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 of problem:
When booting a host to a host image boot disk, the ISO is looking for the MAC address of the SolarFlare SFC9120 NIC, however the boot image does not have the sfc kernel driver. It does not find the NIC and proceeds to fail to chain load and continue the Provisioning process
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tfm-rubygem-foreman_bootdisk-6.1.0.3-1.el7sat.noarch
ipxe-bootimgs-20160127-1.git6366fa7a.el7.noarch
How reproducible:
Every time with the SolarFlare SFC9120 NIC connected to HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 hardware.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Begin with a Satellite 6.2.1 environment
2. Create new Host and fill in appropriate values (ie. RHEL 6.7 CV, NIC MAC address, host name, capsule, boot media, etc.)
3. Click Submit
4. Click on Boot Disk -> host '<hostname>' image
5. Change the boot mode of machine to Legacy BIOS in iLO of the host
6. Mount the downloaded ISO as a virtual disk and change the one time boot order to CD/DVD in ILO
7. Boot machine
8. Machine should boot to the disk and then attempt to find a network device with the given MAC address
9. Upon not finding the NIC it will pause for a few seconds and then continue through the BIOS boot order until it fails to boot or boots to another medium
Actual results:
Host does not get provisioned or even chain load to the Satellite defined boot media
Expected results:
Host to boot, chain load to the Satellite boot media, and continue along the Provisioning process - resulting in a provisioned physical host
Additional info:
(In reply to Lukas Zapletal from comment #3)
> WORKAROUND: Use Full host image which is SYSLINUX-based.
In the environment there is no DHCP and no PXE which are requirements according to documentation.
