Description Brian Cook 2012-02-01 17:48:01 UTC

Description of problem:
sys-unconfig does not properly unconfigure network devices.

Tested in RHEL 6.2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sys-unconfig a rhel 6.2 server
2. swap NIC or clone VM, anything that causes the MAC addr of NIC device to change
3. boot up server, instead of having a eth0 with a new MAC, you get:

Actual results:
  -an eth1 device with no ifcfg-eth1 file
  -an ifcfg-eth0 with the mac addr of eth1 specificed in it
  -a udev rule forcing the new NIC to be device eth1

Expected results:
  -an eth0 device with ifcfg-eth0 with the correct NEW mac addr in it
  -a udev rule forcing the new NIC to be device eth0

sys-unconfig is part of initscripts, not setup.

Comment 3 Lukáš Nykrýn 2012-02-02 10:16:40 UTC

This looks same as #750833.

Comment 4 Brian Cook 2012-02-02 14:28:49 UTC

750833 doesn't have the information about udev, so I opened this one.

Comment 5 RHEL Program Management 2012-05-03 05:32:17 UTC

Since RHEL 6.3 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

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.
