Lost hostname after reboot in a system installed via autoyast
This document (7018401) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.
Environment
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 Service Pack 2 (SLES 12 SP2)
Situation
A system which was installed with autoyast lost its hostname after a reboot. In addition, that would not happen when using the same xml autoyast profile in previous versions, such as SLES 12 SP1.
Resolution
Please ensure the following line is correct:
<keep_install_network config:type="boolean">true</keep_install_network>
Cause
Code in previous implementations such as SLES 12 SP1 was broken as for the part of keep_install_network. Hence, the network setup was copied always, and keep_install_network would have no effect.
