But for #2, no, you do not want to delete those tempfs file systems. This is how the kernel keeps track of things. These are in memory temporary file systems that are created at boot and disappear at shutdown. Leave these alone.

Changing the Interface name (I followed the instructions on the link : https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2592561 and it didn't work.) # ip link 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 1 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 2: enccw0.0.0100: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT qlen 1000 link/ether 02:00:03:00:00:8c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff I need to change enccw0.0.0100 to eth0 because we have so many scripts which uses eth0. # nmcli connection modify enccw0.0.0100 connection.interface-name eth0 # nmcli connection up eth0 Error: unknown connection 'eth0'. # udevadm info /sys/class/net/enccw0.0.0100 P: /devices/qeth/0.0.0100/net/enccw0.0.0100 E: DEVPATH=/devices/qeth/0.0.0100/net/enccw0.0.0100 E: ID_NET_DRIVER=qeth_l2 E: ID_NET_NAME_MAC=enx02000300008c E: ID_NET_NAME_PATH=enccw0.0.0100 E: ID_PATH=ccwgroup-0.0.0100 E: ID_PATH_TAG=ccwgroup-0_0_0100 E: IFINDEX=2 E: INTERFACE=enccw0.0.0100 E: SUBSYSTEM=net E: SYSTEMD_ALIAS=/sys/subsystem/net/devices/enccw0.0.0100 E: TAGS=:systemd: E: USEC_INITIALIZED=85059 2. File system - When I installed, I created single partition "/" for the entire disk. But, after the install completed, I see the following. Should I go ahead and delete all "tmpfs"? df -T Filesystem Type 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/dasda1 ext4 21160896 4004264 16058644 20% / devtmpfs devtmpfs 8141464 0 8141464 0% /dev tmpfs tmpfs 8155160 0 8155160 0% /dev/shm tmpfs tmpfs 8155160 8468 8146692 1% /run tmpfs tmpfs 8155160 0 8155160 0% /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs tmpfs 1631032 0 1631032 0% /run/user/0 By default we partition the whole disk as on ECKD and use SAN for all other purposes. df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/dasda1 19G 16G 2.1G 89% / tmpfs 499M 0 499M 0% /dev/shm Appreciate your help.
