Persistent network interface names on SUSE clusters

On SUSE systems, network interfaces can change their names following a reboot. To configure persistent network interface names, add a PERSISTENT_NAME=ethX entry to the /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-mac_address network interface configuration file for each interface on each node of the cluster, where X and mac_address correspond to the interface number and MAC address.
