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.

Description Andreas Karis 2017-04-17 13:49:01 UTC 
Description of problem:
Backport required - cloud-init fails with "Unknown network_data link type: dvs"

From
https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1674946

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"
When a config drive provides network_data.json on Openstack running on
ESXi cloud-init will fail to configure networking.

Console log and /var/log/cloud-init.log will show:
 ValueError: Unknown network_data link type: hyperv

This woudl also occur when the type of the network device as declared
to cloud-init was 'hw_veb', 'hyperv', or 'vhostuser'.

[Test Case]
Launch an instance with config drive on hyperv cloud.

[Regression Potential]
Low to none. cloud-init is relaxing requirements and will accept things
now that it previously complained were invalid.

This is very similar to change in bug 1642679.
Upstream Openstack Merge proposal to stop this from continually
happening at https://review.openstack.org/#/c/400883/
=== End SRU Template ===

When booting an OpenStack instance, cloud-init fails with:

Hi,

Can we do something to speed up the downstream merge and possibly get the customer a hotfix RPM?
