Topic
Updated biosdevname packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available.
Description
The biosdevname packages contain an optional convention for naming network
interfaces, which assigns names to network interfaces based on their physical
location. The biosdevname utility is disabled by default, except for a limited
set of Dell PowerEdge, C Series, and Precision Workstation systems.
The biosdevname packages have been upgraded to upstream version 0.6.2, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. Notably, it provides the dev_port attribute for a new Mellanox driver and allowing naming of FCoE devices to be ignored. (BZ#1182849)
This update also fixes the following bug:
- Prior to this update, the biosdevname utility did not read Vital Product Data (VPD) on NICs with vpd-r:2.0, which resulted in incorrect network interface names when NIC partitioning (NPAR) was enabled on certain NICs. With this update, biosdevname reads VPD data also in cases when NIC has vpdr:2.0, and interface names are now formed as expected if NPAR is enabled. (BZ#1207563)
Users of biosdevname are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs and add these enhancements.
