Fixed In Version: ovirt-node-3.0.1-8.el6 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously bond=<bondname>[:<bondslaves>:[:<options>]] was being used to setup "bond". The name "bond" was being recognized by dracut and causing kernel panic with "dracut:FATAL:No netboot configured, bond is invalid". This was caused by having duplicate names in the system. To fix this "bond" has been renamed as "bond_setup" to solve conflicting names. This information is used to setup bond during an auto-installation.

Comment 4 haiyang,dong 2013-10-31 09:31:25 UTC
The same issue could reproduce in the follow version:
rhevh-6.5-20131024.1.0.iso
ovirt-node-3.0.1-6.el6.noarch
dracut-fips-004-335.el6.noarch
dracut-004-335.el6.noarch
dracut-kernel-004-335.el6.noarch
dracut-network-004-335.el6.noarch

it blocked test case for auto install to create bond,so change "Priority"
into "urgent"

Comment 7 haiyang,dong 2013-12-14 05:27:51 UTC
Test version:
ovirt-node-3.0.1-9.el6_5.noarch.rpm
rhevh-6.5-20131213.0.0.iso

Try auto install to create bond0 with "bond" parameter.
BOOTIF=eth0 storage_init=/dev/sda bond=bond0:eth1 firstboot

No kernel panic error info and create bond0 also successfully. so this bug has been fixed on ovirt-node-3.0.1-9.el6_5, after the status of this bug changed into "ON_QA", I will verify it.

Comment 8 haiyang,dong 2014-01-03 10:02:16 UTC
Sorry my mistake for comment 7, the auto install to create bond0 should use "bond__setup" parameter:
BOOTIF=eth0 storage_init=/dev/sda bond_setup=bond0:eth1 firstboot

of course this bug has been fixed in rhevh-6.5-20131220.0,so change the status into "verified".

Comment 10 Charlie 2014-01-13 05:44:32 UTC
Ok I have most of it, I'm just not sure why "bond" being recognized by dracut caused the kernel error, read the gerrit note and and it seemed to indicate there was a conflict of names? can you clarify a bit more? thanks.
