Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-1.2.0-0.8.rc1.fc25.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create multiple IPoIB interfaces using P_Keys for part of them 2. Make all network config files us static IP addressing 3. Reboot machine Actual results: The wrong interfaces will get IP address. NetworkManager is failing to match the configuration with the interface. Expected results: Each interface will be up and have the proper static IP address Additional info: Failure to match interfaces can be demonstrated by the following error from the command line: [root@rdma-storage-01 network-scripts]$ ifup mlx4_ib0 Error: Connection activation failed: qib_ib1.8005 failed to create resources: Parent interface (null) must be an InfiniBand interface As you can see, I tell it to work on one interface, it tries to activate an entirely different interface
I think using dhcp hides the problem as the interface ends up getting the right address even if it's started based on the wrong config since the address is handed out by the dhcp server. But, I have noticed (and was going to file a bug about) that dhcp based interfaces were becoming unreliable as to whether or not they would all get started. This problem would explain that since if the wrong configuration file is used to start the dhcp interfaces too, then only some would get started depending on when the child interfaces for P_Key devices are created and whether or not the right P_Key interface exists when the config for that interface is processed.
I can confirm that the final 1.2.0 release fixed this bug.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle. Changing version to '25'.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
