we run a foreman installation with katello to provision our openstack
environment. Openstack has the side effect to create a vast amount of
interfaces and bridges on the compute nodes, which then will be imported
into foreman. I'm looking for a way to want to avoid this.
I tried to configure this with foreman-rake. This setting is now:
This does not help unfortunately. So I would appreciate if someone could
explain the workflow of how foreman creates the interfaces to me.
What I mean, is that I don't understand under which circumstance foreman
creates a new entry for an interfaces for a host in the database. Does this
happen only if facts are imported, are only new facts considered or are
older facts merged?
every puppet or rhsm fact update will add all missing NICs but never
delete existings. You can turn off this behavior, it's a global
setting not sure how its named but it will prevent from any NIC to be
created by facts.
