change nic name problem
RAC1 ifconfig returns eth4 and eth5
RAC2 returns eth6 and eth7
Tried:
cp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Auto_eth6 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth5
cp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Auto_eth7 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth4
vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth5 and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth4, changed name to NAME="Auto eth5" and NAME="Auto eth4" as RAC1's ifcfg file.and deleted UUID. Removed /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Auto_eth6 and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Auto_eth7.
Restarted network service.
ifconfig -a | grep eth
eth6
eth7
The name did not get changed.
Only change is from RAC2's network confiig window, the interface name changed from Auto eth7 to Auto eth4.
