Building host fails with Exit Code 8 on preseeding if second domain is used

Support
1

Problem:

I am provisioning hosts with PXE and preseed. I got multiple Domains that belong to one subnet. This subnet has a DHCP-server managed by foreman.

Domains:

  1. configuration.example.zone
  2. example.cloud

If I build a host with domain 1 the setup process is running fine. If I use the second domain, I am getting this error:

A strange issue:

In foreman, the new host, in this example “ann-keever.example.cloud” is built and after preseeding a second host is being added to foreman which is called ann-keever.configuration.example.zone.

This line is the one I don’t understand:

Parameters: {"facts"=>"[FILTERED]", "name"=>"ann-keever.configuration.example.zone", "certname"=>"ann-keever.example.cloud", "apiv"=>"v2", "host"=>{"certname"=>"ann-keever.example.cloud", "name"=>"ann-keever.configuration.example.zone"}}

  • 2.4

Seems like it’s not possible using DHCP as IPAM for two domains using the same subnet. Changed it to internal db, which works fine now.
