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). 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 Sneha Arya 2024-01-22 17:28:51 UTC 
Created attachment 2009714 [details]
Attached the screenshot where VMware NIC and Network type is grayed out

Description of problem:
Updating VMware NIC type and Network options are disabled for host provisioned via the Red Hat Satellite 6

After the creation of a VMware host, Satellite can't perform the following operations:

- Adding an additional NIC
- Configuring an existing NIC
- Deleting an existing NIC


How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Provision a VM on a subnet.
2. After provisioning from Satellite, go to the host and edit the interface tab, try changing VMware NIC type and Network options, they are grayed out or disabled.


Actual results:
Unable to change the VMware NIC type and Network setting from the provisioned host's interface tab.


Expected results:
Network and NIC Type should be changed on the provisioned host's interface.

This is working as intended, the hypervisor host would only get created/show up with a run of virt-who, these are essential fake hosts to make the host/guest mapping work correctly for subscriptions. If you try to edit or do anything on that host in the UI it will fail because it's a fake object. 

Any type of host updates for an ESXi host, should be done either through vCenter or the ESXi webui, if not connected to a vCenter server.

Let's close this out.

Closing based on Comment 2, this is working as intended
Comment 4 Sayan Das 2024-02-12 11:04:59 UTC 
Hello Ron and Chris, 

I believe we are misinterpreting the reported issue in the description.

It's not about modifying any Hypervisor properties at all.

When we are using VMware compute resource\profile to deploy a VM on VMware infra, for the same VM, we cannot change the compute attributes related to the network e.g. VMware NIC type and Network options, etc afterwards, from satellite UI. 

The customer simply wants to make sure that, The way we were able to deploy the VM using compute resources and that allowed us to select and configure the network part, The same should be possible to update\modify\change after the VM deployment as well.. The same concern applies for any associated VMs. 

Please confirm if i should re-open the BZ ?

Thanks Sayan, from a quick chat with Chris he acknowledged and therefore I am opening this one, thanks!
Comment 6 Chris Roberts 2024-02-13 14:53:44 UTC 
Yes, that is correct, sorry about the confusion.

We should be able to edit the hosts Nic when the VM is powered on since, in VMware you cannot change the Nic while a VM is powered on.

This is a valid bug
