Description of problem: The "Managed" flag in the host configuration enables two independent functions: - the new interface is configured automatically during provisioning by the DNS and DHCP Capsule Servers - If you use a kickstart method for host provisioning, configuration files are automatically created for managed interfaces in the post-installation phase at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-$interface_id (Source https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.2/html/host_configuration_guide/sect-red_hat_satellite-host_configuration_guide-configuring_hosts-configuring_an_additional_network_interface ) It's not possible to enable the configuration of an Interface but disable the generation of DHCP and DNS entries. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): satellite-6.2.8-4.0.el7sat How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a host in Satellite 2. Edit its interface configuration Actual results: There is a single "Managed" checkbox Expected results: There is a "Manage DHCP/DNS entries" and "Manage Host Configuration" checkboxes Additional info:
This BZ is related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1433034 By itself is may look useless, but the combination of both features improves the control of the provisioning and final configuration of host interfaces.
I think this is a valid RFE. Just one clarification, it's not just DNS/DHCP but also TFTP.
Created redmine issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/20841 from this bug
Also one more update, there's a way to keep the interface Managed to only configure the interfaces in kickstart %post. User only needs to disassociate DHCP,DNS(,TFTP) proxies from the host's subnet and domain. Managed is a switch to completely avoid any external configuration. Anyway this is really confusing and we can split it into two flags. The documentation has already been improved.
Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please do not reopen. Instead, feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.
