Attempting to use the Arbitary NIC naming feature to rename interfaces
durign a koan install as outlined at
https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/AdvancedNetworking and noticed
that it does not work.
Looks like the snippet is relying on the interface to be in
/etc/modprobe.conf
# Start configuration for vnet2
IFNAME=$(ifconfig -a | grep -i '00:16:3E:04:14:96' | cut -d ' ' -f 1)
if [ -f "/etc/modprobe.conf" ]; then
grep $IFNAME /etc/modprobe.conf | sed "s/$IFNAME/vnet2/" >>
/etc/modprobe.conf.cobbler
grep -v $IFNAME /etc/modprobe.conf >> /etc/modprobe.conf.new
rm -f /etc/modprobe.conf
mv /etc/modprobe.conf.new /etc/modprobe.conf
fi
The koan'ed vm system does not have any entries for interfaces in the
/etc/mobprobe.conf file:
more /etc/modprobe.conf
alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off
Not sure this is a valid way of renaming the device in a udev environment. To rename the device I had to modify
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and change the NAME= variable corresponding to the MAC and reboot.
