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.

Fixed In Version: NetworkManager-1.43.11-1.el9
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
.NetworkManager notifies when using the deprecated `ifcfg` format Connection profiles in `ifcfg` format are deprecated in RHEL 9 (see xref:BZ-1894877[]). With this update, NetworkManager notifies users about the deprecation of this format: * NetworkManager logs the following warning to the `systemd` journal if it processes a connection profile in `ifcfg` format in the `/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/` directory: + ---- Warning: the ifcfg-rh plugin is deprecated, please migrate connections to the keyfile format using "nmcli connection migrate" ---- * The `nmcli` utility reports the following error if you try to modify a property that is not supported in `ifcfg` format: + ---- Error: Failed to modify connection '<name>': failed to update connection: The ifcfg-rh plugin doesn't support setting '<property>'. If you are modifying an existing connection profile saved in ifcfg-rh format, please migrate the connection to keyfile using 'nmcli connection migrate <connection_uuid>' or via the Update2() D-Bus API and try again. ---- As a result of these enhancements, NetworkManager now notifies users if they still use or modify connection profiles in the deprecated `ifcfg` format. For further details about migrating profiles from `ifcfg` to keyfile format, see link:https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html/configuring_and_managing_networking/assembly_networkmanager-connection-profiles-in-keyfile-format_configuring-and-managing-networking#proc_migrating-networkmanager-profiles-from-ifcfg-to-keyfile-format_assembly_networkmanager-connection-profiles-in-keyfile-format[Migrating NetworkManager profiles from ifcfg to keyfile format].
