  • Trouble with RHN Provisioning/Kickstart

    Posted on

    Is there a correct way to handle multiple NICs in the RHN kickstart/provisioning?

     

    Under Kickstart > Profiles > Kickstart Details > Advanced Options

    I have my network stuff for setting a static IP on eth0, but when I tried to provision the system, during the kickstart it asked for the network details.  I think this is because the system has two NICs, eth0 and eth1.

     

    Kickstart network line that it was provisioned with:

    network --onboot yes --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip 192.168.1.2 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 192.168.1.1 --nameserver 192.168.1.1 --hostname hostname.domainname

     

    After having to specify the network settings during boot, the resulting anaconda-ks.cfg file has two lines:

    network --onboot yes --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip 192.168.1.2 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 192.168.1.1 --nameserver 192.168.1.1 --hostname hostname.domainname

    network --onboot no --device eth1 --noipv4 --noipv6 --hostname hostname.domainname

     

    How do I resolve this so it doesn't prompt for the network info and works with the line it is given?

     

    network --onboot yes --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip 160.129.39.199 --netmask 255.255.255.224 --gateway 160.129.39.193 --nameserver 160.129.6.22 --hostname queso.mc.vanderbilt.edu
    network --onboot no --device eth1 --noipv4 --noipv6 --hostname queso.mc.vanderbilt.edu

     

    network --onboot yes --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip 160.129.39.199 --netmask 255.255.255.224 --gateway 160.129.39.193 --nameserver 160.129.6.22 --hostname queso.mc.vanderbilt.edu
    network --onboot no --device eth1 --noipv4 --noipv6 --hostname queso.mc.vanderbilt.edu
