Problem:
Hello everyone.
The first problem is that I couldn’t find a description of handle discovered_host which is supposed to make an auto-provisioning.
Expected outcome:
My goal is to integrate an internal system with foreman. I would like to setup OS to my bare metal servers and I want to do it on a fly using API without preparing hostgroups, domains and subnets.
So deployment should look like a have prepared just templates, other information passes from our internal system like hostname operation system, arch, disk count and so on.
So I would like to know what exactly fields are required to pass and is it possible what I’m talking about.
Foreman and Proxy versions:
Installed Packages
foreman.noarch 1.14.3-1.el7 @foreman
Hello, auto provisioning requires hostgroups to be set. You can however create a API/CLI script that will list all discovered hosts and then initiate provisioning where you can pass all arguments manually:
hammer discovery list
Lists all hosts.
hammer discovery provision --help
