Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1120762
bootdisk seems to only support static networking
Last modified: 2016-07-27 04:42:21 EDT
Description of problem: This is probably more wide spread than just bootdisk, but the following template: https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/blob/develop/app/views/unattended/kickstart/iPXE.erb seems to only support static networking. <% static = @host.token.nil? ? '?static=yes' : '&static=yes' -%> seems to indicate that static networking would be used in all cases. In my case I did not have a subnet defined so the request to the kickstart attempted to use static networking and failed with 'undefined method mask for nil'. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a host and do not specify a subnet (because its not needed) 2. Attempt to provision a system with bootdisk Actual results: Will fail. Expected results: Removing the static information seems to make it work just fine. Additional info:

@Marek: Hey.. as per bz description, it seems that we need to test : 1) host provisioning via generic bootdisk ? 2) bootmode should be dhcp instead of static ( as we know dhcp proxy is needed for generic bootdisk) ? Please confirm if my assumptions are correct or if anything else needs to be tested? thanks
That's my understanding as well, in other words that DHCP boot mode is supported.
Thanks Marek. Verified with Sat6.2 beta. I can provision a host via generic bootdisk and without defining static subnet. I associated dhcp-proxy to subnet and removed the association of tftp-proxy. 2016-04-26 02:37:40 [app] [I] Started GET "/unattended/iPXE?&mac=00%3A50%3A56%3A96%3A53%3A00" for 192.168.100.13 at 2016-04-26 02:37:40 -0400 2016-04-26 02:37:40 [app] [I] Processing by UnattendedController#host_template as HTML 2016-04-26 02:37:40 [app] [I] Parameters: {"mac"=>"00:50:56:96:53:00", "kind"=>"iPXE"} 2016-04-26 02:37:40 [app] [I] Found sghaigenboot.cfme.lab.eng.rdu2.redhat.com 2016-04-26 02:37:40 [app] [I] Rendered inline template (41.1ms) 2016-04-26 02:37:40 [app] [I] Completed 200 OK in 225ms (Views: 38.7ms | ActiveRecord: 24.9ms) 2016-04-26 02:37:57 [app] [I] Started GET "/unattended/provision?token=6041d2c1-0a3d-401e-bb23-6f750ff4e50d" for 192.168.100.13 at 2016-04-26 02:37:57 -0400 2016-04-26 02:37:57 [app] [I] Processing by UnattendedController#host_template as */* 2016-04-26 02:37:57 [app] [I] Parameters: {"token"=>"6041d2c1-0a3d-401e-bb23-6f750ff4e50d", "kind"=>"provision"} 2016-04-26 02:37:57 [app] [I] Found sghaigenboot.cfme.lab.eng.rdu2.redhat.com 2016-04-26 02:38:01 [app] [I] Rendered inline template (466.2ms) 2016-04-26 02:38:01 [app] [I] Completed 200 OK in 3746ms (Views: 440.3ms | ActiveRe
