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 Attila Darazs 2012-11-09 10:39:24 UTC
Description of problem:
The local_boot_trigger kernel boot parameter is not described in the guide, although it exist according to RHEV-H developers.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Missing from both RHEVH 5 and 6 guides.

Additional info:
This should be used to signal cobbler/foreman/other build systems that the installation succeeded.

(04:22:39 PM) mburns: in cobbler, we did that with "local_boot_trigger=<url_to_wget>"
(04:22:39 PM) mburns: adarazs: we have a script at the end of the installation that does wget $trigger_url -O /dev/null
(04:22:39 PM) mburns: where trigger_url == the value of local_boot_trigger
(04:29:11 PM) mburns: local_boot_trigger=http://cobbler/cblr/svc/op/nopxe/system/@HOSTNAME@
(04:29:11 PM) mburns: we substitute the actual hostname for @HOSTNAME@

But consult with the devs for exact description.

Also let me know if I need to open this for 5.x too.

Comment 3 Mike Burns 2012-11-14 12:48:28 UTC
Yes, this is supported.

local_boot_trigger=http://url/to/someplace

It is intended to be used with pxe Servers to disable PXE after installing correctly.  We run wget on the url and expect that it will disable the host in the PXE server so next boot will be from disk.
