RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-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 Raoul Scarazzini 2016-04-06 09:53:26 UTC 
Description of problem:

While using this specific hardware:

PowerEdge R430
BIOS Version: 1.5.4
Lifecycle Controller Firmware: 2.21.21.21

There's no way to make the iPXE loading while introspecting. The host retrieves address from dhcpd on the undercloud, then tries to load undionly.kpxe, then fails, and remains in the loading status endlessly.

By looking inside packets that comes to the undercloud everything is fine, the file is correctly passed to the host, but then for some reason it fails to load.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

ipxe-roms-qemu-20150821-1.git4e03af8e.el7.noarch
instack-undercloud-2.1.2-39.el7ost.noarch
openstack-ironic-conductor-2015.1.2-2.el7ost.noarch

How reproducible:

Just try to introspect an hardware like the one described with the packages above.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the undercloud
2. Import instackenv.json
3. Introspect

Actual results:

Introspection times out and host are not correctly registered inside Ironic, so are not usable for overcloud deployments.

Expected results:

Success.

Additional info:

The only way for fixing the issue is to generate a new undionly.kpxe, as explained in the official page [1]:

# git clone git://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git
# cd ipxe/src
# make
