Description Jan Stodola 2022-02-03 17:26:29 UTC
Description of problem:
InfiniBand network device doesn't exist on the installed system, although it was available and used during the installation - the system was installed via this interface.

After installing the rdma-core package and restart, the device is available and properly configured:

[root@localhost ~]# ip a

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-9.0.0-20220203.0
anaconda-34.25.0.25-1.el9

How reproducible:
1 out of 1 attempt

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run installation via an InfiniBand device (with ip=ibp130s0f0:dhcp on the kernel command line)
2. Finish the installation and reboot to the installed system

Actual results:
InfiniBand devices don't exist.

Expected results:
InfiniBand devices exist and properly configured.

Additional info:
Workaround is to install the rdma-core package after the installation (or add the package to the %packages section in the kickstart file).
