This suggests one of your authoritative DNS servers is unavailable. Double check NS addresses in your zones, as well as the server specified in the zone SOA and ensure they're answering queries from Foreman.
Hi,
Thank you for your answer. I thought it was something like that.
So can you confirm me if it's possible in Foreman to not use DNS and DHCP features because I would manage by myself the DNS and the DHCP outside Foreman ?
I think it's not possible and logic too, but I not sure.
In case if it's not possible then it is possible to use Foreman to install an Host in a special isolated VLAN where a DHCP could deliver a dynamic IP address in a range but after installation of this host by Kickstart and Puppet, this host take static IP address and could be known and managed by continuation by Foreman through the static IP address.
Of course between the first installation and the first boot of the new host freshly installed, the machine will be changed from the Vlan install to the Vlan Production.
Could you say to me if it's possible currently with the Foreman v1.3 or not at all ?
Thank you in advance
Olivier

Entirely possible, it's an optional component. Just don't associate any DNS or DHCP proxy with the subnet+domain, then it won't try and manage these. Since Foreman uses IPs for identification of incoming kickstart requests, you may wish to enable tokens in More>Settings (token_duration > 0) if you're not adding DHCP reservations.

Yep, that's fine. Change the PXELinux template's kernel arguments to have:
ks=<%= foreman_url("provision")%>?static=yes
And the template that comes back will be set up for static IP addresses too.
Thank you.
I'll try it as soon.
You can close the ticket.
