Problem:
When trying to auto-provision a server in foreman, we get the error message “interfaces.subnet6 is not defined for location”. If i disable the auto-provision rule, leaving it in discovery, there does not appear to be any reference to ipv6. We only have 1 ipv6 subnet defined in foreman (configured as EUI-64), but it belongs to a different location.
Via foreman-rake console, the discovered host reports subnet6 is nil.
If I add the location to the ipv6 subnet, it does provision, and foreman-rake console reports it having a subnet6, but it doesn’t actually have an ipv6 address. It doesn’t even create an AAAA record, so it must be “failing” to pick the ipv6 as well.
I don’t understand where foreman is getting the idea to place it in this ipv6 subnet. It seems to be rather exclusive to a very limited set of servers, but I haven’t found anything that separates these from servers that work.
Expected outcome:
Foreman should not be attempting to assign an IP to this subnet.
Foreman and Proxy versions:
1.13.4
Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:
Discovery 7.0.0
