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.

System ID Private Priority Status Summary Last Updated
Foreman Issue Tracker 992 0 Normal Closed Unspported scheme - when using nfs path for installation media. 2020-11-09 20:15:56 UTC

Description Jacob Hunt 2015-06-05 15:01:26 UTC 
Description of problem:

The installation media path says you can specify an NFS server and when you enter the path, it requires it be formatted as 'nfs://server/path'. The resulting kickstart has a url defined in the format:

url --url nfs://server/path

The above syntax is not valid for RHEL 6 (and possibly RHEL 7) so the kickstart fails. 

The proper syntax for a nfs installation source is:

nfs --server=<server> --dir=<path> --opts=<options>

Satellite should properly format the nfs path if it is allowing one to be specified or it should request the proper data to construct the nfs kickstart options.

Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/992 has been resolved.
Comment 22 Radovan Drazny 2017-09-21 14:50:34 UTC 
Tested on Satellite 6.3, foreman-1.15.3.2-1.el7sat.

1. Created a custom installation media with "nfs://<server>/<path>/<to>/<directory>" path. 
2. Created a custom Operating system with the RedHat family type and with the Installation media from the step 1 assigned
3. Created a host, and assigned the Operating system from the step 2 to it.
3. Checked the resulting Provisioning template for the newly created system. nfs line was correctly formatted as "nfs --server <server> --dir /<path>/<to>/<directory>""
