Can you please comment here why it is necessary, the same way described in the https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/37098?

Provisioning a RHEL9 system with a dedicated nic for provisioning and another as primary results in a duplicated host created on satellite, with the name defined on the provisioning interface.
This happens because we're using the rhsm component of Anaconda to register the system. At that point of the installation, the host is using the hostname that it got from the DHCP. Then it registers into Satellite with that name.
Later, the anaconda will update the name for the name of the primary interface, but at that point, the extra host already exists on Satellite.
This change sets the expected hostname to the host early during the installation avoiding this situation.

We want to avoid using %pre if there is a proper way. We already push the hostname on the network here:
So the question is, why isn't that used. I suspect it's because we don't set up the networking properly and only use the network statement for the provisioning interface. #9961 aims to solve that.
If the hostname of the machine itself needs to be set while booting, then the proper place to solve it is probably in the boot. https://anaconda-installer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boot-options.html#ip describes how to do that with Anaconda. https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/blob/develop/app/views/unattended/provisioning_templates/snippet/kickstart_kernel_options.erb is where we send those. The challenge here is probably that we use DHCP mode where the hostname isn't set.

Hi, there has been a change in configuring network interfaces during the provisioning; we are now using the Can you please check if the problem still occurs with the new behavior? |
