Description checheng 2020-07-16 05:55:22 UTC
Description of problem:
Add the vlan setting parameter of dracut on RHCOS. But it doesn't work.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
OCP 4.3.z

How reproducible:
The bond will fail when add the VLAN setting parameter of dracut on RHCOS.
But the bond will work if remove vlan setting. Or bond the eth and bond1 by manual operation.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add bond1 info to dracut. Bond the vlan with bond1
----
~~~~~~ OMIT CODE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
bond=bond1:ens224,ens193:mode=active-backup,miimon=100:9000
vlan=eth0.3000:bond1
~~~~~~ OMIT CODE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
----
2.

~~~~~~ OMIT CODE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4: ens193: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:50:56:80:6d:37 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet6 fe80::7f1a:a21e:4ec5:31f1/64 scope link noprefixroute

5: ens224: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:50:56:80:e1:ba brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet6 fe80::8963:8da2:12c6:dcf9/64 scope link noprefixroute 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
~~~~~~ OMIT CODE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
----

Actual results:
The setting doesn't work. And this setting similar lead ensxxx and bond1 bonding to fail.

Expected results:
vlan parameter is able to be working on RHCOS.

Additional info:
Get more information from the No.02695306 ticket.

Comment 1 Micah Abbott 2020-07-16 14:06:56 UTC
This may be a limitation in RHCOS 4.3 about which parameters from dracut are being passed to the real root after install.  RHCOS will have better support for complex networking configurations in the 4.6 release.

First time hearing of a problem like this; setting to medium priority and targeting for 4.6

Comment 2 checheng 2020-07-17 02:02:15 UTC
Thank you for responsing.

I understand the station of RHCOS network setting is still evolution.
Looking forward OCP 4.6 can solve VLAN setting problem.

Best regards.

This bug has not been selected for work in the current sprint.

Comment 4 Dusty Mabe 2020-08-12 20:31:52 UTC
Hi checheng,

I believe this behavior is ultimately caused by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1865738, which is an issue with a dracut module writing out an incomplete network configuration based on the kernel cmdline dracut networking arguments. In 4.6 we are moving to using NetworkManager in the initrd, which does not have the same issue. If you have access to the latest 4.6 builds it would be valuable if you could test our the same network configuration to confirm that the problem is solved.

Thanks!
Dusty

Comment 8 Dusty Mabe 2020-08-19 20:42:35 UTC
This bug should be fixed with the move to NetworkManager for networking in the initramfs in 4.6. At least it works in my local tests.

Moving to MODIFIED.

Comment 13 Renata Ravanelli 2020-09-25 15:07:15 UTC
I have checked it for 4.3, 4.5 and 4.6.
All tests were done in libvirt as following:


For 4.3 and 4.5 I saw the same behavior: The bond is not working when the vlan arg is added.

For 4.6 the vlan and the bond are working as expected.
