Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Justin Sherrill 2014-07-17 15:27:29 UTC 
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.

Comment 10 Sachin Ghai 2016-05-02 09:11:01 UTC 
@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
Comment 11 Marek Hulan 2016-05-02 10:29:19 UTC 
That's my understanding as well, in other words that DHCP boot mode is supported.
Comment 12 Sachin Ghai 2016-05-02 11:51:43 UTC 
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.
