Last modified: 2016-11-03 14:01:07 EDT
Created attachment 1164413 [details] screenshot Description of problem: Ifconfig command is not supported on p2v client Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-p2v-1.32.5-1.el7.iso How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot the source machine into p2v client via iso 2.Input the ip and password of conversion server 3.At the input conversion info interface, there are many networks listed in network interfaces 4.Exit the p2v GUI interface and enter into p2v console mode, input the command#ifconfig to check network info of machine but p2v shows not support ifconfig command #ifconfig ifconfig:command not found 5.Try to use command #ip a list which told by rjones, the network info could be showed normally, pls refer to screenshot Actual results: As above description Expected results: Although command #ip a list could show network info at p2v console mode, it is known by little people.The command #ifconfig is usually used by most of people for checking network info. so it is better if p2v console mode could support ifconfig command Additional info:
I have a trivial patch lined up in my queue for this (not posted).
I can reproduce this issue with build: virt-p2v-1.32.4-3.el7.iso Then try to verify this bug with new build: virt-p2v-1.32.5-5.el7.iso Steps: 1. Boot the source machine into p2v client via iso 2. After virt-p2v client launched, press "Ctrl+Alt+F1[3,4,5,6]" switch to p2v console mode. 3. Input the command: ifconfig # ifconfig eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.100.187 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.100.255 inet6 fe80::5054:ff:febb:c424 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether 52:54:00:bb:c4:24 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 863 bytes 50544 (49.3 KiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 40 bytes 6817 (6.6 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 65536 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x10<host> loop txqueuelen 1 (Local Loopback) RX packets 4 bytes 352 (352.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 4 bytes 352 (352.0 B) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 Since command ifconfig is added and it works well, move this bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED.
