Problem:
I am currently installing a fresh new foreman in our environment. After successful installation of foreman I have installed Discovery plugin and after that I tried to boot one of our VM’s for discovery process. The discovery process happens in Legacy mode but when I try with UEFI then a grub command line appears. When I use SET command then I can find that it has picked the correct IP and all details. The problem is its not booting with UEFI mode whereas it is working in legacy mode. I tried with all the different settings in the forum. Can anyone please help me with the right process of Installing foreman. Below is the process which I have followed.
- Installed foreman on centos 7 as per the official Foreman :: Quickstart
- Then I have configured the firewall
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=53/tcp
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=67-69/udp
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=80/tcp
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=443/tcp
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=3000/tcp
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=3306/tcp
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=5910-5930/tcp
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=5432/tcp
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=8140/tcp
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=8443/tcp
firewall-cmd --reload
3. Set up the LDAP which is working fine.
-
Enable DHCP server to hand out IP addresses and provide PXE/UEFI boot capabilities.
foreman-installer --enable-foreman-plugin-dhcp-browser
–foreman-proxy-dhcp=true
–foreman-proxy-dhcp-managed true
–foreman-proxy-dhcp-gateway “10.XXX.XXX.XXX”
–foreman-proxy-dhcp-interface “eth0”
–foreman-proxy-dhcp-nameservers “XX.XXX.XXX.XXX,XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX”
–foreman-proxy-dhcp-netmask=“255.255.255.0”
–foreman-proxy-dhcp-range “10.100.XXX.1 10.100.XXX.99”
–foreman-proxy-httpboot=true
–foreman-proxy-http=true
–foreman-proxy-httpboot-listen-on=both
–foreman-proxy-tftp true
–foreman-proxy-tftp-managed true -
Set up the Subnet in Subnet section.
-
Add Host Discovery to Foreman.
foreman-installer
–enable-foreman-proxy-plugin-discovery
–foreman-proxy-plugin-discovery-install-images=true ( Which is failing and i have to manually install as below)
yum install tfm-rubygem-foreman_discovery
systemctl restart httpd.service
- Then Set Administer→ Settings → Provisioning → Default PXE global template entry → Set this to ‘discovery’
- Hosts → Provisioning Templates → Push the “Build PXE Default” button
Now it’s Booting in Legacy mode but not in UEFI.
Can anyone please help me if I am missing anything. I think I am missing something.
Expected outcome:
Discovery Image booting and get the unknown host details.
