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.

Fixed In Version: libguestfs-1.36.2-2.el7
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Feature: remove also DHCP_HOSTNAME keys from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* files Reason: DHCP_HOSTNAME in those files may contain another reference to the hostname of the guest, and thus needs to be removed when cleaning up a guest with virt-sysprep Result: the net-hostname operation of virt-sysprep removes also the DHCP_HOSTNAME keys in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* files, in addition to the HOSTNAME keys

Description Marko Myllynen 2017-02-28 14:07:15 UTC 
Description of problem:
In some cases there's DHCP_HOSTNAME set in ifcfg-* files, virt-sysprep should probably remove that. For reference, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1414332.

Upstream in libguestfs 1.37.1:
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/0f99537cb69c88f7ceb6c69a9d9ae10baaaa3623

Yup, it missed 1.36 by a whisker.
Comment 4 Richard W.M. Jones 2017-03-08 14:35:44 UTC 
Reopening so we can track inclusion of the fix in RHEL 7.4.
Comment 5 Richard W.M. Jones 2017-03-08 14:37:45 UTC 
xchen - can you QA ack this one please?
Comment 7 Xianghua Chen 2017-03-24 06:43:16 UTC 
Verified with package:
libguestfs-1.36.2-3.el7.x86_64

Steps:
1. Prepare an RHEL7 guest image, create a back file for it:
# qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o backing_file=RHEL-Server-7.3-64-hvm.raw,backing_fmt=raw tmp.qcow2
2. Add HOSTNAME & DHCP_HOSTNAME to the ifcfg file as following:
# virt-edit -a tmp.qcow2 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
... ...
HOSTNAME=my_hostname
DHCP_HOSTNAME=my_dhcp_hostname
3. 
#  virt-sysprep --operations net-hostname  -a tmp.qcow2
[   0.0] Examining the guest ...
[   3.0] Performing "net-hostname" ...
# virt-cat -a tmp.qcow2 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
# Generated by parse-kickstart
DEVICE="eth0"
IPV6INIT="yes"
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
UUID="5b751b21-2987-4284-b260-8fbeee6f23a1"
ONBOOT="yes"
# Generated by parse-kickstart
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes


The HOSTNAME & DHCP_HOSTNAME lines have been deleted.
So verified.
