Hi All :)
I have three servers, all with centos 7 installed 3 days ago. I need on them "old" naming scheme (ethX) for network interfaces, because of that:
# grep GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX /etc/sysconfig/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.lvm.lv=centos_node-XY/swap rd.lvm.lv=centos_node-XY/root rhgb quiet ipv6.disable=1 net.ifnames=0"
net.ifnames=0 was added and afterwards I ran:
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Then I created /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules with content:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:1e:67:7f:9c:98", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:1e:67:7f:9c:99", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:1e:67:7f:9c:9a", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth2" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:1e:67:7f:9c:9b", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth3" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:1e:67:81:37:0d", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth4" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:1e:67:81:37:0e", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth5" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="90:e2:ba:46:ef:30", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth6" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="90:e2:ba:46:ef:31", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth7"
After reboot it worked fine for all 3 servers, but some time later after another reboot I get:
# systemctl status network network.service - LSB: Bring up/down networking Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/network) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2015-10-20 20:37:30 CEST; 13h ago Process: 2034 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

I see now that the device for which I have an entry in udev:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:1e:67:7f:9c:99", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"
with MAC 00:1e:67:7f:9c:99 is not eth1 as it should be but
4: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN qlen 1000 link/ether 00:1e:67:7f:9c:99 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
and there is no eth1 in the system.
# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 TYPE=Ethernet BOOTPROTO=static DEFROUTE=no PEERDNS=no PEERROUTES=no IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no IPV6INIT=no IPV6_AUTOCONF=no IPV6_DEFROUTE=no IPV6_PEERDNS=no IPV6_PEERROUTES=no IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no NAME=eth1 #UUID=e421e35f-3397-4a93-9449-0aa4e9ef9e1d DEVICE=eth1 ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=1.2.3.4 NETMASK=255.255.255.0
All pages which I found about "Device ethX does not seem to be present, delaying initialization" tell to correctly configure udev but it is correctly configured and it worked some time ago, only recently i started to get problems with this on 3 servers at once. I also noticed that on one of them when I saw the problem and rebooted the server eth1 was correctly assigned afterwards but after another reboot the message happened again. Quite strange to me :D
Have you had similar problems on centos7? Any advice?
Thanks :)
BR, Rafal.
Hmm, shoot in the Dark, IMHO, the change of the udev rules should have been made before the grub-update. If you have initrd/initramfs, they will have to be updated before that also.
Else the systemd from the boot(initrd) (still on en...) has another config that the on-system (eth.) systemd.
I'm not on a CentOS system atm, so I can't test it, but a call to "dracut" seems to be in order, that a call to "grub-update" again. Please, inform yourself on dracut options before that, (man-page, also, see kernel-update scripts).
