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 Mike Burns 2012-02-07 16:27:05 UTC

Description of problem:
when passing iscsi_name to autoinstall, the installation fails and sends you to a TUI screen stating something like "Invalid installation, please reboot with reinstall"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.2

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot with iscsi_name=....
2.include other required params for autoinstall
3.
  
Actual results:
Fails

Expected results:
Passes and sets iscsi_name correctly

Additional info:

Comment 1 Mike Burns 2012-02-07 16:43:50 UTC

Further investigation showed that this is unrelated to iscsi_name.  It is actually due to the presence (or lack thereof) of the local_boot parameter.

If not specified, the step that would actually install the image and reboot the host would not run.

Comment 2 Mike Burns 2012-02-07 16:44:32 UTC

Note:  upgrade is an alias for local_boot and would fix this issue as well.

Comment 3 Mike Burns 2012-02-07 16:45:12 UTC

Patch posted upstream to:  http://gerrit.ovirt.org/1707

Comment 9 Guohua Ouyang 2012-03-31 06:54:11 UTC

Now, neither the local_boot or upgrade parameters are required for autoinstall, but firstboot or reinstall is required for autoinstall. Check details in 788225.

Verified on 6.3-20120330, autoinstall with BOOTIF storage_init firstboot/reinstall is successfully.

Set bug status to verified.
