[ Impact ] * MAAS cannot PXE-boot a machine that has iSCSI disks
* Focal is the default Ubuntu distribution deployed by MAAS, so we should back-port this to ensure it works out-of-the-box. [ Test Plan ] * reproducing this issue requires a machine with iSCSI disks (Cisco UCS Manager in the original report), and a MAAS controller (3.4 or better) * the issue can be observed by simply enlisting the machine in MAAS. It will fail to boot due to the missing BOOTIF configuration. [ Where problems could occur ] * the problematic code was an attempt to fix LP#2037202, so we should watch out for regressions.

The existence of this file makes configure_networking() skip configuring the BOOTIF later due to this code in `scripts/functions`: for x in /run/net-"${DEVICE}".conf /run/net-*.conf ; do if [ -e "$x" ]; then IP=done break fi done To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/2056187/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
