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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2014:1380 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE anaconda bug fix and enhancement update 2014-10-14 01:10:50 UTC

Description Alexander Todorov 2013-09-18 10:15:17 UTC 
One of our test cases uses bonding configuration and the resulting ks.cfg is not the same as the one passed to anaconda.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-13.21.206-1.el6.x86_64
RHEL6.5-20130913.0

Steps to Reproduce: 
 1. Obtain a machine with two Ethernet ports connected to an Ethernet switch


 1. Start kickstart installation of the system 
 2. Ensure that kickstart contains
      + network --bootproto=dhcp --device=bond0 --bondslaves=eth0,eth1 --bondopts=mode=balance-rr,arp_interval=100,arp_ip_target=ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd


where ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd is the IP address of the default GW for the network. 

 3. Ensure that bond has been set up properly during installation in %post

 4. Also check bond setup on  the installed system



Expected results:
 1. Installation should pass without errors
 2. Bond has been properly set up either during the installation and on the
    installed system

 3. After system is installed check network statement in /root/anaconda-ks.cfg,
    it should contain all channel bonding specific options specified in the
    original ks.


This contains:
 
network --onboot yes --device bond0 --mtu=1500 --bootproto dhcp
network --onboot yes --device eth0 --noipv4 --noipv6
network --onboot yes --device eth1 --noipv4 --noipv6



You can check above mentioned setup by inspecting:

  * /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves - should contain

    eth0,eth1

  * /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/mode should contain
    balance-rr and/or 0

  * /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/arp_interval should contain 100
  * /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/arp_ip_target should contain ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd


^^^^ this was all correct on the installed system.
