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.

Description Mingyu Shi 2020-10-29 10:38:14 UTC
Description of problem:
When using ovs, an interface named 'ovs-system' will be generated automatically into sysfs. Now nmstate shows it if you run "nmstatectl show". In some scenarios it can cause a failure, such as using "nmstatectl edit" to change the configures, say change a bond ip, then :wq save and apply a global state, it will fail because of 'ovs-system' interface.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-1.28.0-0.1.el8.x86_64
nispor-0.6.1-2.el8.x86_64
nmstate-0.4.1-1.el8.noarch
DISTRO=RHEL-8.4.0-20201028.d.1
Linux hp-dl388g8-04.rhts.eng.pek2.redhat.com 4.18.0-240.8.el8.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Oct 25 16:56:23 EDT 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
echo "---
interfaces:
- name: ovs-br0
  type: ovs-bridge
  state: up
  bridge:
    port:
    - name: ovs0" | nmstatectl set
nmstatectl show ovs-system
nmstatectl show | nmstatectl set

Actual results:
Failed

Expected results:
No failure
