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.

Is this about reporting? Setting different configs is handled in bug 1756687, isn't it?

Yes. It's for network state querying.
Comment 5 Gris Ge 2020-11-18 10:23:04 UTC 
Hi Dan,

I have posted the patch to upstream for this feature.

You may try it via:

dnf copr enable packit/nmstate-nmstate-1420
dnf install nmstate


For running config: `nmstatectl show eth1 -r` or `libnmstate.show_running_config()`.
For saved config: `nmstatectl show eth1 -s` or `libnmstate.show_saved_config()`.

The running config is holding activated configuration.
The saved config is holding start-up configuration.
Comment 6 Dan Kenigsberg 2020-11-18 11:29:42 UTC 
Thanks. I'll have to ask @ellorent and @dholler to test usability of this in knmstate and vdsm, respectively.
Comment 7 Ales Musil 2020-12-01 11:29:31 UTC 
For RHV, the most useful would be to have running that really reflects state of the host. We have our own persistence so saved is not that useful for us.
Comment 8 Gris Ge 2020-12-01 11:59:22 UTC 
The reason to have saved config is nmstate support memory only profile, we need a way to detect the save(on-boot) config.

Comment 15 Mingyu Shi 2022-05-23 03:24:41 UTC 
The --saved-config is dropped in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1913544
Only --running-config is implemented.
