I find problems to change the IP address on Ubuntu 18.04

[Claudio Ruta]

Hello,

I have installed an Ubuntu 18.04 as z/VM guest.
After the installation I need to change the IP address.
I changed it on /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml and then I tried to apply the change using the command "sudo netplan apply" but unsuccessfully.
I performed the "sudo netplan --debug apply" and I see these messages:

root@UBUNTIPL:/etc/netplan# sudo netplan --debug apply
** (generate:1592): DEBUG: 08:26:14.693: Processing input file //etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml..

For more details I performed also "sudo netplan --debug generate":

Please share the contents of all the .yaml files in /etc/netplan.
Also, please describe how you did the installation for that system.

I see from the logs that there exists a /etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml, which does not sound right for an install on s390x -- either we have a bug in the installer, or NetworkManager was installed in addition to what is normally installed on s390x by the installation process.

To set an address, make sure to modify the:

addresses: [ ]

list to include the address you want (or use "dhcp4: yes" or "dhcp6: yes" if you need DHCP), and additionally change "gateway4" or "gateway6" if you're not using DHCP, to let the system know what to use as a default gateway. You may also need to update details for the nameservers.

See https://netplan.io/examples#dhcp-and-static-addressing for more details on how to set addresses with netplan.

Hi,
Thanks for your support...
I performed the installation under z/VM. I mounted the ubuntu-18.04.1-server-s390x.iso image and received the installation files for RDR IPL. Then, I performed the IPL from RDR and followed the standard installation steps.
I choise to NO DHCP. I need to use a static IP.
After the installation and reboot the machine works and I can able to rech it using the initial IP 9.30.243.118

follow the /etc/netplan files:

root@UBUNTIPL:/etc/netplan# cat 01-network-manager-all.yaml
# Let NetworkManager manage all devices on this system
network:
  version: 2
  renderer: NetworkManager

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# For more information, see netplan(5).
network:
  version: 2
  renderer: networkd
  ethernets:
    enc2e02:
      addresses: [ 9.30.241.124/22 ]
      gateway4: 9.30.240.1
      nameservers:
          search: [ svl.ibm.com ]
          addresses:
              - "9.30.31.32"

In the last file I have only changed the IP address from 9.30.243.118 to 9.30.241.124.

Thanks in advanced

[Claudio Ruta (cruta)]

Hi,
are there any news about the issue ?

Thanks a lot in advanced

[Claudio Ruta (cruta)]

Please,

I have not heard from you again.
Can you help me or not?

is there a reason why I do not receive updates about my problem?
I failed to do some action?
Can you kindly give me an answer?
Thanks in advance

[Ryan Harper (raharper)]

Can you provide output from:

1) ip a
2) networkctl status

And collect the contents of /run/systemd/network and attach to the bug?

Something's not right. If you've got netplan.io installed and a file in
/etc/netplan/*.yaml and it's valid, then it
writes out a networkd configuration to
/run/systemd/network/10-netplan-<interface>.network

So run and capture the following output

1) lsb_release -rd
2) apt-cache policy netplan.io
3) apt-cache policy systemd
4) ls -al /etc/netplan/
5) netplan --debug apply
6) ls -al /run/systemd/network

Can you move 01-network-manager-all.yaml out of the way?

It appears that file tells netplan that it doesn't need to generate any
config for
interfaces that are managaged by systemd.

see below

This line here indicates that the config found for enc2e02 (in
01-netcfg.yaml) isn't managed by networkd
since netplan also found the global config to enable NetworkManager (in
01-network-manager-all.yaml).

The default system configuration is to use NetworkManager for any wifi
devices, and networkd for all other
devices. Was there a reason you added the 01-network-manager-all.yaml ? Do
you want to manage the
interface with NetworkManager or Networkd?

[Claudio Ruta (cruta)]

Hi Ryan,

great !
You are right.

I moved the 01-network-manager-all.yaml and the IP change now works...

Following the debugs process:

root@UBUNTIPL:/etc/netplan# rm 01-network-manager-all.yaml
root@UBUNTIPL:/etc/netplan# netplan --debug apply
** (generate:4760): DEBUG: 12:14:53.205: Processing input file //etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml..

** (generate:4760): DEBUG: 12:14:53.205: Generating output files..
** (generate:4760): DEBUG: 12:14:53.205: NetworkManager: definition enc2e02 is not for us (backend 1)

DEBUG:device lo operstate is unknown, not replugging
DEBUG:netplan triggering .link rules for lo
DEBUG:device enc2e02 operstate is up, not replugging
DEBUG:netplan triggering .link rules for enc2e02

I think now the problem is solved, is true?
Anyway, I don't understanding because the file 01-network-manager-all.yaml was present in the /etc/netpaln directory... is a bug or a my specific installation problem?
Let me know...
Many Thanks for your attention and support

Ciao

 It looks like if your image came from an Ubuntu Desktop ISO install, it
will put that file in place as the Ubuntu
Desktop uses NetworkManager to control network configuration.

Hi,

thanks again for your support.

From my point of view my issue is solved.
Now, I'm able to change the IP address.

Do I have to do some action about this request or provide you to close successfully it?

Let me know

Regards

Actually,

Can you provide any more information about these steps?

"I mounted the ubuntu-18.04.1-server-s390x.iso image and received the installation files for RDR IPL."

From where was the ISO downloaded? And what is RDR and what files were provided?

I looked at contents of http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/18.04.1/release/ubuntu-18.04.1-server-s390x.iso and I'm not finding the 01-network-manager-all.yaml so I'm still confused from this file came.

[Claudio Ruta (cruta)]

Hi,

I download the iso image from this link:
https://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/thank-you-s390x

The Ubuntu 18.04 image for LinuxONE and z Systems available it's this one:
ubuntu-18.04.1-server-s390x.iso

The RDR is a virtual reader under z/VM.
Is used to send and receive files from/to other virual machines and also for other specific scope.

On following link are reported the z/VM installation steps:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/S390X/Installation%20In%20zVM
