I've defined a new OS called 'OracleLinux' (For OEL) and gave it version
6.4.
When I try to define a host with that operating system, it complains in two
locations:
Media - CentOS mirror does not belong to OracleLinux 6.4 operating system
Partition table - RedHat default does not belong to OracleLinux 6.4
operating system
Note that I have NOT selected either in my operating system definition.
I have left both empty in the OS definition. Perhaps there's some kind of
fixed default?
I defer to more expert users, but I think I have run into this as our
standard OS is OEL…
Does your OS Definition have the CentOS Install Media checked? I created
an Oracle Linux install media definition, then associate it with Oracle
Linux versions that appear under Operating Systems.
I'm just guessing on this, one but within the OS definition there is an OS
Family pulldown. I believe this is related to the osfamily fact for
systems that check-in with an undefined OS. If you created the OS
definition before any Oracle Linux systems reported to Foreman you may not
have selected the RedHat Family. This family is linked to the RedHat
related templates.
In order to do unattended provisioning of an OS you create, you must start
by setting up the Media, then the OS, then link the OS to the Media, then
link the Provisioning Templates to the OS. I actually prefer to copy the
default templates to new templates in-case there is some customization
required - like for the kickstart, but I am a rookie with Foreman, it may
not be necessary.
I hope this helps, kind regards!

No, it does not have the media or partition table checked.

It had the RedHat family selected. That didn't work.
I removed that (and thus not selected anything). That doesn't work either.
I suspect I need to define a new 'medium', and new 'partition table' and so
forth.
But I'm not even using a template nor provisioning anything (yet)!

I've published what my Oracle Linux Media and OS pages look like on Google+

I'm guessing you're missing some association that's connecting the pieces
together.

Might be the evil corporate firewall, though.
In any case, I don't do provisioning (yet), so I have not configured
anything wrt media and such.

Yaniv,
I sent you the images from the link off-list. I might suggest if you're
struggling with getting the provisioning to work properly, that you work
through it using CentOS before trying to add a custom OS. I realize that
your company might not allow you to reach the CentOS mirror. It seems that
Foreman 1.2 doesn't not come out of the box with the complete linkage
between Media, OS, Partition Templates and Provisioning Templates. The
components are all defined, but as you begin to provision, you'll be met
with a few steps to connect the dots before it works.
