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 Fabian Deutsch 2015-01-28 21:03:37 UTC 
Description of problem:
Anaconda has teh ability to install a host from a liveimg: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart#liveimg 

Satelltie 6 should support this too, to enable the deployment of image based products.
Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2015-01-28 21:03:44 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 Fabian Deutsch 2015-01-28 21:06:12 UTC 
This feature could be used to deploy next generation of RHEV-H.
Comment 8 Bryan Kearney 2016-07-08 20:31:08 UTC 
Per 6.3 planning, moving out non acked bugs to the backlog
Comment 13 Fabian Deutsch 2016-07-28 12:44:01 UTC

> Can someone set the RHEV layered product?

I don't believe that layer product exists in this bugzilla product.

The introduction to the hypervisor provisioning is available in lzap's short walk-through https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6IvTkjhSx8&feature=youtu.be

To use the Satellite-managed content, one can follow this steps (with possible customizations if needed):

ORG="Default Organization"
PRODUCT="RHVH"
REPO="image"
IMG_PATH="squashfs.img"
AK="rhvh"
CONTENT_VIEW="Default Organization View"
OS="RedHat 7.4"
CONTENT_SOURCE_ID=1 # id of smart proxy/capsule to be used as content source
HOSTGROUP="RHVH"
SUBSCRIPTION="4028f9505ffd45930160083350a31bfb" # subscription id to be use for subscribing the hypervisor

# Download the hypervisor ISO from https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/150/ver=4.1/rhel---7/4.1/x86_64/product-software (something like RHVH-4.1-20180315.0-RHVH-x86_64-dvd1.iso)

# mount the iso:
mkdir -p /media/rhvh
mount -o loop RHVH-4.*-RHVH-x86_64-dvd1.iso /media/rhvh

# extract the squashfs image
rpm2cpio /media/rhvh/Packages/redhat-virtualization-host-image-update* | cpio -idmv
mv usr/share/redhat-virtualization-host/image/redhat-virtualization-host-*.el7_4.squashfs.img "$IMG_PATH"

# Prepare repository and upload the image

hammer hostgroup set-parameter --hostgroup "$HOSTGROUP" --name "liveimg_name" --value="custom/$PRODUCT/$REPO/squashfs.img"

# assign the templates to host group
hammer template add-operatingsystem --name 'Kickstart oVirt-RHVH' --operatingsystem "$OS"
hammer template add-operatingsystem --name 'Kickstart oVirt-RHVH PXELinux' --operatingsystem "$OS"

# to assign the templates to the host group, one needs to go to WEBUI editing page of 'Kickstart oVirt-RHVH' and 'Kickstart oVirt-RHVH PXELinux', and in 'Associations' tab, add combination with $HOSTGROUP combination

# After thins, the hostgroup should be ready to be used for provisioning the RHV hypervisor using the squashfs image

Comment 41 Sanket Jagtap 2018-05-08 10:56:54 UTC 
Build: Satellite 6.3.1.1 Snap2

I see the templates are rendered correctly, but still I am not able to provision using any other CV and Lifecycle Environment 

I noticed that, while fetching the file from Installation media

http://sat-host/pulp/isos/Default_Organization/Library/custom/RHVH/image/squashfs.img

While provisioning the Installation media is appended by
 
http://sat-host/pulp/isos/Default_Organization/Library/custom/RHVH/image/LiveOS/squashfs.img
PFA

Am I missing something? 

I am using the published URL that Satellite generated when the repository was created as the URL for installation media

This Only happens in case of have the host provisioned in a CV under some Lifecycle

The provision happens successfully for "Default Org View and Library"
