Description of problem: When a host has two interfaces on the same IPv4 subnet, and a RHCS managed IP is configured on the same subnet, the RHCS IP is added to the first interface returned by the "ip" tool. However, I don't want it to use this interface. This is an issue because I have two interfaces in the same IPv4 network - one is a resilient bond which I want to use to provide the service, the other is for management access for operations staff. RHCS is choosing the non-bonded interface. I'd like the ability to configure which interface should be used. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rgmanager-2.0.52-21.el5 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure host with 2 interfaces on the same IPv4 network 2. Configure RHCS on this host with IP on the same network 3. Start RHCS Actual results: RHCS IP is on the "wrong" interface. Expected results: To be able to configure RHCS to use the other interface. Additional info: Unfortunately, because of non-technical reasons, I can't place the two interfaces on different networks - so the current ip.sh behaviour is a problem for me.
