Menu?               : False

6) From the Kickstart Details page for TEST101 in the WebUI, check Active
4) Choose Update
5) From cobbler, look at that profile's "Enable PXE Menu?" value

EXPECTED:
   Enable PXE Menu?               : True
