We are looking to trigger the recreation of the
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
file under RHEL 6.5 (current patches)
QUOTE FROM ARTICLE ABOVE:
Resolution •You can manually force udev to create the rules file by running the following command:
This command is recommended to trigger the rules file:
# udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=net
Usually the
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
file can simply be deleted and it'll be regenerated upon reboot. But sometimes it's not or not fully regenerated. In these cases you can try either of these:
udevadm trigger udevadm trigger --action=add
For me on an Ubuntu Precise (12.04.1) system the reboot created an entry in the rules file only for one of the NICs. And the
udevadm trigger
did not recreate the rules file. However the
udevadm trigger --action=change
command did the trick:
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
was regenerated and it contained entries for both NICs.
P.S.: the
udevadm trigger --action=change
trick should be used only after you deleted the rules file and rebooted.
Thanks
