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-2015:0311 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE NetworkManager bug fix and enhancement update 2015-03-05 17:35:10 UTC

Description Dan Williams 2014-09-17 14:22:54 UTC 
When you change a bond from active-backup (with a primary specified) and then change to round-robin, and attempt to save, you get the error:

Unable to save connection: bond.options: 'primary' option is only valid for 'mode=active-backup'

likely because the tui isn't clearing the bond options when the mode changes, or something like that.

typo ("drop is")

I think you need to add the option back in the TRUE case as well; otherwise if you fill in a primary value, then change the mode and then change it back, the entry would still show the old value, but it wouldn't be set in the NMSettingBond.
Comment 4 Lubomir Rintel 2014-09-19 16:54:07 UTC 
Does this look better?

Comment 5 Dan Winship 2014-09-19 19:44:16 UTC 
yes, that looks right
Comment 6 Dan Williams 2014-09-19 21:34:06 UTC 
Looks right to me too.  We may need to do this with other options too, but this fixes the immediate bug.
Comment 7 Jirka Klimes 2014-09-22 07:29:04 UTC 
The patch looks good to me.

37f1208 tui: additional fix for 'primary' option

Pushed to RHEL 7.1 too: NetworkManager-0.9.9.1-41.git20140326.4dba720.el7
Comment 14 Vitezslav Humpa 2014-09-23 10:40:02 UTC 
Looks like the 'Primary' option is mandatory for the whole form not depending just on Active Backup mode where it's visible. So it currently blocks the 'OK' trying to create a connection with any other mode. (NetworkManager-0.9.9.1-41)

I've pushed incomplete fix to el7. This needs to be removed and replaced with a complete fix.
