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 David Wood 2017-09-11 13:14:20 UTC 
Description of problem:
RHEL 7 sap-hana and sap-hana-vmware tuned profiles using eth0

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 7 sap-hana and sap-hana-vmware tuned profiles

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Looking at script.sh for the profiles


Actual results:
start() {
        ethtool -K eth0 lro off
        return 0
}
stop() {
        ethtool -K eth0 lro on
        return 0
}

Expected results:
Instead of eth0 should be RHEL 7 NIC name

There is now sap-hana-vmware-variables.conf file with the variable 'sap_hana_vmware_nic', just set it to the client NIC (or NICs) if you want the tuning, e.g. for eth0:

sap_hana_vmware_nic=eth0

Or for eth0, eth1:

sap_hana_vmware_nic=eth0, eth1

Or for anything with the eth prefix:

sap_hana_vmware_nic=eth*

Or for anything else than eth1:

sap_hana_vmware_nic=!eth1

I.e. anything the Tuned syntax supports can be used.

Comment 13 Tereza Cerna 2018-01-18 11:19:16 UTC 
These variants of sap-hana-vmware-variables.conf were tested:
  sap_hana_vmware_nic=!*
  sap_hana_vmware_nic=*
  sap_hana_vmware_nic=eno1, eno2
  sap_hana_vmware_nic=eno2
  sap_hana_vmware_nic=eno1, !eno2
  sap_hana_vmware_nic=!eno1
Comment 14 Frank Danapfel 2018-01-18 12:57:59 UTC 
Tereza, thanks for the verification and for clarifying how to correctly configure the sap-hana-vmware-variables.conf. I wasn't aware that the file is actually located in /etc/tuned/.

This should be documented in a kbase or something so that we can reference it in the SAP documentation.
