Created attachment 925125 [details] nic_name screen shot Description of problem: It should show the whole NIC names in Network page to avoid misunderstanding. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhev-hypervisor7-7.0-20140807.0.iso ovirt-node-3.1.0-0.6.20140731git2c8e71f.el7.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install rhev-hypervisor7-7.0-20140807.0.iso 2. Check the NIC name in Network page. 3. Check the NIC details. Actual results: 1. After step2, it have two NICs are named as the same name 'enp32s0'. 2. After step3, you can find one NIC named as 'enp32s0f0' while another is named as 'enp32s0f1'. Expected results: 1. It should show the whole nic's name to avoid misunderstanding. Additional info:
It looks like it's possible to hit the 15-character limit on ifdev names pretty easily here. 80x24 is going to be hard, even if dynamically size this based on the longest name present in the system. Do we want to shorten the manufacturer field in order to show this? Determine dynamically or to 15 characters?
Currently we show Device, Status, Model, MAC Address I can imagine that we a) Abbreviate the status i.e. (C)onfigured, (U)nconfigured (M)anaged b) Drop the MAC address, because the Device name provides much more informations on el7, than on el6 Looking at the output of nmcli, I'd choose b). The mac address can still be viewed in the details dialog, it will just vanish from the overview. Thoughts?

Fabian, rhevh 6.6 with node 3.1 is still for RHEV 3.5 GA, so if you move the MAC, it is not good display for el6.
According to comment 3, I change this bug status to ASSIGNED to re-design.

Good point. We migth just then want to distinguish between systemd and non-systemd systems. (Where we assume that systemd provides the predictive nic names).
No customer case attached and this can wait for 3.6.
Test version: rhev-hypervisor7-7.2-20151025.0.el7ev ovirt-node-3.3.0-0.18.20151022git82dc52c.el7ev.noarch Test steps: 1. Install rhev-hypervisor7-7.2-20151025.0.el7ev 2. Check the NIC name in Network page. Test result: 1. The NIC name can be showed as whole name. And as comment#2 shows, it remove MAC address info in ovirt-node-3.3.0-0.18.20151022git82dc52c.el7ev.noarch. This issue is fixed in ovirt-node-3.3.0-0.18.20151022git82dc52c.el7ev.noarch. Change the status to verified.
