Feature #3664

Support deletion of installation media that's in use
Added by Dominic Cleal over 10 years ago.
Updated almost 6 years ago.
Description
When deleting a installation media that's associated to a host or host group, the deletion fails.
Actual results:
Error, installation medium is not deleted.
Expected results:
Hosts and Host Groups are un-associated to the install media and the install media is deleted.
Additional info:
Current work around is to unassociate that install media from any host or host groups in foreman and re-try the promotion.
Error in foreman:

We need to consider the user experience thoroughly without just changing the association to nullify. For example, the host edit page doesn't have an allow_blank on the install media selection, so it appears that the install media is actually selected when it isn't.
Perhaps we should block deletion when there are associated hosts in build mode?
Perhaps we should ensure the user gets a good error message when they put a host into build mode that's missing install media? (I haven't checked)

The media field on the host form does allow for a blank option, we can do :nullify if the host is not in build mode.
Is this still a bug now that Katello (I think) doesn't create a media entry?

Editing hosts one by one isn't very practical.

Plenty of people use Foreman without Katello.
