      Given a RHEL 10 system with NetworkManager installed,

      When a system administrator attempts to create or list team connections via nmcli,

      Then team is not listed as a valid connection type, and creation attempts return an explicit "unsupported" error and a warning for the users of the libnm when NM is built without team.

      Definition of Done:

      • Trying to configure team networking using nmcli or other client results in failure
      • Nmcli doesn't suggest team related settings
      • All references to team networking are removed from NetworkManager documentation and man page
      • The code is part of a downstream build attached to an errata

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

      The teamd service and libteam library were removed in RHEL 10, (as was NetworkManager-team) but NetworkManager still allows a team device to be configured.

      I configured a team using nmcli and saw no errors when configuring it, but when I tried to bring it up it complains there are no plugins (which is expected).

      It is also listed as a connection.type in man nmcli.

      What is the impact of this issue to you?

      Customers may assume that teaming should work and be supported in RHEL 10 due to it being an option. This has the potential to create more support cases and/or Jiras being filed.

      Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:

      NetworkManager-1.51.90-2.el10.x86_64

      How reproducible is this bug?:

      100%

      Steps to reproduce

      root@rhel10-beta:~# nmcli con add type team ifname team0 con-name team0
      Connection 'team0' (e8beecc3-91f7-4db9-a8c9-4e810c173248) successfully added.
      
      root@rhel10-beta:~# nmcli c s
      NAME    UUID                                  TYPE      DEVICE 
      enp1s0  ccddc672-70c1-31a0-bf6f-4ea0c4dfb85b  ethernet  enp1s0 
      lo      1c0fb33b-8dbe-4b48-bf69-80e8fbb57c37  loopback  lo     
      team0   e8beecc3-91f7-4db9-a8c9-4e810c173248  team      --     
      root@rhel10-beta:~# nmcli con up team0
      Error: Connection activation failed: NetworkManager plugin for 'team' unavailable
      

      Expected results

      That team* types are not an option in RHEL 10's NetworkManager

      Actual results

      A team device is created, but not able to be used.
