When adding vlan network parameter to RHEV Hypervisor install it fails with message "dracut: FATAL: vlan= requires two parameters"
Issue
- In the section 4.2.5. Networking Parameters of the Hypervisor Deployment Guide states the following:
vlan
The vlan parameter sets the VLAN identifier for the network connected to the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager. This parameter should be set where VLANs are in use.
vlan=VLAN-ID
- If it is set this way you will get the following message:
dracut: FATAL: vlan= requires two parameters
dracut: Refusing to continue
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
