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 Radek Vykydal 2017-04-24 13:36:19 UTC 
Description of problem:

If a device activated in initramfs is reconfigured via kickstart without being activated in installer (based on network --activate / --on-activate options), the connection exposed in GUI is not the one corresponding to persistent (ifcfg / target system) configuration but a connection created for initramfs device config.
If it is changed in UI, it is saved as another persistent configuration ifcfg-<NIC>-1, eg ifcfg-ens3-1.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 7.3 GA
RHEL-7.4-20170421.n.1

How reproducible:

Alway, but depends on order of connections for a device returned by NM which is may not be determininstic.


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run installation requiring network in initramfs (eg pxe installation) with ip=ens3:dhcp (or no ip= specified which defaults to dhcp)

Kickstart file contains reconfiguration of the device without activation in installer:

network --device=ens3 --bootproto=static --ip=10.34.102.233 --gateway=10.34.102.254 --netmask=255.255.255.0 --activate --nameserver=10.34.39.2 --no-activate


2a. GUI: Edit ens3 device ipv4 network configuration in network spoke - dhcp is preset (because we are not editing the ifcfg connection, but in-memory NM connection).

2b. TUI: Edit ens3 connection, values for the ifcfg connection (static ipv4 config) are displayed.

3. Modify and save the configuration.

Actual results:

For both GUI and TUI, additional ifcfg-ens3-1 ifcfg file is created for the configuration modified in UI, instead of changing ifcfg-ens3 which is keeping the kickstart configuration.

Expected results:

In GUI, ifcfg connection is displayed.
Both in GUI and TUI, the persistent connetion (ifcfg-ens3) is updated with values configured from UI.

Additional info:

A kickstart test failing due to the same root cause:
