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:
When looking at my system via the Cockpit application, under networking, no Infiniband devices are listed, displayed or monitored. My current system has 2 active Infiniband devices, ib0 and ib1. Neither are accounted for.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cockpit-0.93-3.el7.x86_64
How reproducible:
I'm running RHEL 7.2.latest with a 2 port Meallanox MT25208 InfiniHost III Ex card configured with IpoB. Cockpit doesn't display any information about them.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Cockpit and start
2. Log into Cockpit and go to Networking tab
3. Observer zero Infiniband information
Actual results:
Zero Infiniband information displayed/captured/monitored
Expected results:
Both Infiniband devices would be listed/displayed/monitored just like the other networking devices.
Additional info:
example Infiniband ifcfg-ib0 configuration:
DEVICE=ib0
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=192.168.X.Y
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
BOOTPROTO=static
NM_CONTROLLED=no
CONNECTED_MODE=yes
MTU=65520
TYPE=InfiniBand
IPV6INIT=no
USERCTL=no
lspci | grep -i infini

This PR should improve things:
https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/4825
It doesn't add explicit support for Infiniband, but rather lets Cockpit handle unknown interface types better. This allows us to show them all, without fear that Cockpit will mess them up too badly.
