Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit).

Description Ron van der Wees 2018-07-02 09:00:22 UTC 
Description of problem:
In bz#1019214 a feature to auto-attach a boot disk for a VMware Compute
Resource was implemented. In bz#1544498 the hammer cli was fixed to be able to
select 'bootdisk' with '--provision-method'.
Since the hammer cli fix in the last mentioned bz, kickstart can't be rendered
any more since the partition table remains empty.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tfm-rubygem-foreman_bootdisk-10.0.2.2-1.fm1_15.el7sat.noarch
satellite-6.3.2-1.el7sat.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a host group which has a partition table defined
2. Deploy a new how host using:

# hammer host create --name "hostame" \
  --organization "MyOrg" \
  --location "Location" \
  --hostgroup "hostgroup" \
  --compute-resource "compute_resource" \
  --provision-method bootdisk \
  --build true \
  --enabled true \
  --managed true \
  --interface "managed=true,primary=true,provision=true,compute_type=VirtualVmxnet3,compute_network=Somenetwork,ip=192.168.72.70" \
  --compute-attributes="cpus=2,corespersocket=2,memory_mb=2048,cluster='Cluster',path='Datacenters/xyz/vm',start=1,guest_id=rhel7_64Guest,scsi_controller_type=ParaVirtualSCSIController,add_cdrom=1,firmware=bios,hardware_version=Default" \
  --volume="size_gb=100G,datastore=Datastore,name=myharddisk,thin=true"


Actual results:
Partition table field remains empty for the host


Expected results:
Correctly rendered kickstart file including the partition table.


Additional info:
The host group uses the 'Kickstart default' partition table. When specifying a
partition table on the command line (-- partition-table "Kickstart default")
it is set correctly!

Comment 3 Lukas Zapletal 2018-07-02 10:04:54 UTC 
Hello, your partition table does not appear to be in taxonomy as your host/template. Check Organization/Location assignment and then it will work. Please confirm so we can close the BZ.

Comment 15 Lukas Zapletal 2019-01-14 10:05:14 UTC 
I again failed to reproduce, works fine for me. Couple of items for you:

1) Can you check the Partition Template - Operating System Family and also Location and Organization. Is this all set correctly? 

2) Can you help isolating bootdisk and vmware, just create new host with the same details but skip boodiskmethod and compute resource, give it a dummy MAC address and then try to render kickstart again.

3) Do you see the error during template preview or actually when system is fetching the kickstart for real?

Thanks

For the record, there was a bug I hit during reproducing it, colleague reported it as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1679225
Comment 24 Lukas Zapletal 2019-02-27 09:08:03 UTC 
Observation, slight change in JSON coming out from hammer. With bootdisk method:

2019-02-27T13:48:34 [I|app|926e0]   Parameters: {"location_id"=>2, "organization_id"=>1, "host"=>{"name"=>"lzap-test-1", "location_id"=>2, "organization_id"=>1, "ip"=>"192.168.20.71", "puppetclass_ids"=>[], "medium_id"=>10, "compute_resource_id"=>1, "hostgroup_id"=>3, "build"=>true, "enabled"=>true, "provision_method"=>"bootdisk", "managed"=>true, "compute_attributes"=>{"volumes_attributes"=>{}}, "content_facet_attributes"=>{}, "subscription_facet_attributes"=>{}, "overwrite"=>true, "interfaces_attributes"=>[]}, "apiv"=>"v2"}

Without:

2019-02-27T14:28:32 [I|app|ea103] Processing by Api::V2::HostsController#create as JSON
2019-02-27T14:28:32 [I|app|ea103]   Parameters: {"location_id"=>2, "organization_id"=>1, "host"=>{"name"=>"lzap-test-2", "location_id"=>2, "organization_id"=>1, "ip"=>"192.168.20.71", "puppetclass_ids"=>[], "medium_id"=>10, "compute_resource_id"=>1, "hostgroup_id"=>3, "build"=>true, "enabled"=>true, "managed"=>true, "compute_attributes"=>{"volumes_attributes"=>{}}, "content_facet_attributes"=>{}, "subscription_facet_attributes"=>{}, "overwrite"=>true, "interfaces_attributes"=>[]}, "apiv"=>"v2"}

The difference is: "volumes_attributes"=>{}
