Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1110932
[RFE] Installer should support "optional" checks
Last modified: 2016-07-27 04:41:55 EDT
Based on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1110521, the request is for the kafo installer to have optional checks, or the ability to override them. One implementation I could see is for the check to issue a warning, which the user needs to accept to keep installing. The second would be a way to pass in a "--skip-checks-trust-me-I-know-what-I-am-doing" type flag to the installer.
Created redmine issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/6279 from this bug
Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.
Moving to POST since upstream bug http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/6279 has been closed
Hi, please provide verification steps Thanks and regards, Tazim
Tazim, the goal is that the pre-check will fail, but you can pass in a -s flag to skip the checks and do the install anyways. note, the final installation does not need to work.. just continue.. I would suggest the following: 1) Set your hostname to start with a capital letter (use the sethostname command, or hostname, or edit /etc/sysconfig/network 2) run facter and check that the fqdn shows the capital letter 3) run the installer, and the installer should fail 4) rerun the installer with -s. If the installer starts, the fix is good.
FAILEDQA: # rpm -qa foreman foreman-1.11.0.9-1.el7sat.noarch Steps: 1) Set your hostname to start with a capital letter (use the sethostname command, or hostname, or edit /etc/sysconfig/network # hostname Dell-pem610-01.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com 2) run facter and check that the fqdn shows the capital letter # hostname Dell-pem610-01.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com # hostname -f Dell-pem610-01.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com 3) run the installer, and the installer should fail # foreman-installer --scenario katello The hostname contains a a capital letter. This is not supported. Please modify the hostname to be all lowercase. If needed, change the hostname permanently via 'hostname' command and editing appropriate configuration file. (e.g. on Red Hat systems /etc/sysconfig/network). If 'hostname -f' still returns unexpected result, check /etc/hosts and put hostname entry in the correct order, for example: 1.2.3.4 full.hostname.com full Fully qualified hostname must be the first entry on the line Installing Done [100%] [....................................................................................] Success! * Katello is running at https://dell-pem610-01.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com Initial credentials are admin / SYZB6L8d4XGoUv55 * To install additional capsule on separate machine continue by running: capsule-certs-generate --capsule-fqdn "$CAPSULE" --certs-tar "~/$CAPSULE-certs.tar" The full log is at /var/log/foreman-installer/katello.log Please, note when I try to access the UI, I had to use admin/changeme to access the UI the production.log shows: with admin / SYZB6L8d4XGoUv55 2016-04-03 03:04:22 [app] [I] Started POST "/users/login" for 10.10.61.183 at 2016-04-03 03:04:22 -0400 2016-04-03 03:04:22 [app] [I] Processing by UsersController#login as HTML 2016-04-03 03:04:22 [app] [I] Parameters: {"utf8"=>"✓", "authenticity_token"=>"TW/I6DsTDRdaQ4JWRoG4bfqRbxgBqQwsHQocll422tU=", "login"=>{"login"=>"admin", "password"=>"[FILTERED]"}, "commit"=>"Login"} 2016-04-03 03:04:22 [app] [I] Redirected to https://dell-pem610-01.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com/users/login 2016-04-03 03:04:22 [app] [I] Completed 302 Found in 13ms (ActiveRecord: 1.1ms) 2016-04-03 03:04:23 [app] [I] Started GET "/users/login" for 10.10.61.183 at 2016-04-03 03:04:23 -0400 2016-04-03 03:04:23 [app] [I] Processing by UsersController#login as HTML 2016-04-03 03:04:23 [app] [I] Rendered users/login.html.erb within layouts/login (3.5ms) 2016-04-03 03:04:23 [app] [I] Rendered layouts/base.html.erb (1.5ms) 2016-04-03 03:04:23 [app] [I] Completed 200 OK in 9ms (Views: 6.6ms | ActiveRecord: 0.0ms) Screenshot attached with admin/changme 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Started POST "/users/login" for 10.10.61.183 at 2016-04-03 03:07:08 -0400 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Processing by UsersController#login as HTML 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Parameters: {"utf8"=>"✓", "authenticity_token"=>"8KburUpXfjd5hsWQ6Q8TPU/9I8WlVTQGOOYh4xovOD8=", "login"=>{"login"=>"admin", "password"=>"[FILTERED]"}, "commit"=>"Login"} 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Expire fragment views/tabs_and_title_records-3 (0.6ms) 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Expire fragment views/tabs_and_title_records-3 (0.1ms) 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Redirected to https://dell-pem610-01.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com/hosts 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Completed 302 Found in 32ms (ActiveRecord: 10.6ms) 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Started GET "/hosts" for 10.10.61.183 at 2016-04-03 03:07:08 -0400 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Processing by HostsController#index as HTML 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Rendered hosts/_list.html.erb (24.7ms) 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Rendered hosts/index.html.erb within layouts/application (38.5ms) 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Rendered common/_searchbar.html.erb (8.3ms) 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Rendered layouts/_application_content.html.erb (8.9ms) 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Rendered home/_submenu.html.erb (1.9ms) 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Rendered home/_user_dropdown.html.erb (2.3ms) 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Read fragment views/tabs_and_title_records-3 (0.1ms) 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Rendered home/_organization_dropdown.html.erb (5.1ms) 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Rendered home/_location_dropdown.html.erb (4.9ms) 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Rendered home/_org_switcher.html.erb (10.9ms) 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Rendered home/_submenu.html.erb (5.3ms) 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Rendered home/_submenu.html.erb (5.9ms) 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Rendered home/_submenu.html.erb (2.0ms) 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Rendered home/_submenu.html.erb (8.4ms) 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Rendered home/_submenu.html.erb (4.3ms) 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Rendered home/_submenu.html.erb (3.0ms) 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Rendered home/_submenu.html.erb (1.9ms) 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Rendered home/_submenu.html.erb (5.0ms) 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Write fragment views/tabs_and_title_records-3 (1.3ms) 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Rendered home/_topbar.html.erb (59.3ms) 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Rendered layouts/base.html.erb (61.3ms) 2016-04-03 03:07:08 [app] [I] Completed 200 OK in 145ms (Views: 105.2ms | ActiveRecord: 12.9ms) Please note: As, per my understanding, it throws error but the rest of messages are irrelavant.They should be corrected.Since it causes confusion as whether foreman-installer worked or not
Created attachment 1142920 [details] Foreman-installer - optional options
Tazim, if I understand correctly, your report is about installer printing different password than has been set via some QE automation. It's not related to what this BZ was about - skipping checks. Moving again to ON_QA to test, if you're uncertain how to do it, please ping me on IRC, I'll explain. For the issue you reported here, please verify where and how the "changeme" password is set, if it's configured via installer option it should be printed correctly. If it's not, please open a separate BZ.
Ran the installer as : foreman-installer --scenario katello installer failed.. foreman-installer --scenerio katello -s Installer started..
