log

Description of problem:
If fail_over_mac=active is set in a bond, you cannot change state of any other interface:
libnmstate.error.NmstateValueError: MAC address cannot be specified in bond interface along with fail_over_mac active on active backup mode
We should ignore its mac when a bond is as fail_over_mac=active

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nmstate-0.4.1-2.el8.noarch
nispor-0.6.1-2.el8.x86_64
NetworkManager-1.28.0-0.1.el8.x86_64
DISTRO=RHEL-8.4.0-20201103.d.0
Linux rdma05.rhts.eng.pek2.redhat.com 4.18.0-241.el8.dt1.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Nov 2 08:24:31 EST 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
echo "interfaces:
- name: bond1
  type: bond
  state: up
  link-aggregation:
    mode: active-backup
    options:
      fail_over_mac: active
" | nmstatectl set

nmstatectl show bond1

echo "interfaces:
- name: dummy1
  type: dummy
  state: up" | nmstatectl set


Actual results:
libnmstate.error.NmstateValueError: MAC address cannot be specified in bond interface along with fail_over_mac active on active backup mode

Expected results:
Success

Additional info:
A workaround is to edit bond1's state at the same time, remove 'mac' property of bond1

Hi Mingyu, can you try this again with the latest nmstate? Thank you!

Comment 9 Gris Ge 2021-06-04 08:09:15 UTC
With `fail_over_mac: active` in `active-backup` mode, you cannot define mac adress in desire state. This is the limitation of kernel and defination of `fail_over_mac`.

Nmstate is raise the expected exception NmstateValueError

Comment 17 Mingyu Shi 2021-06-20 03:06:09 UTC
