Hi,
I had a request today to setup both Oracle Linux 7 and CentOS 7 for
provisioning in Foreman. In doing so I also setup the foreman-templates
plugin and sync'd the provisioning templates. It appears I have trouble
changing an existing Host's OS from Oracle Linux 6 to CentOS 7. I've
posted some screens to Google+ -
https://plus.google.com/105327828729026800537/posts/R7m1LyHhZYa
Is this a bug? After changing the OS to a different platform with
different install media, the install media menu is empty. If I create a
new host using CentOS 7 this is not an issue. Am I missing something?
Thanks!
So as a followup, the CentOS 7 machine I created as a new host will not
provision it pxe boots, beings to load from the media and bombs out on the
puppet install citing an issue that appears to be only related to RHEL7?
Anaconda ends with:
> puppet-3.6.2-3.el7.noarch requires ruby(selinux)
>
Screen here:
https://plus.google.com/105327828729026800537/posts/KumgGPDJUeD
Which in all my searching just comes up with a Bug filing with PuppetLabs
about updating the requirements to add a RHN server-optional repo…doesn't
seem like that should be required for CentOS. Am I missing something here,
shouldn't this work kind of out of the box?

Looks like anaconda is not finding libselinux-ruby in your package set. Are
you sure your install media has that rpm?

Well, I'm almost certain you're correct, except that it doesn't fix my
issue with Oracle Linux.
Here's what I've just discovered this morning… the CentOS 7 4GB ISO does
not have what's required, so I downloaded and rebuilt my install repo from
the CentOS 7 "Everything" ISO which seems to work so far.
Oracle Linux only seems to distribute a 4GB ISO, so I'm going to have to
setup a repo for the OL7 Optional packages :
http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL7/optional/latest/x86_64/
I'll post another update when I get it worked out.

Yep, looks like Oracle Linux maintains it in the same way as RHEL in an
'optional' repo. Though since that is a public repo, you should be able to
set up a 'repo' line in your kickstart to point directly at OL-optional to
get your OL machine going for now, and replicate the repo in parallel for
your release management going forward.

Ok, so, what does RedHat call the optional repo in the yum.repos.d file?
I ask because I don't have an active RHEL subscription, and Oracle is
calling their's [ol7_optional_latest]
I stumbled upon the RHEL specific kickstart template
(https://github.com/theforeman/community-templates/blob/master/kickstart/provision_rhel.erb)
and was wondering how it gets puppet installed on RHEL7, with out
specifically doing anything with the optional repo. Perhaps RHEL7's repo
files have the optional stuff enabled by default?
My thought here is that I would submit a PR to the templates such that
yum-utils is installed and in the %post% are there's a section that enables
the optional repo using yum-config-manager --enable <repo> as needed prior
to installing puppet.

Alright, so I've got the provisioning working for both platforms. CentOS7
required that I setup my media repo from the "Everything" ISO. Oracle
Linux 7 required using the Kickstart RHEL template with a patch as I
discussed in the previous post (thanks Greg!). Here's that patch if
anyone's interested. Unfortunately, I don't have any RHEL subscriptions at
the moment, so I'm not able to see what the repo is called for RHEL or know
whether it's enabled by default.
https://github.com/theforeman/community-templates/compare/master...salderma:master
I am still running into an issue with puppet runs after the provision of a
system with either of the OS's. I posted over on the puppet list, but no
replies yet.
After the reboot at the end of the provisioning, the puppet agent on both
systems produce this:
Failed to apply catalog: Could not retrieve local facts: undefined method
> `to_a' for "ens33":String
>
and
> Failed to apply catalog: Could not retrieve local facts: undefined method
> `to_a' for "ens192":String
Just curious if anyone has seen this? Thanks!

RHEL is more complicated, and depends on your package source.
If you are using subscription-manager authenticated sources (RHN, etc):
You actually can't do any of this through 'repo' lines and the %packages
stanza.
You would have to do it all in %post, after registering the system.
If you use RHN Classic style rhnreg_ks registration (still works against a
Satellite) or mirror your own repos (I don't have experience with pulp on
this point):
Then you can use 'repo' lines to point at your copy of the RHEL Optional
repo.

So given the current status of the community provisioning templates repo,
is it a correct statement to say that the "Kickstart RHEL" template is not
functional for RHEL7?
I don't see any code in there that points to configuring the optional repo
only for RHEL 7. The comments imply that RHEL7 is supported by the
template though…So I'm wondering if the template really works or not.
This template doesn't have the puppet install under the packages section,
it's in the post script area…

I haven't worked with subscription-manager enough to say for sure, but I
think the template would be functional with RHEL7 if your activation key (
@host.params['activation_key']) is set up to authorize access to the
Optional repo. I haven't rebased my templates in a while so I still have
puppet installing in %packages, but the %post in the template you linked
should work as long as that repo is authorized to the client system,
assuming that this template is also functioning for
you: https://github.com/theforeman/community-templates/blob/master/snippets/redhat_register.erb
