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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2015:2183 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE libguestfs bug fix and enhancement update 2015-11-19 08:18:42 UTC

Description joherr 2012-09-06 15:23:13 UTC 
Is it possible to display more information about the network devices such as which devices are bonded together or part of a bridge.

This would allow the user to more easily select the interfaces for conversion.
Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2012-12-14 08:18:49 UTC 
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
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 4 Richard W.M. Jones 2015-05-14 13:05:00 UTC 
Created attachment 1025393 [details]
New "Network interfaces" dialog

I don't believe it's possible to display information about bonding
because that would require knowledge from the operating system that
is being converted, which virt-p2v does not have access to.

However, I can display more useful information about the network
interface, including the MAC address and the Vendor, which should
make identifying them a bit easier.

I have modified the Network interface dialog to display this extra
information, and the result is shown in the attached screenshot.
