Include biosdevname support in RHEV-Hypervisor ISO
Last modified: 2016-04-26 09:25:35 EDT
1. Feature Overview: a) Name of feature: Include biosdevname support in RHEV-Hypervisor ISO b) Feature Description: RHEL 6.1 and later ship with biosdevname support for consistent naming of ethernet devices. We would like the same functionality on RHEV-Hypervisor which as of version 3.0 ships without biosdevname. Upstream acceptance information: ovirt-node-2.2.0 and new naming on Dell PowerEdge servers were found to be working by adding the biosdevname package to common-pkgs in the recipe. e) External links: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ConsistentNetworkDeviceNaming http://linux.dell.com/files/whitepaper/consistent_network_device_naming_in_linux.pdf
Quick check of "eth" name dependencies in ovirt-2.3.0 reveals these hard coded eth names. 1. collectd.conf.in: Interface "eth0" 2. ovirt-config-boot: netroot=iscsi:$OVIRT_ISCSI_TARGET_IP::$OVIRT_ISCSI_TARGET_PORT::$OVIRT_ISCSI_NODE_NAME ip=eth0:dhcp" 3. network.py: brctl_cmd = "brctl show|grep breth|awk '{print $1}'" ovirt-config-networking: for i in `brctl show | grep breth | awk '{print $1}'` 4. ovirt-init-functions.sh: DEVICE=eth0 ovirt-init-functions.sh: eth*) ovirt-init-functions.sh: for eth in $(cd /sys/class/net; echo eth*); do ovirt-init-functions.sh: bootif=$(grep -il $(echo $i|sed 's/-/:/g') /sys/class/net/eth*/address|rev|cut -d/ -f2|rev)
