[manager-beta] Unable to install system with yomi

[Michael Brookhuis]

Hi,

I am using the sles15 version. I will receive a pop-up how to register 
against SCC but no system will be registered with SALT.

Then logging into that server I see that the master has been set to 
salt. This means that you have to have a DNS entry for salt. This is in 
my opinion a very bad idea. The master should be given with a parameter 
during boot.

After changing the master in master.conf to my SUSE Manager Server and 
restarting the salt-minion, the system appears.

Configuring the formulas show that there is still a lot to be done. Some 
examples:
Yomi Storage:
- when selecting btrfs for /, I would expect that the default 
sub-volumes are set automatically. This is not the case.
- filesystem xfs is not present. And this is mostly used especially for 
data volumes.

Yomi Software:
- I would expect that I can select software channels that are present in 
SUSE Manager. I think we should use what is available as distribution 
repositories. They can then be used during installation.
- If then the channels are selected from within SUSE Manager, it should 
be easy to display the available patterns to be installed. This should 
be done via checkboxes.

Yomi Services:
- If you select to install salt-minion, there should be a drop down box 
that allow to select the activation key. The needed configuration files 
(normally done during bootstrap) should then also be created accordingly.

Please feel free to contact me if you have more questions or need 
assistance. I like this way of setting up servers, but we also would 
need automation in the next step.

Thanks
Michael
