Fixed In Version: openstack-tripleo-image-elements-10.4.2-0.20190912000426.1ebd7af.el8ost
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, the default NIC naming changed to use non-persistent node names such as `ethXX` instead of consistent names like `enoX`, `ensXfY`, `ensX`. As a result, the NIC names present in the introspection data did not match the overcloud NIC names. With this update, the setting `net.ifnames=0` has been removed from grub-config in the overcloud image and the introspection data contains consistent NIC names.

Description Jaison Raju 2019-10-08 07:10:48 UTC
Description of problem:
Overcloud nodes, once deployed comes up with ethX name for all types of intel interfaces. These are usually referred to as 'non-persistent nic names' : https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/networking_guide/sec-disabling_consistent_network_device_naming

Although introspection data gives consistent nic names like enoX , ensXfY , ensX etc.
The older versions of RHOS had consistent names in the overcloud.

This difference is due to the 'net.ifnames=0' in grub config.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHOS15 GA

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:
All intel nics are named as ethX names, confusing the user as the introspection data gives different names. Using consistent names would end in deployment / os-net-config failure.

Expected results:
NIC Names seen introspection data should be same as the nic names created by kernel while deployment.
The previous behavior of having enoX , ensX is preferred rather than all nic named as ethX.

Additional info:
I prefer this fix to be in the director image by removing 'net.ifnames=0' in grub config.

Good find Harald.  This fix has been merged to OSP-15 - https://review.opendev.org/#/c/679169.  It will be in the OSP-15z2 release.

Including DF.

Comment 6 Sai Sindhur Malleni 2019-10-22 10:16:25 UTC
Seeing similar issue in OSP 16

Comment 7 Christopher Brown 2019-11-07 11:32:01 UTC
What concerns me about this is that we will have GA images with one type of nic convention then updated ones with another.
