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.

Comment 6 Peter Ondrejka 2017-02-10 13:48:30 UTC 
On Satellite 6.2.8-1.0:

~]# grep -i ipappend /usr/share/foreman/app/views/unattended/pxe/PXELinux_default.erb
     IPAPPEND 2

~]# grep -i ipappend /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
IPAPPEND 2
Comment 7 Peter Vreman 2017-02-14 09:47:09 UTC 
Sorry, this is not Closed the grep check is wrong. It matched the 'discovery' menu item and not the other menu items:

See below the default .erb from 6.2.7 that has 2 LABELs, only the first LABEL entry has the IPAPPEND, the second with the profiles for-loop is still missing it:

Sorry about premature closing, yes the problem as described in comment #7 persists in 6.8
Comment 10 Bryan Kearney 2017-08-01 20:34:41 UTC 
Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in product in the foreseeable future. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.
