With the patch, anaconda should be able to fetch repositories via one NIC while accessing iSCSI via different NIC (#638131). These things were needed: 1) Activate more than one device in loader using ks -> changes in loader and --activate option is added to kickstart network command so that former behaviour (only configuring additional devices from ks) is preserved. 2) Support for network --bootproto ibft is added into loader. (in scope of the bug still writing out values which we read from ibft in anaconda into ifcfg files, see 4)). In stage 2 ks - where only device configuration (not activation) can happen in case the device was not activated with --activate option in loader - the option would be supported automatically when we start to write out BOOTPROTO=ibft in loader (see 4) below) 3) way to prevent device activated using ks to grab default route -> --nodefroute option is added (setting DEFROUTE=no in ifcfg file) 4) Use BOOTROOTO=ibft in ifcfg files (#634016), write out ip=ibft for dracut. This requires one NM fix: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=665027 This anaconda/kickstart part assumes that: - BOOTPROTO=ibft works fine in NM: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=479824. It did in my tests in installer environment, except for the issue mentioned in 4). I was not able to test post install behavior as I couldn't get over dracut. - ip=ibft works in dracut: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=640979 My tests with rhel6 nightly of Dec 20 didn't work. I'll investigate why. _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
