2017-03-06 12:09:58 Heinz-Werner Seeck description When trying to install Ubuntu distro on one of the IBM z/VM Guests which has more than one NICDEF statement defined in the user directory (Connected to more than one Vswitch at once) the installation process will add the network interface based on the ascending order of the NIC and not based on the param file - Machine Type = z/vM level 6.3 LPAR Z12 - Debugger = A debugger is not configured ---Steps to Reproduce--- System Information: z/VM level 6.3 or 6.4 VSWITCH1 (VS1) - NIC 700 ( 9dot) VSWITCH2 (VS2) - NIC 900 (172dot) Recreate Steps: --------------------- 1. Create a new z/VM guests with connections to 2 different VSWITCHEs - VS1 and VS2 (nic 700 and 900 respectively) 2. Start Installation via IBM Wave product and choose IP to be from VS2. The param file will be created as bellow: IGUB1610.INSTBASE: ro locale=C s390-netdevice/choose_networktype=qeth s390-netdevice/qeth/layer2=true s390-netd evice/qeth/port=0 s390-netdevice/qeth/choose=0.0.0900,0.0.0901,0.0.0902 netcfg/c onfirm_static=true netcfg/get_ipaddress=xxx.x.xxx.131 netcfg/get_hostname= netc fg/hostname="IGUB1610" netcfg/get_domain= netcfg/disable_dhcp=true netcfg/get_g ateway=xxx.x.xxx.254 netcfg/get_netmask=255.255.224.0 netcfg/disable_autoconfig= true netcfg/use_autoconfig=false netcfg/get_nameservers=127.0.0.1 disk-detect/mu ltipath/enable=true network-console/password=password network-console/password-a gain=password mirror/protocol=ftp mirror/ftp/hostname=davidre:<RepoPassword>@xxx .x.xxx.5 mirror/ftp/directory=//nfs/repo/Ubuntu16.10/ 3. Open z/VM guest and follow the installation process until the SSH session will be opened Actual Result: The SSH session is not opened and the IP remains unpingable since the Network interface that is added to the Guest at the installation beginning is etc700 instead etc900 that we expect for Vswitch 172dot Checked for other vswitches and it is always the same story - the network interface is added based on the ascending order of the available nics. In case Guest connected to 3 different vswitchs with NICs 300, 700, 900 and installation started for NIC 900, anyway the network in the installation will be 300 Output from 3270 guest's console: Kernel command line: ro locale=C s390-netdevice/choose_networktype=qeth s390- netdevice/qeth/layer2=true s390-netdevice/qeth/port=0 s390-netdevice/qeth/choose =0.0.0900,0.0.0901,0.0.0902 netcfg/confirm_static=true netcfg/get_ipaddress=xxx.x.xxx.131 netcfg/get_hostname= netcfg/hostname="IGUB1610" netcfg/get_domain= n etcfg/disable_dhcp=true netcfg/get_gateway=xxx.x.xxx.254 netcfg/get_netmask=255. 255.224.0 netcfg/disable_autoconfig=true netcfg/use_autoconfig=false netcfg/get_ nameservers=127.0.0.1 disk-detect/multipath/enable=true network-console/password Detecting link on enc700; please wait... Expected: The network interface should be added based on the one provided in the param file Impact: Not possible to install Ubuntu on Guest that have more than one vswitch and the Vswitch for which we want installation to be done is not the first in the order (NICs order) When trying to install Ubuntu distro on one of the IBM z/VM Guests which has more than one NICDEF statement defined in the user directory (Connected to more than one Vswitch at once) the installation process will add the network interface based on the ascending order of the NIC and not based on the param file - Machine Type = z/vM level 6.3 LPAR Z12 - Debugger = A debugger is not configured ---Steps to Reproduce--- System Information: z/VM level 6.3 or 6.4 VSWITCH1 (VS1) - NIC 700 ( 9dot) VSWITCH2 (VS2) - NIC 900 (172dot) Recreate Steps: --------------------- 1.
