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 Kedar Bidarkar 2015-02-19 11:09:40 UTC 
Description of problem:

unable to provision hosts unless boot mode is set to DHCP under subnet.

Provisioning of a "New Host" fails, while trying to fetch the file, 
http://xxxx.redhat.com/pulp/repos/Default_Organization/Dev/rhel66_cv/custom/RHEL6/RHEL66_x86_64/images/install.img

Possible reasons: network might not be configured properly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sat6.1 Beta snap3 compose2

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a subnet with "boot mode" set as "static".
2. And then try to provision a HOST.
3. 

Actual results:
Fetching the above mentioned file fails as, network might not be configured properly.

Expected results:
Should be able to provision Hosts successfully.

*) I assume, as many subnet setups would be with "DHCP", we need to have this option as default rather than "static" option.


Additional info:

As this is a new sat6.1 feature , we need this info added to release docs too and a TIP near the fields.
Comment 2 Marek Hulan 2015-02-24 10:06:41 UTC 
tested, it works if dns nameserver and gateway is specified
Comment 3 Kedar Bidarkar 2015-02-24 10:31:59 UTC 
spoke to marek hulan,


What is the purpose of IPAM field?

<mhulan> kbidarka: IPAM field only change behaviour of host form, whether the IP field is auto prefilled for you...


IPAM and boot-mode combinations:

If boot-mode: static then IPAM: Internal DB
If boot-mode: DHCP, then IPAM: DHCP

<mhulan> kbidarka: for boot mode static, usually internal DB makes most sense.
and none would be used if you want to assign IP manually.


For the fix at the WebUI level, 

a) I think if IPAM is set to DHCP, boot-mode should also be also set to "DHCP" automatically

b) or set the default value for boot-mode to DHCP.
Comment 4 Kedar Bidarkar 2015-02-24 10:35:19 UTC 
Also while selecting boot-mode as static, make sure subnet also be configured with
a) nameserver 
b) gateway.
Comment 5 Marek Hulan 2015-02-24 11:31:22 UTC 
I think b) DHCP as default boot-mode is right solution, so I'll implement this. As said on IRC, nameserver and gateway can't be required for subnet just because it has static boot mode. It's only relevant if you want to use the subnet for provisioning, you are using DNS etc. The only thing I can imagine to change is a note to boot mode field stating "If you select static boot mode and plan to use this subnet for provisioning you might need to specify a gateway and nameserver". But I'd prefer this in documentation rather than in form as it's already too long.
