Override interface name in inventory

[Lingfeng Xiong]

In my deployment, there are two computing nodes. One computing node named the ethernet interface as eth0 and eth1, the other one name them as enp1s0f0. In this case, kolla unable to be deployed to these node because no matter how I configure the interfaces in global.yml, one node will failed with

fatal: [node1] => {'msg': "AnsibleUndefinedVariable: One or more undefined variables: 'dict object' has no attribute u'ansible_xxxx'", 'failed': True}

I tried to override network_interface and tunnel_interface by adding these two variables to inventory file, after the hostname:

[compute]
node1 ansible_ssh_user=root network_interface=enp1s0f0 tunnel_interface=vlan123

But it does not work.

Is there any ways to override interface name per host?

I am running kolla (stable/liberty).

This patch needs to be rebased ontop of master instead of liberty. If it is already fixed in master, lets close it as invalid. Please let me know. Thanks!

[Rodolfo Alonso (rodolfo-alonso-hernandez)]

The fix for master is submitted, waiting for review.

As soon as the master branch fix is accepted, I'll submit the patch for mitaka and liberty.

Regards.

The code change [1] for this bug is merged in master before we branched mitaka.
The code changes [2] are targetted for liberty and are put on hold.

I think we can mark this completed for Mitaka & Newton
