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.

Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Prior to this update, Abstract Machine Test Utility (AMTU) ran network tests on interfaces configured with a static IP that did not have an existing connection, causing those tests to fail. With this update, AMTU no longer runs tests on interfaces that are not up.

Description Jeff Burke 2011-07-18 20:32:54 UTC 
Description of problem:
 While running the AMTU test on a system that has static interfaces the test is failing.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
amtu-1.0.8-8.el6.i686

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a RHEL6 system
2. Configure an interface with a static IP but leave it unplugged.
3. Run amtu -dn, It will fail.
  
Actual results:

 According the the AMTU help. 

  * I/O Controller - Network
      Verifies  random data transmitted is also the data received for each configured network device.  Checks only Ethernet and token ring devices that are configured and up.  Does not check async devices.

AMTU should be checking if the interface is up before running the test.

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 9 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 23:04:15 UTC 
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
Comment 11 Jeff Burke 2013-02-06 13:50:58 UTC 
Steve,
 We stopped using the network portion of AMTU a while back since it would fail. 

***** Starting the runtest.sh script *****
***** Current Running Kernel Package = kernel-2.6.32-358.el6.i686 *****
***** Current Running AMTU Package = amtu-1.0.8-8.el6.i686 *****
***** Current Running Distro = Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.4 Beta (Santiago) *****
skip network part: Bug 689823, 723049
***** End of runtest.sh *****

 Any chance you will fix this for 6.5? 

Regards,
Jeff
Comment 17 Paul Moore 2013-12-06 22:43:42 UTC 
Using the patch posted in BZ #689823, it would appear that this problem is fixed, and based on my limited testing it appears to sense the carrier correctly and avoid downed interfaces.

This patch provided in BZ #689823 is also present in recent Rawhide releases of AMTU.
