Hi all,
I have been trying to test the OpenStack Foreman Installer with different combinations of
Foreman versions and of the installer itself (and even different versions of Puppet) with
no success so far.
I know that Packstack alone works but I want to go all the way with multiple hosts and
bare metal provisioning to eventually use it for large deployments and scale out Nova
Compute and other services seamlessly.
The error I get when running the foreman_server.sh script is always:
--------------
rake aborted!
undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
Tasks: TOP => db:seed
(See full trace by running task with --trace)
--------------
After that, if Foreman starts, there’s nothing in the "Host groups" section
which is supposed to be prepopulated by the foreman_server.sh script (as described in
http://red.ht/1jdJ03q).
The process I follow is very simple:
1. Install a clean RHEL 6.5 or CentOS 6.5
2. Enable EPEL
3. Enable the rdo-release repo:
a. rdo-release-havana-7: Foreman 1.3 and openstack-foreman-installer 1.0.6
b. rdo-release-havana-8: Foreman 1.5 and openstack-foreman-installer 1.0.6
c. rdo-release-icehouse-3: Foreman 1.5 and openstack-foreman-installer 2.0 (as a note
here, the SCL repo needs to be enabled before the next step too).
4. Install openstack-foreman-installer
5. Create and export the needed variables:
export PROVISIONING_INTERFACE=eth0
export FOREMAN_GATEWAY=192.168.5.100
export FOREMAN_PROVISIONING=true
After setting FOREMAN_PROVISIONING=false and running foreman_server.sh with the default
versions of Puppet (3.5) and Foreman (1.5) everything installed and the "Host
groups" in the "Configure" section are now populated.
I’d like to use provisioning (DHCP, DNS and PXE) and everything suggests it should be
possible so it looks like a bug.
6. Run the script foreman_server.sh from /usr/share/openstack-foreman-installer/bin
For 3a and 3b I also tried with an older version of Puppet (3.2) with the same result.
These are the full outputs:
3a: http://fpaste.org/97739/ (Havana and Foreman 1.3)
3b: http://fpaste.org/97760/ (Havana and Foreman 1.3 with Puppet 3.2)
3c: http://fpaste.org/97838/ (Icehouse and Foreman 1.5)
I’m sure somebody in the list has tried to deploy and configure Foreman for bare metal
installations (DHCP+PXE) and the documentation and the foreman_server.sh script suggest it
should be possible in a fairly easy way.
I filled a bug as it might well be one, pending confirmation:

Any help is really appreciated!
Many thanks.
