Created attachment 1233798 [details]
Full log of provisioning  with multiple nics

Description of problem:
When provisioning with more than one nic, after the provisioning is complete, the host attempts to re-install when tftp boots post provision.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add host with 2 interfaces ( DHCP or static on interface configuration doesn't make a difference.
2. Satellite 6 is NOT the DHCP server
3. After install, the tftpboot file in /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/ will not be updated for a post-provision config

Actual results:
Host attempts to rebuild ( and obviously fails )

Expected results:
tftpboot file should be updated to have the system boot from disk

Additional info:
From production.log after the system is built,

Comment 1 Stephen Benjamin 2016-12-20 13:13:46 UTC 
What does /var/lib/tftpboot look like after the kickstart is finished?

Can you share the /var/log/foreman-proxy/proxy.log?
Comment 16 Marek Hulan 2016-12-22 07:50:48 UTC 
This bug was fixed in upstream, I'm linking the upstream issue. The NIC validation is not treating empty identifier correctly. While the validation method on host skips such interfaces, validation on NIC side tries to enforce uniqueness even of empty identifiers.

This causes problems during provisioning of host with multiple interfaces, preventing the TFTP change because of interface being invalid. As a simple workaround until the fix is delivered, specifying unique identifier for each interface would help, e.g. eth0 for the first, eth1 for the second.

Comment 21 Roman Plevka 2017-02-20 13:29:03 UTC 
Is the following step really a prerequisite for this bug? I don't see a correlation between the root cause and this step:

> 2. Satellite 6 is NOT the DHCP server

From the other comments i understand, it should be enough to create a new host with >1 NIC with no interface identifiers and wait for it to get provisioned and check whether the pxelinux.cfg file for the host is being updated to break the provisioning loop. Is this verification procedure correct?

thanks.
Comment 22 Marek Hulan 2017-03-01 07:10:47 UTC 
No it's not required. The problem was for any host with more than one NIC. The easiest way to reproduce is to create a host with two interfaces with empty identifiers. Then try editing the host, e.g. changing the comment attribute. It fails on interface identifier being already taken. The same failure prevents host saving during provisioning hence tftp is not changed. See comment 16 for more details.
Comment 23 Roman Plevka 2017-03-02 10:02:23 UTC 
VERIFIED
on sat6.2.8-4

- provisioned a host via libvirt that had 2 interfaces defined without any if id.
- the orchestration worked smoothly and foreman updated the pxelinux.cfg file as expected.
