Going to respond to both of you in a single email.

Russell,

Was not aware of confignics  going away.  Will look into replacing that
piece correctly.

Nathan,

The nics table says this about the node:
"c001","bmc!172.16.4.26,ib0!172.16.8.26",,,"ib0!Infiniband,bmc!bmc",,"bmc!dracnet,ib0!ibnet","ib0!c001.ib.cluster,bmc!c001.drac.cluster","ib0!Type=InfiniBand
CONNECTED_MODE=yes MTU=65520",,,,

Also, one of my team mates pointed out that the network-scripts RPM is not
being installed by default.

Adding that RPM to the osimage template and adding
systemctl enable network-scripts
systemctl start network-scripts
To the %post section of the template has corrected the issue.

It does seem a bit odd though that something like that wouldn't be included
and enabled by default.
