when checking /etc/hammer/cli.modules.d/ there is no mention of bootdisk
only the following

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root   41 Apr  8 20:38 foreman_ansible.yml
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root   40 Apr  9 02:43 foreman_puppet.yml

when running hammer -d

i can see the following are loaded

running dnf repoquery -l rubygem-foreman_bootdisk to confirm what files are part of the install there are no mentioned of it touching anything in /etc/hammer/cli.modules.d/.

Its my understanding that hammer loads further modules from cli.modules.d,
is likely to be the cause of the issue or perhaps just another side effect?

You need to install the rubygem-hammer_cli_foreman_bootdisk package for Hammer to work with Bootdisk. Do you have that?

4

Thank you for responding and apologies for not making that clear,
Yes, rubygem-hammer_cli_foreman_bootdisk is what is installed and was done so via the foreman-installer.

5

But the installer doesn’t support installing the Bootdisk CLI parts :thinking:

And the rubygem-hammer_cli_foreman_bootdisk package contains /etc/hammer/cli.modules.d/foreman_bootdisk.yml which is missing on your system as per the above paste.

So foreman_plugin_bootdisk isn’t installing rubygem-foreman_bootdisk?

I attempted to install rubygem-foreman_bootdisk today and it said it was already installed,
so i presumed it must have been installed by foreman_plugin_bootdisk.
due to this i made dnf reinstall before posting this issue.

I then proceeded to check what the package was installing using dnf repoquery -l rubygem-foreman_bootdisk and it doesn’t look to touch the module directory.

shouldn’t dnf repoquery -l rubygem-foreman_bootdisk return /etc/hammer/cli.modules.d/foreman_bootdisk.yml if it includes it?

Sure, and it does. That’s the Foreman plugin.

You say rubygem-foreman_bootdisk, that’s the Foreman (server) part of Bootdisk. But I wrote rubygem-hammer_cli_foreman_bootdisk (note the hammer_cli in the package name!), which is the Hammer/CLI part.

Thank you,

Totally missed that.
