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.

Comment 2 Gris Ge 2020-07-28 08:59:53 UTC
Openstack is requesting this feature via nmstate bug 1756687

Comment 3 Fernando F. Mancera 2020-07-28 09:31:55 UTC
NetworkManager is currently supporting memory-only profile for OVS interfaces but after rebooting, ovsdb is keeping the information of the interface therefore, the interface is not being removed. From the point of view of an user, I expect that all the interfaces created using memory-only will be removed after rebooting.

Please, see the reproducer here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1756687#c25

Comment 6 Beniamino Galvani 2020-12-03 17:41:11 UTC
I have opened a merge request to delete leftover OVS interfaces created by NM at startup:
