Customization Issues with Static IP Configuration in OpenStack Instance Provisioning

[kiranjagadesh]

Hi @agrare

I have two issues.

1) If I try to set the static IP for my instance in the provisioning area, but the static IP does not get into the instance, it's only getting the dynamic IP address.

And I checked the backend code; it's showing the default option is DHCP.

The file name is: miq_provision_openstack_dialogs_template.yaml

2) Under the "Customize" column area in the instance provision option, there are two options available: DHCP and static. If you select DHCP, the columns for IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway options will be hidden. If you choose static, the columns will be enabled.

Could you please guide me in resolving these issues?

Is this the same issue as #22847 ?

Hi, @Fryguy ,

Those two queries are different.

Here I meant the following:

1. Under the customize option, we find two methods of IP allocation that is "Static and DHCP".

When Static method is chosen, we find the option to enter the desired IP address, subnet mask and gateway enabled.

Similarly, when the DHCP method is chosen, by default, the option to enter the desired IP address, subnet mask and gateway should be disabled, right?.

But we find this option enabled, making it confusing for the users.

So, can you please guide me on this?

2. Under the customize option, when I choose the method of IP allocation as "Static" and give the IP address, gateway, and subnet mask, I see a different IP is allocated dynamically to the instance created.

On checking the backend code, I find that the default option is set to DHCP.

File name: miq_provision_openstack_dialogs_template.yaml

Can you guide me on changing this?

[Fryguy]

Yeah these both sound like bugs. For 1. that is likely a presentation issue and I agree that when DHCP is chosen the other fields should be disabled. For 2, I would expect the static IP to be passd down to the provisioning tasks.

@GilbertCherrie Can you take a look at the UI issue on this one?
@agrare Can you take a look at the underlying provisioning issue? (It might still be UI, not sure)

Opened a separate issue for the UI issue in the ui-classic repo: ManageIQ/manageiq-ui-classic#9064 with PR: ManageIQ/manageiq-ui-classic#9063
