Description of problem: After finish with RHVH-4.0-20160817.1 installation, the nameserver and search entries in /etc/resolv.conf file won't exist. This would be noticed while trying to ping/resolve a FQDN and also while trying to register the RHVH through RHSM Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHVH-4.0-20160817.1-RHVH-x86_64-dvd1.iso from download access portal How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a new RHVH with GA ISO from portal 2. During installation, configure network and define a DNS and a search domain 3. Complete the installation and reboot 4. Check for /etc/resolv.conf content and/or try ping/resolve a URL/host Actual results: nameserver and search definitions in /etc/resolv.conf are missing after RHVH installation ~~~ [root@rhvh40-3 ~]# cat /etc/resolv.conf [root@rhvh40-3 ~]# dig www.redhat.com ; <<>> DiG 9.9.4-RedHat-9.9.4-29.el7_2.3 <<>> www.redhat.com ;; global options: +cmd ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached [root@rhvh40-3 ~]# ping www.redhat.com ping: unknown host www.redhat.com ~~~ Expected results: The entries should remain configured as defined during installation Additional note: Simply by adding them into /etc/resolv.conf fixes the problem Also, initially, before adding the host into RHVM and create the ovirtmgmt bridge, the ifcfg-eth0 file has the correct information ifcfg-eth0: =========== DEVICE="eth0" ONBOOT="yes" IPADDR="192.168.122.136" PREFIX="24" GATEWAY="192.168.122.1" DNS1="8.8.8.8" DOMAIN="redhat.com" ~~~ [root@rhvh40-3 ~]# echo "nameserver 192.168.122.1" > /etc/resolv.conf [root@rhvh40-3 ~]# echo "search example.com" >> /etc/resolv.conf [root@rhvh40-3 ~]# cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 192.168.122.1 search example.com [root@rhvh40-3 ~]# ping www.redhat.com PING e3396.dscx.akamaiedge.net (104.119.146.170) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from a104-119-146-170.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com (104.119.146.170): icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=306 ms 64 bytes from a104-119-146-170.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com (104.119.146.170): icmp_seq=2 ttl=55 time=330 ms --- e3396.dscx.akamaiedge.net ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1922ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 306.657/318.429/330.202/11.786 ms [root@rhvh40-3 ~]# dig www.redhat.com ; <<>> DiG 9.9.4-RedHat-9.9.4-29.el7_2.3 <<>> www.redhat.com ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 15796 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 4, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 4096 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;www.redhat.com.

This is one of several issues around networking - It's tracked in bug 1304509
given comment 3, I'm closing this as a dup of bug 1364126. Proper persistence of DNS entries is expected in 4.0.4 as part of bug 1351095. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1364126 ***
