Our R&D labs do a lot of testing on a variety of Operating Systems. We have 
gotten the Linuxes working and would like to add ESXi, Windows and Solaris 
11 as well. The steps we have taken so far are as described below.

 

1.      Edit file ~foreman/app/models/operatingsystem.rb and add the new OS

FAMILIES = { 'Debian'    => %r{Debian|Ubuntu}i,

               'Redhat'    => 
%r{RedHat|Centos|Fedora|Scientific|SLC|OracleLinux}i,

               'Suse'      => %r{OpenSuSE|SLES|SLED}i,

               'Windows'   => %r{Windows}i,

               'Altlinux'  => %r{Altlinux}i,

               'Archlinux' => %r{Archlinux}i,

               'Coreos'    => %r{CoreOS}i,

               'Gentoo'    => %r{Gentoo}i,

               'Solaris'   => %r{Solaris}i,

               'Freebsd'   => %r{FreeBSD}i,

               'AIX'       => %r{AIX}i,

               'Junos'     => %r{Junos}i,

               'NXOS'      => %r{NX-OS}i,

               'Xenserver' => %r{XenServer}i,

  'ESXi'      => %r{ESXi}i, }

2.       Add file ~foreman/app/models/operatingsystems/esxi.rb with 
relevant information

3.       Add relevant Provisioning Templates using the Foreman web interface

 

The question we have is do we need to make changes to the Database? The 
following files under ~foreman/migrate/ seem to indicate some kind of 
database updates? Sorry, I’m not familiar with Ruby Rails architecture. 

 

20100310080727_add_family_to_os.rb:        os.family_id = 
Operatingsystem::FAMILIES.index :Solaris

20100616114400_change_family_in_os.rb:    families = ["Debian", "Redhat", 
"Solaris", "Suse", "Windows"]
20120127141602_add_windows_templates.rb:class AddWindowsTemplates < 
ActiveRecord::Migration

Thanks for your input.
