Description Radek Vykydal 2010-12-22 13:29:56 UTC
Created attachment 470201 [details]
patch with fix

I came across this issue while working on bug #638131 - the use case is installing via one NIC while using iSCSI target via another NIC. I'd like to write  BOOTPROTO=ibft and DEFROUTE=no (depending on ks parameter) into iSCSI device's ifcfg file, but DEFROUTE is ignored in this case. I am attaching a patch. Or am I missing some reason for present behaviour?

Comment 2 Dan Williams 2011-01-11 15:51:33 UTC
I think because the initial iSCSI support only targeted the iSCSI device as the boot device, and because with ibft the settings are stored in NVRAM and not changable.  GATEWAYDEV is a global setting though, so it isn't stored in NVRAM.  Given that GATEWAYDEV is a global, I can't think of a reason why this patch should not be applied.

Comment 4 David Cantrell 2011-01-26 15:17:24 UTC
QE:  We need to get this fix included in NetworkManager in RHEL-6 for anaconda bug #638131.  We have the changes on the anaconda side, but NM still needs this fix.

Comment 9 Radek Vykydal 2011-04-01 12:55:24 UTC
I tested it here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=638131#c22 from my installer needs POV and it is fixed for me - DEFROUTE=no is honoured and things work as expected.
