Description emahoney 2017-01-19 17:37:34 UTC

Adding a section in the engine-setup section that explains the parameters/values in the answers file would help users who attempt to automate their deployments. 

Similar to https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/heapplianceflow/

It would be helpful if instead of a list, it was a chart with the boolean values and their meaning for each parameter.

    i.e 
       ----------------------------------------------------------------------
      |  OVEHOSTED_NETWORK/bridgeName=str:ovirtmgmt | Sets the bridge name of
      |                                             |  the interface that           
      |                                             |  will become the management
      |                                             |  network.

Do we have a way to automate the answers and details?

For sure we need to enter the descriptions somehow since now they are missing; then we probably have to patch otopi to generate the list.

Comment 3 Yaniv Lavi 2017-02-14 07:41:32 UTC

Can you please open a RFE to automate the answer file docs and block this item on that?

I'd rather close current bug wontfix. Our current handling of the answer files is not always trivial to document.

See also:

bug 1396925 - for a better approach (imho). If we go this route, we won't need extra documentation.

https://www.ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/engine/engine-setup/ - for the way answer files are currently intended to be generated/used.

Thank you both Yedidyah and Yaniv, I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

I see that bug 1396925 has been closed, is there an open bug to track this?
