Feature #8312
closedAs an provisioner, I would like the ability to supply a FQDN for the BMC address instead of an IP.
Description
Currently, the BMC adapter type requires a MAC address and IP Address when added to a host. I would like to be able to supply a FQDN hostname instead, and not have to supply the MAC. I'm using Dell servers with iDRAC, and in our current provisioning workflow we have the iDRAC register itself with DNS and static IP on a separate OOB network.
In this scenario, the MAC is useless to Foreman, and also the IP Address is useless because there are times when the IP Address may be changed (at which point, the DRAC would re-register the same A Record with a different IP Address).

I think this was fixed in Foreman 1.7 where you have option to make BMC interface unmanaged (managed checkbox) which does not require you to input IP nor MAC. Could you confirm, it works for you?
