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:

I am unable to enable nfs.service on boot using the "systemctl" tool.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

[root@scloudnfs01 ~]# rpm -qa | grep nfs
libnfsidmap-0.25-9.el7.x86_64
nfs-utils-1.3.0-0.el7.x86_64
[root@scloudnfs01 ~]# uname -a
Linux scloudnfs01.cam.ppc.pega.com 3.10.0-123.20.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 21 09:45:55 EST 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
How reproducible:

Easily reproducible (100%)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL 7 64-bit
2. Install nfs-utils package
3. Attempt to enable nfs.service on boot

Actual results:

[root@scloudnfs01 ~]# systemctl enable nfs
Failed to issue method call: No such file or directory
[root@scloudnfs01 ~]# systemctl is-enabled nfs
disabled

Expected results:

[root@scloudnfs01 ~]# systemctl enable nfs
[root@scloudnfs01 ~]# systemctl is-enabled nfs
enabled

Additional info:

Can provide at any time.

This problem is because of this bug in systemd
   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1159308

Waiting on movement on that.

The workaround is to enable/disable nfs-server
