Description Lukas Zapletal 2014-09-16 09:30:32 UTC 
Since "PXELinux global default" template is locked and the name is hardcoded in Foreman codebase, there is no way to use Foreman Discovery since we can't configure initial boot.

Workaround: Unlock the locked template and edit it.

# foreman-rake console
> ct = ConfigTemplate.find_by_name("PXELinux global default"); ct.locked = false; ct.save!
> exit
Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2014-09-16 09:33:21 UTC 
Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been
set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.
Comment 3 Lukas Zapletal 2014-09-16 09:49:38 UTC 
It looks like there are two options to do:

A) Implement a global settings for all hardcoded template names. This is easy to do.

B) Implement these settings per-subnet which adds more granularity but it is more complicated.

We can implement both A+B (A as a fallback when B is not specified per-subnet).

Katello should not be locking core Foreman templates: https://github.com/Katello/katello/blob/katello-2.0.0-0/db/seeds.rb#L39-L44

I disagree.  Foreman should be locking core templates, so that you can update them at will, but you're stuck due to precedence.

In a multi-org and multi-loc setup, having the core templates editable is just totally broken.

Comment 13 Stephen Benjamin 2015-02-16 08:42:38 UTC 
To test this, just confirm you edit "PXELinux global default" config template in the UI.  

It should be unlocked in 6.1.
Comment 15 Bryan Kearney 2015-08-11 13:20:27 UTC 
This bug is slated to be released with Satellite 6.1.
