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

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
