Operatig system list during builds

Support
1

All,
I have just 4 OS’s linked with actual media to use when building
However, I’ve noticed that other operating systems are showing up in the list during the build menu. Seems if a host gets added (not built by Foreman) or an host gets updated, then these new minor versions are added to the list

I keep having to remove the names from the architecture tab, so they aren’t linked to x86 anymore, but they keep returning over time

Is there a permanent fix for this?
thanks

Hi @chatlow

There are a few ways the Operating System records get created:

  • Syncing a Kickstart Repo
  • Creating them manually
  • When Subscription Manager, Ansible or Puppet report facts in and the facts parser does not have an OS, it creates them

I am guessing we are dealing with the 3rd use case below.

I think this setting should do what you want under Facts: Ignore facts for operating system

try that and let me know if it works.
