Hello, get your hostgroup working first, you need to test it by creating a new host with that hostgroup, give it a random MAC address and Submit. Once you get this working, then you can use auto provisioning.

Cheers.

@lzap Thanks for your prompt reply, I was able to create the host and tested with hostgroup with random VM MAC address, Even i can discover the Virtual host and when do the auto provisioning getting the below error on the provisioning logs

Can you please let me know why it is not allowing to boot the image.

Thanks in advance,
Chandru.

Then taxonomy must be incorrect, check organizations and locations for all associated objects.

@lzap, Thank you,
I have checked the objects which have the same default location and organization. there is no difference in all associated object, Please let me know what exactly stopping the kickstart boot image not to boot from the console

Hi all, I solved the issue and to let everybody aware about this error I want to share my findings,

After auto provisioning you can see the kickstart file under /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/ the file name will be on your mac id name(01-00:56:50:8f:a3:fc) open the file and you will see service token for kickstart file like this http://server1.example.com:8000/unattended/provision?token=1f2fe4b6-a156-4c1e-be60-03ffe077a994… just browse the url and it should work and if it doesn’t work you have not configured correctly and differs on your scenario

For me the port 8000 was not running and when I checked under foreman-installer http was false and once http module is changed to true, the auto provisioning start working with the kickstart.

@lzap Thanks for your help !!

Yeah thanks for getting back to us. Indeed, you must not disable smart proxy HTTP port if you intend to do provisioning.
