Hello,
I found today that Dell has special scheme for naming NPAR NICs: em1_1, em1_2. Unfortunately Foreman NIC parser cannot parse that as it assumes this is bond or vlan, but it is not.
Anyone dealt with this already?
I guess for now the only option is to set the “traditional” naming scheme using kernel command line option.
For the record this is the error:
app|D Saving em1.1 NIC for host homer-sammy-hissem-clowser
app|W Not queueing Nic::Managed: ["Identifier has already been taken"]
app|W Not queueing Nic::Managed: ["Identifier has already been taken"]
app|W Not queueing Nic::Managed: ["Identifier has already been taken"]
app|W Saving em1.1 NIC for host homer-sammy-hissem-clowser failed, skipping because:
app|W Identifier has already been taken
app|D Saving em1.2 NIC for host homer-sammy-hissem-clowser

aud|I create event for Nic::BMC with id 367
app|W Unable to assign subnet - reboot trigger may not be possible, primary interface is missing IP address
aud|I update event for Host::Base with id 260
This is from discovery but the same result would be from Foreman core parser.
Workaround: use biosdevname=0 on the kernel command line to go back to pre-RHEL6 naming convention.
