RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
Calling "udevadm trigger --type=devices" will ifup all network devices, including those with ONBOOT=no in their ifcfg files.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
udev rpm: udev-147-2.46.el6.x86_64
initscripts rpm: initscripts-9.03.38-1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ifdown an interface (eth1 for example)
2. set ONBOOT=no in its ifcfg file
3. Call udevadm trigger --type=devices

Actual results:
ifup called on eth1

Expected results:
ifup not called on eth1

I think that setting HOTPLUG=no would be a proper solution here.

Do you mean adding that to all ifcfg files? it is not really an option... but after reviewing the entire initscripts, I understand you point of view.
