From 9969cf3eaa23398816d140b319b3277465aa4bb8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eduardo Otubo Date: Fri, 6 Sep 2019 12:12:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Fix for network configuration not persisting after reboot RH-Author: Eduardo Otubo Message-id: <20190906121211.23172-1-otubo@redhat.com> Patchwork-id: 90300 O-Subject: [RHEL-7.8/RHEL-8.1.0 cloud-init PATCH] Fix for network configuration not persisting after reboot Bugzilla: 1593010 RH-Acked-by: Mohammed Gamal RH-Acked-by: Miroslav Rezanina The reasons the configuration does not persist after reboot includes different aspects and they're all fixed on this patch: 1) The rpm package doesn't include the systemd-generator and ds-identify. The systemd-generator is called early in the boot process that calls ds-identify to check if there's any Data Source available in the current boot. In the current use case, the Data Source is removed from the VM on the second boot, this means cloud-init should disable itself in order to keep the configuration it did in the first boot. 2) Even after adding those scripts, cloud-init was still being executed and the configurations were being lost. The reason for this is that the cloud-init systemd units had a wrong dependency WantedBy: multi-user.target Which would start them every time no matter the return of ds-identify. The fix is to replace the dependency by the systemd unit to cloud-init.target, which is the main cloud-init target enabled - or in this case, disabled by ds-identify. The file cloud-init.target was also missing on rpm package. After adding both scripts, the main cloud-init systemd target and adjusting the systemd dependencies the configuration persists after reboots and shutdowns.
