Hello,

we are adding new type of disk: "subnet" image for 6.1. Please put the additional paragraph in the docs. You will get the final version in the diff of the README file in this pull request:

Thanks.

Lukas,

Is there a bug I can follow/link for this so that I know when the feature is merged?
Comment 5 Lukas Zapletal 2015-07-24 09:43:31 UTC 
Hayley, sorry for huge delay, we are likely hitting the very last compose with this one. Hopefully next week: https://github.com/theforeman/foreman_bootdisk/pull/9
Comment 6 Andrew Dahms 2016-11-15 11:36:06 UTC 
While the new Provisioning Guide does mention subnet images briefly, there are still some details that can be added to the documentation via this bug.

Moving back to NEW and the default assignee to be triaged as the schedule allows.
Comment 7 Andrew Dahms 2017-09-20 05:33:54 UTC 
Assigning to Julie for review.

Julie - let's use this bug to add some detail to 'Creating New Hosts with PXE-less Provisioning' in the Provisioning Guide.

Namely, the following changes look like they will be required -

* Add the table comparing features to the start of the section with a line 
  calling out what the table is for.

* Move the descriptions of image types to the start of the section underneath 
  the above table, and provide a few more details about each. In particular,
  the description of the subnet image should mention the following details, 
  although not verbatim -

  "Subnet images are similar to generic images, but chain-loading is done via 
   the TFTP Smart Proxy assigned to the Subnet of the host. The smart proxy 
   must have the "Templates" module enabled and configured.

   This image is generic for all hosts with a provisioning NIC on that subnet."

* The location where the descriptions used to be should just tell users that
  they can click the image type to download that image.

* The CLI user commands should be broken into discrete sub-sections, with one
  section for each image type.

* A new sub-section on writing the ISO to a USB stick should be added to
  let users know how to perform this operation if needed.

Are you referring to the table in 6.1 docs? It has been removed from 6.2 already.

Hi Julie,

Thank you for your needinfo request.

We talked about this in person as well, but this does indeed refer to the table that is included in both Satellite 6.1, but most importantly, in the docs on GitHub.

Let me know if there is anything else you need!

Kind regards,

Andrew
