Description
Summary
Time buffer issues happen when setting network interfaces in zVM Cloud Connector. Multiple sequential network configuration steps fail when the next step executes before the previous step completes, resulting in "device not ready" errors.
Details
The network interface configuration process involves multiple sequential steps:
-
znetconfcommand - Sets device online -
cio_ignorecommand - Removes device from ignored list -
IP ADDR ADDcommand - Assigns IP address to device
Some of these steps might have different time of completion. Like, steps 2 and 3 can execute before step 1 completes, causing failures due to device not being ready. We can use something like sleep but it won't solve all situations. New method such as udevadm is required
