Problem:
Booting Foreman discovery via PXE is super slow for me (takes half a day to complete). Fyi, i’ve foreman server in east coast and i’m trying to image a server in west coast.
Expected outcome:
Would like to know if there is a faster solution for this or it has to be both foreman server and client i’m imaging has to be in the same location?
Other relevant data:
[e.g. logs from Foreman and/or the Proxy, modified templates, commands issued, etc]
(for logs, surround with three back-ticks to get proper formatting, e.g.)
Right after i submitted this problem request, i’ve started playing with smart-proxy
I ran into problems with smart-proxy setup as i was following Foreman :: Manual and it didn’t work for me because i’ve Katello installed on top of Foreman.
I was able to successfully install & configure smart-proxy by following Foreman :: Plugin Manuals. Discovery via smart-proxy is fast as i expected.
