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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2015:2622 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Moderate: Satellite 6.1.5 bug fix update 2015-12-15 14:17:45 UTC

Description Mike McCune 2015-08-28 20:17:21 UTC 
As a user of Satellite 6, I would like a boot disk option that provides the following:

* A single ISO that allows me to provision a system against any configured hostgroup on the Satellite. 
* The ISO would not require me to pre-create a host in Satellite.
* The ISO would allow me to provide a user provided IP address or use DHCP to find the Satellite server. 
* The ISO will be generated on the Satellite
* The ISO will provide a means to provision via a Capsule
* The functionality to generate the ISO will be exposed via the API, UI & CLI.
* Functionality to provide a local IP and VLAN to the target host
Comment 1 Adrian Likins 2015-09-02 15:09:34 UTC 
This sounds like a super useful feature to have baked into the default RHEL installer ISO's[1]. An anaconda add-on could support this for RHEL7, RHEL6 would be more custom.

But some support for a mechanism of discovery of Satellite servers (or RHCI, or Sat5, or 3rd party tools) would be useful. 

For RHEL7, an anaconda add on could discover[1] a Satellite on the network, and offer to register to it (easiest would be via the kickstart config it creates for use by initial-setup, but at somepoint supporting registration directly from anaconda could be possible).

[1] If not baked into a default install of RHEL itself. With reasonable security precautions, attempting to discover a Sat server on boot would be reasonable

[2] Discovery mechanism unknown, but there are plenty of options. It would be possible to even support verifying a discovered Sat is verified by RH (with a RH signed server cert pinned to a discovery specific ca, or something signed with a RH provided gpg key baked into anaconda.)
Comment 2 Lukas Zapletal 2015-10-26 07:57:41 UTC 
Adrian, thanks for comments. We are done with the feature, it will be z-stream Feature Errata. More info here:

I think it will work in your use case just fine.
Comment 3 Lukas Zapletal 2015-10-26 09:10:28 UTC 
Bryan, can you correct flags? I am preparing to merge the stuff downstream now. Looks like the flags are incorrect.
Comment 10 Sachin Ghai 2015-11-12 10:23:12 UTC 
As per the original description, I'm not familiar with any functionality on:

* The functionality to generate the ISO will be exposed via the API, UI & CLI.

Can someone please elaborate what does that mean ? and if it exists in satellite 6.1.4 composes ?
Comment 11 Lukas Zapletal 2015-11-13 14:38:27 UTC 
That's not valid requirement, discovery images are not generated by Satellite6, but shipped with it. We have the remaster script for that.
Comment 12 Sachin Ghai 2015-11-27 15:19:55 UTC 
Following requirement in RFE description doesn't fall in current implementation:

- The functionality to generate the ISO will be exposed via the API, UI & CLI
- The ISO will be generated on the Satellite

Other than above, all are implemented in pxe-less feature. If anyone expecting above two requirements then please file new RFE.

Moving this bz to verified as all requirements (except above two) are implemented in Sat 6.1.5 compose2(Satellite-6.1.0-RHEL-7-20151125.0)
