Does the rhel9 deployed OS not work with the clean-interfaces.sh script? Does it exist on the rhel9 Scale lab image/build?

It fails if the interfaces have already been cleaned.

Is that the intended behavior? Should we skip the clean interfaces for rhel9? We have to be very careful with the usage of ignore_errors when we can.

I'm not sure, it's different on RHEL8 vs RHEL9. It seems to fail silently on 8 and not on 9. I'll see if I can compare again.

Looks like the clean interfaces script has been rewritten to use nmcli on RHEL9.

Got it so in that case it returns an error code that ansible now picks up whereas with rhel8, it would fail but no error code was emitted and therefore not picked up by ansible?

I have tested this patch on both RHEL8 and RHEL9. |

We don't need these two tasks anymore I believe.

I won't pretend to know the differences between libvirt video model types, but did libvirt kick back an error with qxl instead of vga type when it was rhel9? Just curious for the change.

yup, rhel9 didn't like qxl but rhel8 didn't mind vga

Hey @radez curious if there is a method other than foreman re-provisioning to quickly move from RHEL8 to RHEL9 hypervisors as well as downgrade back? Is there a specific RHEL9 version 9.4? Thanks! |
I have not tested this with RHEL8 HVs yet.
I have deployed SNOs on RHEL9 HVs using this patch.
