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). 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:
It is very tedious to provision a host on Vmware as, most of the settings are not directly fetched from Vmware and you need to go hunting on Vmware API to find entities proper IDs
Also the help text should have more information
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.4 Snap 14
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
VMWare:
--compute-attributes:
cluster Cluster id from VMware
Should this be some kind of numeric ID or Cluster name
path Path to folder
Should Mention, does it needs whole path from / or from vm Folder
guest_id Guest OS id form VMware
Guest ID is not fetched, also should support guest OS name , like in UI
scsi_controller_type Id of the controller from VMware
Should be fetched depending in the name that is passed , like in UI
hardware_version Hardware version id from VMware
Add a link to Vmware documetation regarding, where to find this
compute_network Network id from VMware
This option is problematic of all, network-id should be automatically fetched from Vmware, rather than user needing to login to Vmware or looking in satellite logs from UI
--volume:
name
You don't have the option to specify the name in UI, If it is static we can remove
datastore Datastore id from VMware
Datastore name should also be supported and datastore Id should be fetched
Also, some attributes are missing form CLI
COMPUTE:
Resource pool - [List]
Firmware=[BIOS EFI]
Memory hot add=Boolean
Cpu hot add=Boolean
Cd-rom= Boolean
Annotation Notes
VOLUME:
Storage Pod = [List]
Disk Mode = [List]
Actual results:
Option are not clear and some entities only support ID while some are missing
Expected results:
Options should have proper help text and should support "NAME" which user-friendly rather than ID which requires user to login to Vmware
Additional info:
Forgot I filled https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1638906
Which cleaned up alot of things and added all the current attributes exposed by fog. Marking this one as a dup of mine, since mine is in ON_QA already.
