In addition to the above changes, you'll also need to change "device.OnBoot:" to "(device.OnBoot or device.OnParent):" on line 349, or else the new aliases won't come up unless they have "ONBOOT=yes" listed in the alias config file. Or perhaps change "device.OnBoot:" to "(device.OnBoot or (actdev.find(device.Device) and device.OnParent)):" on line 349, so the aliases will be brought up by system-config-network-cmd if the parent device hasn't changed, but will be brought automatically by the parent device otherwise.

I've been using the previous patch on RHEL5 in a production environment for almost 2 years now. I've been using the above RHEL6 patch in a production environment for about 6 months. It works as intended, and I have yet to discover any side-effects.
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Due to the end of Production Phase 1 of the Red Hat Enterprise Lifecycle for RHEL5, we are closing this RFE. Please refer to: https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/ |
