sysconfig renderer does not render gateway settings in ifcfg-$iface files

[Ryan Harper]

cloud-init trunk with the following network config:

network:
    version: 1
    config:
        - type: physical
          name: interface0
          mac_address: "52:54:00:12:34:00"
          subnets:
              - type: static
                address: 10.0.2.15
                netmask: 255.255.255.0
                gateway: 10.0.2.2

renders an ifcfg-interface0 file without a GATEWAY=10.0.2.2

% cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-interface0
# Created by cloud-init on instance boot automatically, do not edit.
#
BOOTPROTO=static
DEVICE=interface0
HWADDR=52:54:00:12:34:00
IPADDR=10.0.2.15
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NM_CONTROLLED=no
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no

Subsequently, route -n shows that a default gateway is not set.

% route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.0.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 interface0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1002 0 0 interface0

If you add GATEWAY=10.0.2.2 you see a route like this:

% route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
0.0.0.0 10.0.2.2 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 interface0
10.0.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 interface0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1002 0 0 interface0

Description of problem:
on latest version of cloud-init, it does not apply the default gateway on RHEL 7.4 vm.
Seen using the no-cloud provider with a static networking configuration.

Description of problem:
Due to an upstream cloud-init bug ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1686856 ), the default gateway is not configured on the Engine VM if deployed with static IP.

It affects RHEL 7.4 and Centos 7.4 (used as the base of the engine-appliance, not related to host OS).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
The issue is cloud-init on the engine VM OS: 7.4

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. deploy hosted-engine with static IP for the engine VM
2.
3.

Actual results:
The engine VM has no gateway and so no network connectivity

Expected results:
The default gateway on the engine VM is correctly configured

Additional info:

It affects RHEL 7.4 and Centos 7.4 (used as the base of the engine-appliance, not related to host OS)

[Sandro Bonazzola (sandro-bonazzola)]

This is a regression, should be considered as blocker for next cloud-init release.
Any ETA on fixing this?

[Sandro (sandro-redhat-bugs)]

Proposing for backport to 7.4 too

[Sandro (sandro-redhat-bugs)]

Not depending on bug #1492726 since we can workaround it. Moved bug #1492726 to see also.

*** Bug 1493070 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

[Ryan Harper (raharper)]

This is fixed in trunk @ d1e8eb73aca6a3f5cee415774dcf540e934ec250

This will be included in the next cloud-init release:

Thanks!

[Scott Moser (smoser)]

This bug is believed to be fixed in cloud-init in 17.1. If this is still a problem for you, please make a comment and set the state back to New

Thank you.

[Ryan (ryan-redhat-bugs)]

Moving back to assigned. The fix upstream is incomplete. Still waiting for them to pull the complete fixes in. The latest release (17.1) and the master branch are still broken.

[Ryan McCabe (rmccabe)]

This still appears to be broken in 17.1 and master:

[Ryan McCabe (rmccabe)]

Ignore the above, please. I had stale bits lying around that were causing it to use old code. It does render the GATEWAY line in sysconfig for me now on master after I've cleaned up.

[Ryan (ryan-redhat-bugs)]

..and moving back to POST. I had stale bits from 0.7.9 lying around that were being used while I was testing. The upstream fix does seem to resolve GATEWAY not being written out.

[Nikolai (nikolai-redhat-bugs)]

Successfully deployed SHE with static IP using cloud-init, over NFS on RHEL7.4 host, using rhvm-appliance-4.1.20170927.0-1.el7.noarch with ovirt-engine-setup-4.1.7.1-0.1.el7.noarch inside and ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-2.1.4-1.el7ev.noarch on host.
Moving to verified.
