Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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 Peter Vreman 2015-10-02 06:59:27 UTC 
Description of problem:
I receive the unspecified error that something is wrong with the interfaces.
 1. What exactly is wrong is not specified leaving the user clueless what might be the fix.
 2. I never set the any values of interfaces through neither the GUI or API, so how can it be that it is now suddenly invalid?
 3. The error is thrown when other non-network related values were modified, i my case the medium and ptable.

# curl -K /opt/hoici/etc/sat6/curl-hoici.conf "-HContent-Type: application/json" "-d{\"per_page\":9999,\"host\":{\"medium_id\":10,\"ptable_id\":7}}" -XPUT https://localhost/api/v2/hosts/5

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. See the interface configuration above
2. Update a value in the host
3.

Actual results:
Updating of medium and ptable fails

Expected results:
Updating of medium and ptable succeeds

duplicate eth1 interface

In the UI i can see that eth1 is used twice as identifier.

This is incorrect, as with the current running system there is only 1 eth1. The second eth1 was only used during the kickstart process. But after the reboot at the end of the kickstart the real ethX are there. Foreman shall then see those ethX values and remove any temporary ethX devices used during kickstart.

The same would happend with cloning the VM (e.g. for backup) and then reverting back to the clone (restore of backup). I will create a seperate BZ for this

Comment 3 Peter Vreman 2015-10-02 09:34:35 UTC 
Deleting the duplicate interfaces from the UI also not possible.
When i delete the duplicate interfaces and press Submit it always reports "Some of the interfaces are invalid. Please check the table below."

Connecting redmine issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/11034 from this bug
Comment 7 Bryan Kearney 2015-10-07 12:45:02 UTC 
Per Marek Hulan:


the upstream issue would just help with getting rid of extra interface but 
wouldn't solve the original cause - the creation of invalid interface. It's 
not straightforward to cherry pick this to downstream as it relies on fact 
that all addresses are in interfaces objects which is not the case in 6.1 as 
primary IP and MAC are still in host, so bigger changes would have to be done. 

Another workaround to get rid of invalid interfaces that should work in Sat 
6.1 is to use the interface API (not host API) which should skip this 
validation.

Comment 12 Tazim Kolhar 2016-04-07 07:34:18 UTC 
Hi,

  please provide verification steps

Thanks and Regards,
Tazim
Comment 13 Marek Hulan 2016-04-07 07:51:26 UTC 
Tazim, you can try following

1. add new NIC to host with one existing interface, 
2. swap identifiers with the one that was already there (eth0 <-> eth1),
3. rerun puppet 

now go to host edit form and try to save it with some change, e.g. different partition table. Interfaces should be updated correctly after puppet run so no errors on interfaces should be reported.
Comment 14 Sachin Ghai 2016-05-31 08:43:46 UTC 
Verified with sat6.2 snap13.1

The reported issue is no longer reproducible with snap13.1. I defined interfaces as suggested in comment13. I created 3 interfaces eth0, eth1 and eth2. later I swapped eth1 <-> eth2 and ran "puppet agent -t", I see updated config under host details -. NIC.

Later when I tried to update the ptable, media but edit host, I was able to do that without any issue.
