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.

.Teaming in the rescue system works correctly again Updates provided by the advisory RHBA-2019:0498 fixed several problems in ReaR, affecting complex network configurations. However, in case of teaming, this update introduced another problem. If the team had multiple member interfaces, the team device was not configured correctly in the rescue system. As a consequence, after applying an update provided by RHBA-2019:0498, a work around was needed to preserve the previous behavior. This update fixes the bug in ReaR, and teaming in the rescue system now works correctly.

Description Pavel Cahyna 2019-03-04 14:17:24 UTC 
This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1653214

I am copying this bug because: 
the inital bug was for bond, but the same issue exists for team, and is not fixed by the patch.

Description of problem:

See https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/2065 and https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1954/commits/a8d52b7caef3dd4ec8645f36631f5770427bf6dc#r261993600.

When a physical device is enslaved in a team, its MAC address is modified to the first network interface's MAC address of the team. This makes /etc/mac-addresses record an invalid information, e.g.:

/tmp/rear.7Qce2ppNowoFkvF/rootfs/etc/mac-addresses
Broken:
em3 24:6e:96:c4:3d:d4
em1 24:6e:96:c4:3d:d0
em2 24:6e:96:c4:3d:d0

Expected:
em3 24:6e:96:c4:3d:d4
em1 24:6e:96:c4:3d:d2
em2 24:6e:96:c4:3d:d0

This leads to teamd being invoked with incorrect parameters from /etc/scripts/system-setup.d/60-network-devices.sh:

teamd -d -c '{"device": "int-team", "ports": {"em1": {"link_watch": {"name": "ethtool"}}, "em1": {"link_watch": {"name": "ethtool"}}}, "runner": {"name": "lacp", "tx_hash": ["eth", "ipv4", "ipv6"]}}'
which fails with
Failed to parse config: duplicate object key near '"em1"' on line 1, column 82
Failed to load config.

see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1664304#c3 for details.

(the script is being modified by a sed command which changes the names of interfaces according to /etc/mac-addresses to compensate for missing interface renaming.)

The same issue existed for bonding. While the bonding issue was fixed, the teaming one requires a different fix.

Since SIMPLIFY_TEAMING=no is the default as the result of applying the fix of bz1639705, this leads to a regression, since the configuration which can work with the old code (equivalent to SIMPLIFY_TEAMING=yes) are now broken. (Those configurations can be characterized as: no LACP and teaming with more than one team member.)

The regression can be fixed simply by changing the default to SIMPLIFY_TEAMING=yes, but  for a complete fix one needs to apply PR#2065.
