Please make a change where we are updating "PXELinux global default" template for discovery.
Step24. 1. user needs to first unlock the "PXELinux Global default" template to change the 'local' to 'discovery' under 'ONTIMEOUT' option.
2. Now new "pxelinux_discovery" scriptlet has been added in discovery7.0, that includes the discovery stanza. This needs to be updated with two things
1. update image locations.
Currently it uses "KERNEL /boot/fdi-image/vmlinuz0". However it should be like: "KERNEL /boot/fdi-image-rhel_7-vmlinuz"
Similarly for "APPEND initrd=boot/fdi-image-rhel_7-img"
2. proxy.url=<%= foreman_server_url %> This needs to be updated with port no 9090 if proxy.type=proxy
like: proxy.url=<%= foreman_server_url %>:9090
I'm not sure if we have any variable for capsule like "capsule_server_url" in case user wants to perform discovery via external capsule.
Assigning to Clifton for review.
Clifton - the above changes must be applied to Step 23. of the procedure on upgrading Satellite Server, and to the same block in the 'Upgrading Discovery on Capsule Servers' section.
These changes apply to the new 'Upgrade Guide' for Satellite 6.3.
Let's also check with Sachin when the changes go in to make sure they match those expected.
Hi Clifton,
Thank you for your needinfo request.
It looks like the majority of changes have been made, but I have one or two questions that can be cleared up by taking a look at the UI and seeking review from Sachin -
1. I don't see any mention of the 'ONTIMEOUT' option in the procedure, but
perhaps this is already covered in the first step. It would be nice to
check the UI and see if the current step makes sense, or if anything
else needs to be called out.
2. The 'KERNEL boot/fdi-image-rhel_7-vmlinuz' line in the documentation does
not include a leading '/' before 'boot'. We should check with Sachin if
this is ok.
After we clear these up, we can address any changes and process the bug as usual, or if no changes are required, just close this bug out.
Kind regards,
Andrew
