Re: [foreman-users] Generic Image For Capsule

2017-02-24 Thread Lukas Zapletal 
We are tracking a ticket already to move Subnet image to Subnet page
rather than have it with a host, just matter of priorities. This was
rushed in a bit, I agree it's confusing. Feel free to move this
(sending a PR).

Re: [foreman-users] Generic Image For Capsule

2017-02-21 Thread 'Jason B. Nance' via Foreman users 
In the boot disk drop down I would most likely change subnet image to content 
host image, though I can see how that is misleading since the image isn't 
really based on the selected content host but the subnet configuration.  How 
about Capsule/Smart Proxy generic image instead?

I would name the ISO the same way the generic image is, though, since it is the 
same as the generic but pointed at the Capsule/Smart Proxy.

Ahh... this is much simpler than I though.  The "subnet" image basically is the 
"generic" image just pointing to the Capsule/Smart Proxy.  The name of the ISO 
was what was throwing me off.  I thought there was something subnet-specific in

Hi Lukas,

I already had the settings as you indicated but the generic image for this host 
is pointing to the primary Katello/Foreman server.  I tried cancelling the 
build and clicking build again but results were same.

Am I misunderstanding how this should work?  Is the "generic" image always the

image instead?

Thanks,

[foreman-users] Generic Image For Capsule

2017-02-14 Thread 'Jason B. Nance' via Foreman users 
Hello,

After creating a new host I can download the generic image, which can be used 
to boot/install the host.  This generic image points at the Katello/Foreman 
server itself.  How do I download a generic image that points at a 
Capsule/Smart Proxy?

I've tried creating a host and setting its content source to the Capsule but 
the generic boot disk still points at the primary Kat/TFM server.

Thanks,

j
