It has become apparent to me that the bigger issue here is that the Yum repos
I'm syncing for OEL from Oracle aren't kickstart trees, so they are missing
files such as squashfs.img. My first thought after that realization was to
just slap the missing files into /var/lib/pulp/..., but that felt like a recipe
for future problems. Now the path I'm headed down is to mount the installation
DVD and sync it.
If anyone has had to deal with OEL or just has another idea in general I'm open.
Big thanks to stbenjam in IRC for the info and ideas.

Subject: [foreman-users] Adding tftp / pxe target
Hello,
After I installed and configured (all via the web UI) Katello 3.1 / Foreman
1.12 and synced CentOS 7 repositories it seems that all of the tftp/pxe stuff
necessary to do pxe installs of CentOS was automagically setup for me.
For example, /var/lib/tftpboot/boot contains:
CentOS-7-x86_64-initrd.img
CentOS-7-x86_64-vmlinuz
...and
/var/lib/pulp/published/yum/http/repos/My_Org/Library/custom/centos/c7/LiveOS/squashfs.img
exists.
I'm trying to add pxe boot/install support for OEL 7. I created similar
products, content views, media, and OS as I have for CentOS. I used host
discovery to create a new host entry and selected the OEL stuff I setup.
/var/lib/tftpboot/boot/OracleLinux-7-x86_64-initrd.img and
OracleLinux-7-x86_64-vmlinuz where created for me, but they were 0 byte files.
So I manually replaced those files with the appropriate ones from the OEL
"boot" CD.
However, the installer now fails because
/var/lib/pulp/published/yum/http/repos/My_Org/Library/custom/oel/o7/LiveOS/squashfs.img
doesn't exist.
What is supposed to create those files? Is there a hammer command I should run
or something?
Thanks,
j
