Last modified: 2015-01-25 17:19:21 EST
Description of problem: The kickstart snippet post_install_network_config creates deprecated modprobe.conf on RHEL6 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cobbler-2.0.7-21.el6sat.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create kickstart profile 2. Add a post install script 3. Add $SNIPPET('post_install_network_config') 4. kickstart a machine using this profile Actual results: Restarting iptables after the systems is kicstarted: [root@hostname ~]# service iptables restart iptables: Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ] iptables: Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter [ OK ] iptables: Unloading modules: [ OK ] iptables: Applying firewall rules: WARNING: Deprecated config file /etc/modprobe.conf, all config files belong into /etc/modprobe.d/. [ OK ] Expected results: Distinct between RHEL versions and create the proper config file: RHEL5: /etc/modprobe.conf RHEL6: /etc/modprobe.d/<name>.conf to avoid warnings about the deprecated use of modprobe.conf in RHEL6. Additional info: Although modprobe.conf is still supported, it is depecated. Upsteam cobbler does not make a difference between RHEL versions as well: <https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/blob/master/snippets/post_install_network_config>
Created attachment 822886 [details] cobbler-modprobe-d.patch Don't create deprecated modprobe.conf on RHEL6+
Patch committed to SAETLLITE-5.7 as commit aa14047f59d01caa2fea520df4cc7ecb0d184c1e 979966 - support modprobe.d on RHEL6
VERIFIED. cobbler-2.0.7-48.el6sat.noarch To hit the creation of modprobe files we need to use provisioning with set-up bonding. Bonding canbe be set up only for novirt ks profiles. We need to provision either physical machine or flex guest using novirt ks profile. 1) @webui: navifgate to Provisioning - Kickstart - Schedule - Advanced Kickstart Configuration (o) Create a bonded network interface after installation, use DHCP Configure bond Name: bond0, Interfaces: select "eth0" , Options: mode=1 2) @client: # rhn_check -vv # shutdown -c # reboot 3) @client: after a machine was provisioned check created files FIX: # cat /etc/modprobe.d/post_install_network_config.conf options bonding max_bonds=1 alias bond0 bonding vs. REPRO: # cat /etc/modprobe.conf ... options bonding max_bonds=1 alias bond0 bonding
