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 Reid Wahl 2020-11-09 07:11:47 UTC
Description of problem:

The aws-vpc-move-ip resource agent's normal start operation throws errors that may lead users to think there was a problem.

    stderr: RTNETLINK answers: Cannot assign requested address
    stderr: Nov 09 02:38:24 WARNING: command failed, rc 2

These errors come from the ec2ip_drop() function. The start function calls ec2ip_get_and_configure(), which in turn calls ec2ip_drop() to delete the IP address immediately before adding it again. The errors shown above are thrown when the ec2ip_drop() runs `ip addr delete` against the managed IP address, which is not yet assigned.

~~~
ec2ip_drop() {
        cmd="ip addr delete ${OCF_RESKEY_ip}/32 dev $OCF_RESKEY_interface"
        ocf_log debug "executing command: $cmd"
        $cmd
        rc=$?
        if [ "$rc" -gt 0 ]; then
                ocf_log warn "command failed, rc $rc"
                return $OCF_ERR_GENERIC
        fi
~~~

Under normal circumstances, this command will always fail during the start operation.

We have three valid options here:
  1) Print the stdout and stderr from `ip addr delete` at only a debug level for the start operation.
  2) Do not print the stdout and stderr from the ec2ip_drop() function at all for the start operation.
  3) Remove the ec2ip_drop() call from the ec2ip_get_and_configure() function.
     - The ec2ip_get_and_configure() function should only be called when the IP address is **not** already assigned and up.
     - The ec2ip_get_and_configure() function calls ec2ip_drop() to delete the IP address and then immediately re-adds it.

I favor option #1 just in case of unforeseen edge cases.
