Check the username and password you set in the image under the Compute
Resource in Foreman, and double check your image actually has that
user/pass set up. Perhaps it's simply failing to log in?

Hi Dominic,

I checked it already.
The image have user root/root1234 and the same configured in
"Compute Resource in Foreman"(root/root1234).

I can't understand why it shows error regrading my Foreman server when I
try to provisining from template:
This is my foreman server /etc/motd why it promp?

"puppet - CentOS release 6.6 (Final)
Use your Domain Admin/Account to login"

Just to clarify my Foreman server can't be ssh with root directly only with
Domain user and after that you can switch to root(sudo su -).

Hi,

Just to update.

I found the issue - when I'm using fixed IP in the template instead of DHCP
and inserting the same IP in Network section it works.
It leads to other question - Why DHCP not working?

Any ideas?

Hi Dominic,

I thought it will be solved in the next releases (I'm working with Foreman
1.9.3) but still the same issue?
For some reason if I’m giving static IP to the Template image and then
inserting the same IP in the: New host > Interface > Server IP, it working
for me and the finish templates is working.

Maybe it’s related to error I get when trying to suggest new DHCP IP ->
“Error generating IP: Not Found”

Why dhcp is not working for me?
Can you help me here?

A 404 response probably means it isn't configured properly. If it's
meant to be using DHCP, then ensure you have a DHCP smart proxy assigned
to the subnet (under Infra > Subnets > Proxies) and the IPAM mode on the
subnet is set to DHCP too. Check the smart proxy log file as it will
log about the request.

You can also enable debug logging to get more information, i.e. to see
if it's querying the DHCP smart proxy or using an internal DB IPAM mode.
See Foreman :: Manual.
