We use foreman to manage our puppet infrastructure , some of out physical
servers are not reporting the operating system right. these are on the same
version as our virtual servers and run rhel.
Any suggestions on what can be done to fix this ? .

Hello,
You can try to compare the output of facter between the different servers -
Foreman imports the facts when puppet is run and attempts to assign the os.
Also, from the screenshot it looks like you are running on an older version
of foreman - which version is it? There may have been changes in more
recent versions to the os selection code.

It's likely that fact imports are failing, checking Foreman's
production.log for fact uploads should show if there were errors.

Thank you Tomer for the suggestion I did compare the relevant facts
(attached is a sheet with the comparison). We are on foreman 1.10.
The version of facter is 2.4.4 and the same across all servers.

Thanks for the suggestion Dominic , I was able to finally resolve this one.
These physical servers are multihomed with bonding configured (we also have
configured vlan's on top of bonding). Foreman was not displaying any of the
interface details due to this. I edited a host which was not displaying the
OS . edited the interface section updated the mac address and ip address
manually also the identifier. The OS details and the hardware model was
populated post the next puppet run.
Regards ,
Sree.
