When installing OS to a VLAN enabled iscsi LUN (extracted from iBFT),
"/tmp/net.{xyz}.has_ibft_config" is not being set properly.
Then anaconda installer requires 'BOOTPROTO="ibft"' populated in ifcfg of the
vlan interface (ex: ibft0.20), for it to properly populate the kernel
parameters post installation. The setting 'BOOTPROTO="ibft"' is populated by
write-ifcfg.sh script only if the corresponding interface has a file
/tmp/net.{xyz}.has_inft_config
To get around this issue, in ibft_to_cmdline() function in net-lib.sh file, I
made the following changes to populate the has_ibft_config file for the vlan
interface(ex: ibft0.20):
