Rename Network Interface

utoddl · September 22, 2023, 7:57pm

This is untested, but maybe instead of:

ATTR{address}=="{{ ansible_facts[item]['perm_macaddress'] | default(ansible_facts[item]['macaddress']) }}",

what about something like this:

ATTR{address}=="{{ ansible_facts[item]['perm_macaddress']
                   | default(ansible_facts[item]['macaddress']
                             | default(ansible_facts[item | regex_replace('^(.*)_\d+$', '\1')]['macaddress']
                                      )
                            )
                }}",

or another way to spell it, also untested:

ATTR{address}=="{{ ansible_facts[item]['perm_macaddress']
                   | default(ansible_facts[item
                                           if ansible_facts[item]['macaddress'] is defined
                                           else item | regex_replace('^(.*)_\d+$', '\1')
                                          ]['macaddress']
                            )
                }}",

I don’t like to post untested code, but I think one can work out the details of what I’m trying to do.

Nowadays those file has been created to first interface eth0 >> eno0 It means udev rules is created but got a looping when try secondary interface… drop udev and don’t work on ifcfg file… I’ll be happy just if I can just bring down secondary interfaces (some hosts I have more than one ) or just ignore…
Is these ATTR line just related rules right ? I guess feasible to work with (with_items or add something with (with_list) ?

Hi Todd

Looks like first option will work… not sure secondary …

mmm first option messed up interface 1 after reboot eth0 >> eno0_1

Lemme test option 2

bspigari · September 22, 2023, 9:08pm

No luck option 2 doesn’t work at all… it is creating eno0 and eno0_1 into udev with same mac addr… but its faling on ifcfg-eno0 and ifcfg-eno0_1 that creating one device as eno0_1 and no secondary…

I guess the best way would be to ignore or bring down secondary interface…

utoddl · September 22, 2023, 9:29pm

I’ve been reading up on device names vs interface names. (It’s a RHEL-8 doc, but similar enough at the higher levels I think.) We may be mixing up things. I think there’s only one device named initially eth0 but renamed via udev to eno0, and it has a MAC address. But there are two interfaces as described/defined in ifcfg-eno0 and ifcfg_eno0_1, both of which map to a single device.

I’d suggest dropping the udev rule for eno0_1 because it’s bogus. Use udev to define device eno0, and use ifcfg-* files to create the two interfaces, both of which are on the eno0 device.

utoddl · September 22, 2023, 9:35pm

If that’s right, then add a when: on your “Update udev rules” task:

when: ansible_facts[item]['macaddress'] is defined

You don’t want/need the ipv4_secondaries for the udev rules, but you will need them for the ifcfg-* interface definitions.

You’re a rock star ! Its work to me

- name: Update udev rules
      tags:
        - udev
      when: ansible_facts[item]['macaddress'] is defined  
      lineinfile:
        line: >
          SUBSYSTEM=="net",
          ACTION=="add",
          DRIVERS=="?*",
          ATTR{address}=="{{ ansible_facts[item]['perm_macaddress'] | default(ansible_facts[item]['macaddress']) }}",
          NAME="{{ item | replace(src_prefix, dst_prefix) }}"
        path: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-rhosp-persistent-net.rules
        create: true
      with_items: "{{ src_interfaces | reject('match', '^.*\\..*$') | list }}"```

- name: Update udev rules
      tags:
        - udev
      when: ansible_facts[item]['macaddress'] is defined  
      lineinfile:
        line: >
          SUBSYSTEM=="net",
          ACTION=="add",

          ATTR{address}=="{{ ansible_facts[item]['perm_macaddress'] | default(ansible_facts[item]['macaddress']) }}",

        create: true
      with_items: "{{ src_interfaces | reject('match', '^.*\\..*$') | list }}"`

I just need to fix secondary IP after migration but ok :slight_smile:

Since it was @utoddl who got you on the right path, I’ve moved the Solution to his post. Solutions are a big part of how we recognise contributions in the Get Help category, so this seems right here.
