Create a host without mac

Support
1

I am trying this,
{
"host": {
"name": "testhost11",
"ip": "10.1.0.239",
"compute_resource_id": "5",
"hostgroup_id": "52"
}
}
but i got something wrong.
{
"host": {
"id": null,
"errors": {
"mac": [
"is invalid",
"can't be blank"
]
},
"full_messages": [
"MAC address is invalid",
"MAC address can't be blank"
]
}
}

If you want a host without MAC, you need to provide it in unmanaged
mode. Try to send "managed" as "false".

You need to distinguish between bare metal hosts that needs MAC
address and foreman managed hosts that does not need any MAC address.

If you set a compute resource (libvirt, oVirt, vmware, cloud…) than
MAC address should not be required. If you try this via UI the MAC field
will disappear after you set a compute resource.

I met this behavior recently and it was caused by missing
compute_attributes in the params (even empty "compute_attributes": {}
worked for me to bypass the missing MAC error). It is not easy to figure
out the right combination of parameters.
To me the easiest option would be to use hammer with -d option and check
what prams the CLI sends to the server.
Here is description of specific options for various providers


and here is howto for Hammer https://github.com/theforeman/hammer-cli
