      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      When we try to use migrate-ifcfg-rh option, it does not work in RHEL 10

      I think this is because now we do not have ifcfg-rh plugin and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory is missing so I think migrate-ifcfg-rh may be not needed.

      1. ls -lh  /etc/sysconfig/network*
        rw-rr-. 1 root root 30 Sep 13 00:56 /etc/sysconfig/network

      If I create purposefully ifcfg-* file (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp7s0), after reboot it was not migrated.

      # nmcli connection migrate /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp7s0

      Error: unknown connection '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp7s0'.
      Error: cannot migrate unknown connection(s): '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp7s0'.

       

      One more thing I notice is, even if we have files under system-connections , when we run "nmcli con migrate" it says files migrated, but that is not needed as they are already in "system-connections"

       

      1. nmcli -f filename,uuid,name,device con s
        FILENAME                                                    UUID                                  NAME    DEVICE 
        /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/enp1s0.nmconnection  70d862ca-6888-4c77-906a-de24644cb948  enp1s0  enp1s0 
        /run/NetworkManager/system-connections/lo.nmconnection      0b08deda-77f0-4179-a4e2-cfd0337acba8  lo      lo    
      1. nmcli connection migrate 
        Connection 'enp1s0' (70d862ca-6888-4c77-906a-de24644cb948) successfully migrated.
        Connection 'lo' (0b08deda-77f0-4179-a4e2-cfd0337acba8) successfully migrated.
      1. nmcli -f filename,uuid,name,device con s
        FILENAME                                                    UUID                                  NAME    DEVICE 
        /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/enp1s0.nmconnection  70d862ca-6888-4c77-906a-de24644cb948  enp1s0  enp1s0 
        /run/NetworkManager/system-connections/lo.nmconnection      0b08deda-77f0-4179-a4e2-cfd0337acba8  lo      lo     

       

      As ifcfg-rh is removed, should not we remove "nmcli con migrate" and "migrate-ifcfg-rh" ?
