This will allow users to specify 'other' Red Hat kickstart partitioning options (i.e., --fsoptions, --label, etc.).

Install the 'dos2unix' package on the frontend, then preprocess all spreadsheets through dos2unix to translate all MS characters to a Unix compatible format.

When one writes a custom extend-partition.xml or replace-partition.xml, the nukedisks code needs to be replicated. Instead this can be separated out to avoid code duplication.

Kranti, our bug bounty hunter, discovered backend nodes cannot route through the frontend to get internet access. This is because iptables is on, but in 7.x RHEL/CentOS the actual service files are broken into iptables and iptables-services rpms.

Ability to manage backend nodes that are in different subnets.

The 'stack set host interface channel' command was not ported to Stacki -- which is causing an error when trying to configure bonded interfaces by importing a host configuration spreadsheet.

• Currently stacki does not offer a way to make changes to the installer. initrd.img, and install.img are created during build, and are not modified.
• Products.img is built on the frontend during distribution creation.
• updates.img is not used anymore and may be a good avenue for making changes to the installer at a customer site.

It should allow users to specify 'adapter', 'enclosure' and 'options'.

In redhat 7.x they seem to be using /etc/man_db.conf instead of /etc/man.config. MANPATH entries need to be appended to /etc/man_db.conf and not man.config.

It also needs to be MANDATORY_MANPATH and no just plain 'ole MANPATH.

1. Intrinsic attributes are currently part of the mainline StackI command line process.
2. They are not extensible.
3. Change the intrinsic attribute computation to a plugin based architecture, so that any customer can
   define attributes that are computed (as opposed to stored).

Examples:

1. Attribute that is a list of all hosts in a cluster that have zookeeper attribute set to true
2. Attribute that is a list of all non-root disks of a machine.

This will require a database change.

Dup stdout and stdin to a file so all barnacle install output is saved.

We should be able to make distribution much faster when no new RPMs are added to a distribution.

An idea:

• keep MD5 checksum files on each pallet and cart and compare against the existing MD5 checksums in packages.md5 in the existing distribution

This will be helpful when we have to explicitly specify 'megacli' or 'storecli'.

And it should also have a 'VERSION' column

Verify bootstap installs all the pre-reqs to compiling the pallet.

Go through and do a grammar / english check on the wiki.

Currently, the only way to add pallets during installation is over the network using a central server.
We need to ability to supply pallets from multiple DVDs during installation (As it used to be for StackIQ 6.6).

The changes should be made in the wizard.

1. When an admin clicks on "Add Pallets", the dialog box that opens should allow for adding pallet using DVD along with adding pallets through the network.
2. When pallets have been selected using multiple DVDs, the "Download Pallets" window should eject an existing DVD, and inform the user to insert a new DVD for download.

Eliminate all calls to fillPositionalArgs() in all commands.

Currently, when the "nukecontroller" attribute is set to true, StorCLI removes all existing virtual drives. However, it does not remove any JBODs created.
Make sure to also run

storcli /cx set jbod=off

Fix: determine that "xml" is not an appliance and print an error

Document process of build a Frontend and Backend in VirtualBox. Disk/RAM requirement and VirtualBox networking.

private - host only
public - NAT network

The "NAT network" means you can ssh from your host environment directly onto the Frontend.

When --no-net-reconfig flag is present, don't reconfigure the local network.

Investigate changing the database from MySQL to MariaDB.

If 'newest=false', then this flag should be passed to 'stack create pallet' too and all versions of an RPM should be present in the pallet.

With --noX flag, boss_config.py should use ncurses rather than wxPython.
