Hi List,

I have two nodes (running CentOS 7) and the network interface order changed for some interfaces after every reboot.

The configurations are done through the oVirt GUI. So the ifcfg-ethX scripts are configured automatically by VDSM.

Is there any option to get this configured to be stable?

Best regards and thank you

Christoph

Hi Christoph,

VDSM indeed edits and takes ownership of the interfaces for the networks it manages.

However, editing the ifcfg files should not change anything in the order of the devices, unless it was originally set
in an unsupported fashion. An ifcfg file is bound to a specific device name and I'm not familiar to device names

floating around randomly.

Perhaps you should elaborate more on what it means by 'order changed'.

Here is an example of a setup we do not support (pre adding the host to Engine):
The initial ifcfg file name: ifcfg-eth0

The initial ifcfg file content: DEVICE="eth1"

In this configuration, the name of the ifcfg file is inconsistent with the name of the device it represents.

VDSM expects them to me in sync.

Please provide the ifcfg files before and after you add the host to Engine.

Thanks,

Edy.
