providing hosts with foreman
Hi all, I've setup a foreman server, but when adding a new host by "discovered hosts", I can't modify the address item which is default filled with a built "mac-DNS". In ovirt setup, I want to identify my future hosts by their IP and not their unknown DNS name like it is described here: http://www.ovirt.org/Features/ForemanIntegration. How can I setup foreman to do such a thing? Is the setup of the DNS proxy related? -- Nathanaël Blanchet Supervision réseau Pôle Infrastrutures Informatiques 227 avenue Professeur-Jean-Louis-Viala 34193 MONTPELLIER CEDEX 5 Tél. 33 (0)4 67 54 84 55 Fax 33 (0)4 67 54 84 14 blanchet@abes.fr

Not exactly, it set the address field to be the name you choose for the host dot (.) the domain that related to the picked host-group

IP addresses can and should be dynamic based on your DHCP server configuration, but DNS name should stay the same. Adding the host that way to engine uses satellite to configure its DNS entry and other network configurations. That's why we lock the address field and fill it with the future FQDN.

Yes, the DNS setup is related to it. We depend on it. Using IP address might brake the integration between engine and satellite when the DHCP service is configured with address ttl option and can give the host different IP address in next boot. So currently we don't support address modification with Discovered\Provisioned Hosts
If that answer is not clear feel free to ping me in irc (ybronhei @freenode #ovirt) or reply here Regards, -- Yaniv Bronhaim.
Hello Yaniv, Okay for the DNS proxy, everything works now as expected. I have a new question now about the install host workflow. The host is in "installing OS" state, and on the host side it has been successfully installed. But now how to complete the host vdms installation and registration? I found this on your wiki : "For other OS - at first step won't do the registration by themselves, but foreman will do that using a plugin (plugin will send REST-API call to add or approve the host) " After investigation, I found that this plugin was this one : ruby193-rubygem-ovirt_provision_plugin (and with foreman 1.8 we can activate it with foreman-installer now) But nothing happens once the OS is installed et the state is stuck on "installing OS". Communication between foreman and engine is okay and without firewall issue... I found nothing significative into the foreman logs or somewhere else... What is it supposed to happen at this step?
