hostname is not set upon the boot parameter hostname= with ip=dhcp for Red Hat Enterprise Linux7 installation
Issue
- I made a ipxe file that has the hostname for the server and pass it to the Satellite, but the server name ends up being localhost.
#!ipxe
#
echo Booting to Red Hat for ${hostname}
set boot-path ${17}/linux/rhel/7/isolinux
initrd ${boot-path}/initrd-7.img ||
chain ${boot-path}/vmlinuz-7 ip=dhcp ks=http://satellite-server/ks/cfg/org/1/label/rhel7-ks.cfg hostname=testmachine100
Environment
Red Hat Satelite 5.4
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 installation
