Description Flags
just check for ONBOOT even for aliases none

Description marc eshel 2006-12-12 19:40:56 UTC 
Description of problem:


RHEL4 does not support the ONBOOT for IP aliases. The setting of ONBOOT=no in an
alias config file (for example ifcfg-eth0:0) is ignored during boot time. This
control is important for HA NFS. 


How reproducible:

Set the option ONBOOT=no in an IP alias file like ifcfg-eth0:0. reboot the
machine or just run 'ifup eth0 boot' and using ifconfig you can see that the
eth0:0 is up.

Attached is a possible fix.

Having tried to do the same thing I think I found the answer.

Just double checked this on EL4,EL5 and FC2...

I think you're using the wrong variable, couldn't find the following in the docs, but stumbled across it in the script

ONPARENT=no

seems to do the job.

Non-obvious, but the docs for the ifcfg-<dev> scripts do seem a little lacking.  Apparently we're not supposed to modify them by hand and use the guis instead.

As you may already be aware, Red Hat is transitioning from the Red Hat Network (RHN) hosted interface to the Red Hat Subscription Management (RHSM) interface in July 2017. Red Hat has invested in and seen success from RHN for many years, and used that experience to build more robust technologies like RHSM. 
 
If you have not yet migrated your RHN systems to RHSM or you are a Red Hat Satellite customer, please review the information from. https://access.redhat.com/products/red-hat-subscription-management#migration. 
 
Since we are shutting down RHN, no further actions will be taken with this bug or enhancement request.  You can find additional information at RHSM product page (https://access.redhat.com/products/red-hat-subscription-management).  If you have further questions, please contact support (https://access.redhat.com/products/red-hat-subscription-management#support).
