Terraform provisioning always going to network boot

[thatsk]

Hello Team, I am trying to use image as provisioned but by default it is going to install via network boot. Is there any param we need to set to use for cloning VM template.

[thatsk]

@lhw any lights on this

[lhw]

Something like this should work:

data "foreman_image" "example" {
  name = "some image name"
}
resource "foreman_host" "example" {
  name = "compute01.dc1.company.com"
  image_id = data.foreman_image.example.id
}

[thatsk]

this is error @lhw

 "error": {"id":null,"errors":{"ptable_id":["can't be blank unless a custom partition has been defined"],"medium_id":["can't be blank"]},"full_messages":["Ptable can't be blank unless a custom partition has been defined","Medium can't be blank"]}
}
]
}

[thatsk]

This was working upto 0.4.5 and now latest seems like some new stuff has been added.

resource "foreman_host" "newtest" {
    name                    = "kunal"
    compute_profile_id      = "${data.foreman_computeprofile.medium.id}"
    build                   = true
    compute_resource_id     = "${data.foreman_computeresource.int-msp.id}"
    domain_id               = 2
    hostgroup_id            = "${data.foreman_hostgroup.terraform.id}"
    image_id                = "${data.foreman_image.example.id}"
    model_id                = 0
    operatingsystem_id  = "${data.foreman_operatingsystem.Centos79.id}"
    owner_id            = 3
    retry_count         = 2
    parameters = {
      "puppet_environment" = "farm",
    }
}
resource "null_resource" "newtest" {
  triggers = {
       templateid = "${foreman_host.newtest.id}"
  }

  connection {
    type = "ssh"
    host = "${foreman_host.newtest.interfaces_attributes[0].ip}"
    user = "root"
    password = "${var.password}"
    port = "22"
    agent = false
  }

  provisioner "file" {
      source      = "scripts/"
      destination = "/tmp"
 }
}

when I am checking the code it has been refactored for provision_method and build params.

[thatsk]

which param is defining i need to use this image for cloning and which param say it goes in network boot

[thatsk]

on 0.5.0 says methods are deprecated now and need to use method and build and if we get some lights on this.

@lhw i am trying to understand and findiing solution but this is not working even I use build true or false

[thatsk]

it says use build arg how to use that in terraform code

[thatsk]

If you can guide me what I am doing wrong then I will knw

[thatsk]

@lhw any pointer?

[agriffit79]

Is this still an issue? If so can you post DEBUG log output for it working in the older provider version and not working in the latest version. Specifically the line containing hJSONBytes:

[thatsk]

is there any bug in my above code or is that correct

[thatsk]

@agriffit79 @lhw
Working in 0.4.x

hJSONBytes: [{"host":{"build":false,"comment":"","compute_attributes":{},"compute_profile_id":"160","compute_resource_id":"38","domain_id":"133","host_parameters_attributes":[{"name":"puppet_environment","value":"farm"}],"hostgroup_id":"375","image_id":"12","medium_id":null,"model_id":null,"name":"kunal","operatingsystem_id":"89","owner_id":"3","owner_type":"","provision_method":"image","puppetclass_ids":[]},"location_id":1,"organization_id":2}]

Not working In 0.5.x which has introduced build parameter:-

hJSONBytes: [{"host":{"id":0,"name":"kunal","created_at":"","updated_at":"","build":false,"domain_id":133,"owner_id":3,"hostgroup_id":375,"operatingsystem_id":89,"image_id":12,"managed":true,"comment":"","host_parameters_attributes":[{"name":"puppet_environment","value":"farm"}],"compute_resource_id":38,"compute_profile_id":160,"config_group_ids":null,"puppet_attributes":{"puppetclass_ids":null,"config_group_ids":null}},"location_id":1,"organization_id":2}]
```

[thatsk]

provision method is missing in new one

[thatsk]

how its handled in build parameter thats confusing part

[thatsk]

#106

[thatsk]

waiting for your response

[agriffit79]

This is another regression caused by 2fa9ff2. It's now impossible to set provision_method = image. I think the best fix is to set this whenever image_id is a non nil value.

Are you able to locally build and test the provider if I do a quick hack to test it will work?

[thatsk]

its building for 0.4.3 is that ok with 0.5 ? does it gonna work with above example which is on 0.5.x

[thatsk]

@agriffit79 tested cloning works fine can you raise PR against 0.5.8 so that I can test in official release?

[agriffit79]

I would like to see if we can get a fix for #106 as well before releasing a new version. To avoid too much churn in the code base.

[thatsk]

sounds good thank you @agriffit79 much appreciated

[thatsk]

@agriffit79 its not cloning the vm can you tell me if I missed anything? this is not working in 0.5.x

[thatsk]

#103

[thatsk]

#102

[thatsk]

@agriffit79 don't why owner has closed this issue?

[bitkeks]

Problem was, the "method" (now called "provision_method") argument was not passed on to Foreman, therefore it was always a "build". See PR #122 which re-introduces the method and works with image-based provisioning.
