Configured Alias interface doesn't come up automatically after host provisioning

Description of problem:

I was trying to configure alias interface while provisioning a discovered host with rhel71. I passed eth0 mac and selected static subnet. Also checked the Virtual and Managed checkboxes.

when host was provisioned successfully, I didn't see alias interface with ifconfig -a. However configuration file of alias interface was there. and it was correctly configured. But the interface didn't come up automatically after provisioning. When I executed  ifup eth0:0", interface came up with ip address.

Please note that this is the issue only on rhel71. On rhel66 I can correctly see the configured interface and it automatically come-up after provisioning.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sat6.1 GA snap5

How reproducible:
always on rhel71

Steps to Reproduce:
1. discover a host
2. provision it with rhel71
3. add alias interface

Actual results:
Configured Alias interface doesn't come up automatically after host provisioning

Expected results:
interface should come up. no manual intervention should require.

on rhel66 alias interface automatically comes up after provisioning

Comment 5 Marek Hulan 2015-05-29 15:50:43 UTC
After some testing it seems, that NM ignores config files with colon in name. After renaming the file (e.g. ifcfg-eth0_0), interface seems to start correctly.

Verified with snap7. Alias interface come-up automatically on rhel71 now. Please see the attached screenshot of console. Thank you for fixing this.
