Description of problem: After installing the Satellite server with scenario 'katello' the TFTP is not installed as promised in the Documentation --- 3.4.2. Configuring DNS and DHCP on Satellite Server You can configure DNS and DHCP on Satellite Server. TFTP is automatically configured. --- [crash] root@li-lc-1578:~# rpm -qa | grep tftp [crash] root@li-lc-1578:~# ls -l /var/lib/tftpboot ls: cannot access /var/lib/tftpboot: No such file or directory Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Follow the instructions Top-Down to install a single server 'Satellite Server' only. That means all the steps of 'Capsule Server' shall be skipped, because those are referring to a second server. 2. 3. Actual results: User is left in the why the TFTP is not installed. He installed a 'Satellite Server' but the TFTP is not installed. Expected results: Guide the user better to install Services - Correct documentation what is really nstalled by the default settings -- For a 'Satellite Server' with scenario 'katello' -- For a 'Capsule Server' with scenario 'capsule' - When to do installation on both the 'Satellite Server' or 'Capsule Server' ?

Hello Peter Thank you for raising this bug. Asking lzap to confirm if something has changed as I was told that in 6.1 TFTP is enabled by default.
This is a regression over Sat6.1 that has a good introduction: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/6.1/html-single/Installation_Guide/index.html#sect-Red_Hat_Satellite-Installation_Guide-Configuring_DNS_DHCP_and_TFTP The sections of Sat6.1 '2.3.3.1. Additional DNS, DHCP and TFTP Options' is missing. It is also related to the overall issue with Installation Manaul that it is unclear what is 'Satellite Server' and 'Capsule Server'. Does 'Satellite Server' include an internal Capsule or not? E.g. Do i need to run both 'foreman-installer --scenario=katello' and 'foreman-installer --scenario=capsule' on a single server? Alternative i recommend is have a better set scenario with default settings: - satellite-server-without-capsule - satellite-server-with-capsule - capsule-server
I don't do the installer stuff, can't tell who changed it. Martin and Brad wrote it upstream, switching over. My opinion: for TFTP, DHCP and DNS we should stick with upstream, therefore install and configure all of them by default, set for starting only TFTP and DNS (not DHCP).
This bug has a dependency on BZ1124430. Currently TFTP is not enabled by default, so I have updated the task to enable it. I'm still working on addressing the second, overall issue.
I've added the changes to TFTP and am addressing the second issue in bz1332972. I copied the comment into that bug since that's where the issue will be addressed.
