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 Stephen Benjamin 2014-08-21 08:44:06 UTC
I'd love to be able to set the MAC address of VM guests (we control the DHCP server manually (if I get lots of spare time maybe I'll write a new dhcp smart proxy module)).

However the GUI hides the mac address in the "New -> Host -> Network" page, sadly it's not as simple as just commenting out "unless @hypervisor" from ./app/views/hosts/_unattended.html.erb.

./lib/foreman/controller/host_details.rb seems to be responsible somehow for displaying/hiding this item but my Rails development knowledge is non-existant.

Currently we have to create the VM (which fails to boot), then edit the libvirt config, stop the build, edit mac address, start the build.

It'd be great if you could _optionally_ specify the MAC address to use (and to generate one if it's blank as it currently does).

Foreman: v0.4.1

Comment 2 Stephen Benjamin 2014-08-21 08:45:24 UTC
If a user is managing DHCP externally to Foreman, on an IPAM system that sets `next-server` based on matching a MAC range, it would be useful to be able to specify it in the UI. Perhaps under some kind of 'Advanced' section.

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in the 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.
