Description Yaniv Lavi 2016-09-25 12:05:27 UTC

Description of problem:
In difference to the RHEL\CentOS default, NICs should be enabled by default in anaconda installation for nodes. Hypervisors require network by default and there are no use cases where this should be off after install.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.0

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Install RHV-H with defaults

Actual results:
NICs are off by default, no network is available. 

Expected results:
NICs should be on.

We can probably do this via "installclass.setNetworkOnbootDefault".

However, there is not a reasonable "default" to set for networking. We cannot know whether users will want DHCP, static networking, bonding, VLANs, or any other configurations.

The best case is that we can force users to enter that spoke (though there doesn't currently seem to be a good way to do this without a patch to Anaconda).

Comment 2 Fabian Deutsch 2016-11-22 09:45:48 UTC

If you install RHEL, then a NIC is getting installed if a network installation is performed. But no NIC is getting enabled when it's an offline installation (ie through an ISO).

Regardless of this the NICs can still be enabled in the anaconda UI or in a kickstart file independent of the installation method.

RHVH inherits this behavior today, and this should be sufficient.
