RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
During the installation of RHEL 7.3 (Beta), the network interface is ens224. All the files created also target this device. Once the system completes installation, and boots, the network device name changes to eno33559296. The interfaces do not come up until the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* files are updated with the interface change.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 7.3
How reproducible:
Customer can reproduce every time
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using kickstart, install RHEL 7.3 (Beta)
2. After installation, reboot the system
Actual results:
Network interface name changes to onboard (eno) when it was "ens" during installation. The network files don't target it correctly and networking doesn't come up
Expected results:
Network interfaces keep the same name they had during installation
Additional info:
Currently the workaround is to change the name in the ifcfg files during installation with a %post script and "sed" commands.
