Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Network Manager resets the net.ipv4.ip_forward parameter Consequence: OpenShift loses certain functionality. Fix: The installer sets the sysctl parameter on the system level now. Result: Network manager restarts no longer interfere with the installation process.

Description Scott Dodson 2016-09-01 14:50:33 UTC
Apparently the node sets net.ipv4.ip_forward but if the network were restarted then things go sideways. We should set this during installation in a way that's persisted across service restarts and other events.

Comment 3 Gaoyun Pei 2016-09-20 03:19:40 UTC
Test this issue with openshift-ansible-3.3.24-1 tag, it's working as expected.

Setup an ose-3.3 env, after installation, check the current IP forwarding status on node:
[root@openshift-156 ~]# sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
[root@openshift-156 ~]# grep net.ipv4.ip_forward /etc/sysctl.conf
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

Restart network service and check again:
[root@openshift-156 ~]# systemctl restart network
[root@openshift-156 ~]# sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

Will move bug to verified once openshift-ansible-3.3.24-1 rpm package was included in errata puddle.

Comment 4 Gaoyun Pei 2016-09-21 07:55:45 UTC
Verify this bug with openshift-ansible-3.3.25-1.git.0.56ee824.el7.noarch.rpm

After installation, net.ipv4.ip_forward setting is persisted on nodes.
