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:
-----------------------
While installation of RHV-H NG node, I could see 'Date & Time' in the installer screen, when going in to configure 'Date & Time', I could see on top right, there is toggle to enable 'Network Time'. When turning it on, it again toggles to 'off'
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
-------------------------------------------------------------
RHV-H NG node - RHVH-4.1-20170127.0-RHVH-x86_64-dvd1.iso
How reproducible:
-----------------
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
-------------------
1. Boot from RHV-H NG ISO ( ISO had RHEL 7 as base )
2. On the installer window, select 'Date & Time'
3. On the top right, there is 'Network Time', try to make it to 'ON'
Actual results:
---------------
'Network Time' never gets to 'ON', toggles back to 'OFF'
Expected results:
-----------------
When turning on 'Network Time', should enable NTP right at the installation time
Additional info:
This works if Networking is configured first.
Anaconda should either disable the toggle or provide meaningful feedback if networking is not configured.
We cannot disable the toggle or prevent it to slide to ON before we set it back to OFF, so we will just provide a warning message. We will show a message in the installation source spoke as well.
