I'm utilizing the foreman interface.
I'm trying to provision a new VMWare VM.
via the foreman interface - https://fqdn/hosts/new
It's not allowing me to add anything to the "Operating System" field, which
is currently read & has a note "can't be blank". [ mouse pointer is a red
circle w/ the slash through it]
So …
- Why is it blank?
- how do I fix this?
- is there a way to use a perl/bash script to fire off a VM utilizing a
template?
Regards,

Check you have an operating system available under Hosts > Operating
systems. The associations to the architecture, installation media,
partition tables and templates are very important too, so it shows up on
the new host form.

[ "which is currently read" should be "which is currently red" ] I'm
sorry that i wasn't clear. I do not have an operating system
available.
Hence my questions:
- Why is it blank?
- how do I fix this?
Thanks for the youtube video. I'll take a look at it.
Regards

You have to do some setup operations in Foreman's global provisioning
settings before you can provision a VM: you need to define operating
systems you want to provision, partition tables, installation media…
It's all in the Foreman GUI, inside the provisioning setup pages, but it's
hard to explain here from scratch: you'd better have a look at the official
docs or some howto.
