Hammer CLI

Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1263332
Description of problem:

I'm trying to create Hosts via the hammer host create command, but once the host is created, it does not have the correct networking and compute attributes as specified in the compute profile used during creation.

Talking to @Tomáš Strachota on irc, he said:

10:21:32 tstrachota: omaciel, it looks like a bug. Hammer sends :compute_attributes => {:volumes_attribute => {}} by default which breaks a 'compute_attributes.empty?' condition on the server side and therefore the compute profile is not applied

My setup is as follows:

• libvirt compute resource with compute profiles associated and configured to use my virtual network device (named 'foreman')
• hostgroup is associated with libvirt compute resource (and therefore, the compute profile named "2-Medium") and real RHEL 7.1 content

The following command was used to create a host:

hammer -u "${ADMIN_USER}" -p "${ADMIN_PASSWORD}" -v -d host create --name="rhel-7-server-64-08" --mac="eb:42:17:15:71:0e" --medium-id="${RHEL_7_SERVER_64_MEDIUM_ID}" --root-pass="abracadabra" --organization="${ORG}" --location="${LOCATION}" --architecture-id="${ARCH_64}" --operatingsystem-id="${RHEL7_OS_ID}" --environment-id="${RHEL_7_SERVER_64_ENV_ID}" --domain-id="${DOMAIN_ID}" --puppet-proxy-id="${CAPSULE_ID}" --partition-table-id="${KICKSTART_TEMPLATE_ID}" --compute-resource="local_libvirt" --hostgroup="RHEL 7 Server 64-bit HG" --compute-profile="2-Medium" --interface="network='foreman',network-type='Virtual (NAT)'"

In theory I should be able to pass the host group information and the compute profile, network interface, etc, etc, should be automatically fetched by hammer, but I decided to explicitly pass as many arguments as I could.

The host gets created and can be seen in the web ui, but it cannot be powered on. Upon inspection of said host via the web ui, one can see that the networking device is set to 'physical' and not the virtual one as specified by the compute profile.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

• Satellite 6.1.2 running on RHEL 7.1
