Description Sachin Ghai 2016-09-28 10:32:45 UTC
Description of problem:
I see this issue bunch of times when we create a hostgroup and due to some reason media is not associated correctly. So later, when we provision a host with same hostgroup, provisioning failed with error:

Unable to save
Deploy TFTP PXEGrub2 config for mac52540058eae1.idmqe.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com task failed with the following error: undefined method `path' for nil:NilClass


We really need to improve the error here like: Error: Please associate the media correctly

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.
