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.

Description Raul Leite 2012-11-21 23:24:21 UTC 
Description of problem:
Error on "virt-manager" when create bonding interfaces by interface(API)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:

When sysadmin tries to create a bond interface by API of (virt-manager), they put a wrongs single quotes inside of configuration file on "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<bond_name>", and if you check /proc/net/bonding/<bond_name> status they don't show a correct mode selected by sysadmin, As show bellow :

Wrong
BONDING_OPTS="'mode=active-backup'" 

Should be
BONDING_OPTS="mode=active-backup" 

Wihout '' (single quotes).


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setting up a bond interface by virt-manager API
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Error on configuration /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<bond_name>


Expected results:


Additional info:
Comment 2 Raul Leite 2012-11-21 23:52:34 UTC 
virt-manager version is "virt-manager-0.9.0-14.el6.x86_64" 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.3 (Santiago)
Comment 3 Raul Leite 2012-11-21 23:54:17 UTC 
*** Bug 879054 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 4 Dave Allan 2012-11-26 14:16:26 UTC 
1. Setting up a bond interface by virt-manager API

Can you provide some more details on what you're doing?
Comment 6 Raul Leite 2012-12-05 20:27:48 UTC 
Hi, I meant, GUI not API, it was my mistake, sorry about that. 

I have used these steps : 
Open virt-manager >> Virtual Networks >> Add >> Bonding Interfaces 'option'

virt-manager-0.9.0-14.el6.x86_64
Comment 8 Martin Kletzander 2013-03-14 14:02:02 UTC 
Can you reproduce that with 'virt-manager --debug' and attach the output?  This might go as down as netcf.
Comment 9 CongDong 2013-04-07 05:28:38 UTC 
Created attachment 732264 [details]
log file with virt-manager --debug

I can reproduce this bug on RHEL6.4, and add the log file "virt-manager.log" with virt-manager --debug to attachment.
Comment 10 Martin Kletzander 2013-05-09 12:39:52 UTC 
This looks like the same problem as bug #921621, So I'm reassigning to netcf.
Comment 13 tingting zheng 2014-05-08 09:17:15 UTC 
I can still reproduce this issue with:
netcf-libs-0.1.9-4.el6_5.2.x86_64
virt-manager-0.9.0-21.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.10.2-34.el6.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
 1. # service NetworkManager stop
 2. #virt-manager --debug -> Edit -> Connection details -> Network Interface -> "+"(Add) -> "Interface type"-> "Bond" -> Forward
 3. Configure the bond like this:
    Start mode: hotplug
    Active now:  check on
    IP setting: IPv4: DHCP
     Choose interfaces to bond:  eth0.
   Click "Finish"
 4. An error will popup like this:
 Error creating interface: 'Could not create interface: internal error failed to create (start) interface bond0: failed to execute external program -     Running 'ifup bond0' failed with exit code 1: ./network-functions: line 457: /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/'mode: No such file or directory

 ./network-functions: line 457: /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/'mode: No such file or directory

'

5.When I choose start mode "none" then I can create bond interface successfully,when I try to destroy the interface,error will show from virt-manager GUI:
XML error: bond interface misses the bond element
Comment 14 Laine Stump 2014-05-14 09:14:52 UTC 
This is fixed upstream in the following commit:

commit 581ff3f252552cf5edc8e47c4a72667a39e133ba
Author: Satoru SATOH <ssato>
Date:   Wed Jul 3 13:17:27 2013 -0400

    remove extraneous quotes from BONDING_OPTS
    
    This fixes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=798851
    
    For some unknown reason, the BONDING_OPTS setting in ifcfg files was
    being set with an extra set of single quotes. So, for example, instead of:
    
      BONDING_OPTS="mode=active-backup primary=eth1 miimon=100 updelay=10 use_carrier=0"
    
    we would get (e.g.):
    
      BONDING_OPTS="'mode=active-backup primary=eth1 miimon=100 updelay=10 use_carrier=0'"
    
    Even when there weren't any BONDING_OPTS to set, the ifcfg file would
    still get:
    
      BONDING_OPTS="''"
    
    Since the extra quotes are added in all cases, and are never needed,
    this patch just unconditionally removes them.

kernel-2.6.32-459.el6.x86_64
virt-manager-0.9.0-21.el6.x86_64

1. Using virsh command
[root@intel-3323-24-1 ~]# cat bond1_none.xml 
<interface type='bond' name='bond1'>
<start mode='none'/>
<protocol family='ipv4'>

DEVICE=bond0
ONBOOT=no
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
BONDING_OPTS="mode=active-backup primary=eth0 miimon=100 updelay=10 use_carrier=0"


2. Verify it using virt-manager, follow comment 13's reproducible steps.
