Hi Anton, From my understanding the puppet packages for RHEL come from the RH Common repository (https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1184073) although when I looked I did not find an ISO that contained RH Common. When I searched the Red Hat Media iso's I located puppet packages on the Satellite installation media. So on our kickstart server I include the Satellite media iso and then in the kickstart configuration I add the Satellite repo (e.g. repo --name="Satellite" --baseurl=http://kickstart.example.com/kickstart/sat62_64 ). We currently use a standalone kickstart server outside of Satellite but I imagine this could also be done in Satellite provisioning. I believe there are Satellite ISO's available for both rhel 6 (https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/250/ver=6.2/rhel---6/6.2.7/x86_64/product-software) and rhel 7 ( https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/250/ver=6.2/rhel---7/6.2.7/x86_64/product-software). My intention is to kickstart and have puppet installed and once that is done I would setup the hosts with the RH Common repository available through satellite to keep the version of puppet in line with what Satellite expects.
Not sure if that helps but I would also be interested in the answer to your question or any comments on what I have done above to try and solve this problem. -Tomas On Monday, February 27, 2017 at 3:08:08 AM UTC-5, [email protected] wrote: > > Hello, > > last week I required to provision some RHEL 6.8 VMs using Forman. > The last time this was the case some months ago. > > We are using Foreman 1.12.0 on a RHEL 6 host. > > During kick start install the following error was raised: > > > It took three days to find the issue on my local side. > I thought it has to do with our Proxy and DNS changes and Firewall > replacement. > I was replacing the local dvd media, changed the local web-server, > analyzed around with (No)SSL, switched for EPEL from mirrorlist to baseurl. > Played around with appending stage2... in PXE templates, tried to move > EPEL from Internet to my local Webserver. > And checked all logs I can found. > No success. > > Then I found this: > > http://smoogespace.blogspot.fr/2016/11/where-has-puppet-gone-in-epel-6-and.html > > http://smoogespace.blogspot.fr/2016/12/puppet-not-coming-back-to-epel-el-6.html > > So package puppet has been removed from EPEL 6 REPO! > Question is now to me: What is required to do to enable the - mandatory - > RHEL 6 Foreman provisioning again? > Which parts needs to be touched? > > I did not find any post related to this in the mailing list. > > Thanks for any help. > > BR, > Anton -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Foreman users" group.
