You did not mention which rhel version you are using but interfaces on
dells in rhel 6.1 will show up as em1, em2, etc. by default instead of
eth0, eth1. Both dell and redhat mention it in their docs.
Pretty soon I’m going to have to start updating the software I develop
and maintain for RHEL 6. Apparently, I’m going to have to rewrite the
entire set of perfectly-working network code because many (but not all)
of my customers use Dells. What’s the best place to keep up with changes
like this - to learn not just what they are, but the reasons for them
and the lists of exactly what hardware combinations produce which
responses in the OS?
Read Linux related news sites :) Iirc there were quite a few reports
about biosdevname. See Matt Domsch's blog: http://domsch.com/blog/?p=455
Matt works at Dell which explains the Dell focus. A good way of keeping
up is by tracking Fedora's New Features page of the upcoming Fedora
release on Fedora's wiki. Fedora is usually the first to pick up new
stuff which can/will end up in RHEL (CentOS) as was the case for
biosdevname. Just run Fedora on your desktop and test your RPMs on your
desktop too. If your software uses SysVinit: on Fedora it has already
been replaced by systemd which probably will find its way to RHEL at
some point since it was developed by a Red Hat employee (Lennart
Poettering). A 12 part systemd admin guide:
