Hi@all
This is the Story, im working on a Disaster and Recovery Solution for rhel 5.3 and all installd applications and configurations.
I used partimage to get a whole backup. Bevor i got the backup, i deleted all HWADDR entries in the ifcfg-files. I recovered the Backup on an other maschine with completle the same Hardware.
After booting the recovered maschine i noticed that all network interfaces now have the wrong alias.
for Example:
first maschine
eth0 192.168.100.1 255.255.255.0 MAC: 00:22:33:44:55:66 -> NIC1
eth1 10.1.85.135 255.255.255.128 MAC: 66:55:44:33:22:00 -> NIC2
second maschine
eth0 192.168.100.1 255.255.255.0 MAC: 66:55:44:33:22:00 -> NIC2
eth1 10.1.85.135 255.255.255.128 MAC: 00:22:33:44:55:66 -> NIC1
The problem is that eth0 is now on the Second NIC and eth1 on the first.
I tried to add all HWADDR entries with the right MAC in the ifcfg-files but without success. The NIC was always the same.
This is the modprobe.conf
Code:
alias eth0 bnx2
alias eth1 e1000e
what can i do to chang it back to the right order?
