Hi
I am foreman newbie.

I am trying to kickstart a VMWare VM using CentOS 7 provisioning setup in foreman.

Where can I find the file to locate line 24 that contains filesys ?
Problem:

Unknown command: filesys in CentOS 7 Kickstart file.

Expected outcome:

No issue in kickstarting CentOS 7

Foreman and Proxy versions:

1.17

Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:

Other relevant data:
[e.g. logs from Foreman and/or the Proxy, modified templates, commands issued, etc]

“Kickstart RHEL default clone” is the template I used. I can search oses keyword in this kickstart file but I can’t “filesys” keyword.

If you switch to preview you should see the full kickstart for the host (there is a drop down to generate a preview for a specific host pick the correct one.) you should find it there and that should give you an idea which snippet or line of code it corresponds to.

@y-me-y

Thanks for great pointer on using preview mode.
can now see line 24 actually started with filesys kickstart option.

Following code ,

<% if @dynamic -%>
%include /tmp/diskpart.cfg
<% else -%>
<%= @host.diskLayout %>
<% end -%>

Got rendered into

filesys c0t0d0s0 7000 /
filesys c0t0d0s1 1000 swap
filesys c0t0d0s3 15 unnamed
filesys c0t0d0s7 free /tmp2

Looks like rendered code in preview mode, filesys option is wrong.

How can I change diskpart.cfg or host.diskLayout to generate code like following ?
Looks like I need to do more RTFM of foreman.

# partitioning
part /boot --fstype="xfs" --ondisk=sda --size=500
part pv.10 --fstype="lvmpv" --ondisk=sda --size=51200
volgroup VolGroup --pesize=4096 pv.10
logvol / --fstype="xfs" --size=20480 --name=root --vgname=VolGroup
logvol swap --fstype="swap" --size=4096 --name=swap --vgname=VolGroup

Turns out I picked Solaris partition table for CentOS OS, my bad :wink:

Yea I was just about to ask you what options you picked for the media - but I am glad you got it solved.

c0t0d0s0 smell like solaris device name ;), I am away for jumpstart/kickstart for couple years and become rusty on these stuff. We used to have home gown framework trying to mimic 10% what Foreman can offer now. Foreman is truly a nice software :clap:

Yup, the more you pay attention when defining OS, templates and stuff, more troubleshooting time you save, because sometimes it can be tricky to find out what is going on.
