Description of problem: When there is more than 1 HA deployment, there is a possibility of conflict (duplication) in MAC address of the VIPs, causing a failure in controller host assignment with the message that the MAC is already existing in an another host. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhel-osp-installer A1 release How reproducible: Deploy with an existing HA deployment Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Host assignment fails with the message that a MAC is already assigned to a different host. Expected results: Host assignment should succeed to the controller host group. Additional info: Currently cannot proceed unless the old deployment has been deleted. However the other deployment may need to be preserved for future scaling etc.
The issue is that for the (fake) interfaces we have to create internally to foreman to facilitate IP address reservation, we were just setting the mac addr to 00:00:00:00:00:xx" where the 'xx' corresponds to the VIP number (sequentially from 01). I've modified this to include deployment ID in the scheme. https://github.com/theforeman/staypuft/pull/349
Issue is not seen on rhel-osp-installer-0.4.5-2.el6ost.noarch
