Bare metal builds

Support

Hey there,

I have quite a few questions about bare metal builds. Ohad, could we
meet on IRC when you are available to chat about some of the questions
I have? Posting all of them here might be a little lengthy :wink:

I'm usually available on irc, so you could try to ping me there, today would
probably be a bit harder for me, but next week for sure.
in anycase, there are other people on the channel, so you can probably get a
lot of useful info even if I'm away :wink:

in case the docs are lacking (just in case :wink: Romain has done a great job of
writing a few blogs of how to setup foremanā€¦

Arg, I'll just post here : )

I'm having some issues getting tftp builds to work. I have set up my
smart proxy to use tftp (same box as my puppetmaster and foreman).
I've set up the tftp directories and configuration options below.

ll /tftpboot/
total 8
drwx------ 2 foreman-proxy root 4096 May 28 14:35 boot
drwx------ 2 foreman-proxy root 4096 May 28 14:37 pxelinux.cfg

ll /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/
total 4
-rw-rw-rw- 1 foreman-proxy foreman-proxy 161 May 28 14:37 default

(foreman-proxy/settings.yml)

Enable TFTP management

:tftp: true
:tftproot: /tftpboot

Should I leave this commented out? (foreman/settings.yml)

#:tftppath: tftp/

When I click on build in the edit view of a host, I see the following
error "Failed to enable <host> for installation:"

In the foreman/production.log I see the following item being logged,

DEPRECATION WARNING* Managing TFTP without a smart-proxy will not
be supported in the next release
TFTP Failed: Permission denied - RedHat-6.0-x86_64 or /usr/share/
foreman//01-00-18-8b-41-ce-d0

It seems odd that its trying to place the tftp file in /usr/share/
foreman?

then you should associate subnets with domains.
once configured, you should get a subnet drop down in the host new/edit
page.
