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 Eric Helms 2014-08-01 20:29:01 UTC

Foreman's default PXE menu can support provisioning by host group, however, Katello's content_source setup needs some changes.

- content_source needs to be added to hostgroup jail,
- distribution_repositories needs to refer to .architecture instead of .arch for hostgroups
- maybe more changes are needed

Please provide the verification steps for this bug.

Comment 9 Kedar Bidarkar 2014-08-28 11:34:00 UTC

I believe we need to test, whether host created using a host-group gets provisioned. Also make sure host-group has the content-source defined.

Please confirm the above, else provide verification steps.

Comment 10 Stephen Benjamin 2014-08-28 11:50:55 UTC

Yup, correct.  I added some steps to the redmine ticket:

Comment 12 Kedar Bidarkar 2014-09-01 11:39:55 UTC

Tested with Sat6-GA-snap6-compose3


The host_group entry is visible via the menu with the default file.


But fails to get provisioned as it's unable to fetch the kickstart file.

1) As seen from above the ks link looks to be created with https. can we please confirm if that's OK?

2) Tried with http, but no luck 

3) Tried with http and with port 80, but no luck

Comment 13 Kedar Bidarkar 2014-09-01 11:41:21 UTC

Also tried provisioning a vm the normal way and could provision it, so DNS issues are ruled out.

Comment 14 Stephen Benjamin 2014-09-01 12:32:36 UTC

There's a couple of issues.

BZ1126937 - missed a template change (this is the certname error you see now)

BZ1136002 - it's returning an HTTPS url, which Anaconda will not like

Comment 16 Stephen Benjamin 2014-11-04 15:07:54 UTC

Dependent issues all fixed upstream, this one can be QA'd when they go to MODIFIED too.

Comment 19 Kedar Bidarkar 2015-03-16 12:16:40 UTC

As per comment 14, Both the bugs were moved to assigned state which is BLOCKER for this bug's verification.

Comment 20 Kedar Bidarkar 2015-03-16 12:17:05 UTC

Tried with Sat6.1 Beta snap6 compose2
