XCPNG Physical NICs

Computer Hardware & Server Infrastructure Builds

So I’m sure I’m just having a dumb moment but I can’t for the life of me figure out to delete physical interfaces in XCPNG - either via XOA, XCPNG Center, or the console.

Basically what I did was I had a 4 port 1 gig intel NIC in this box at one point in time - i’ve since removed it, yet it’s still hanging out in the config. I have also swapped from a 10 gig Chelsio NIC to a 10 gig Intel NIC as well. I’m all the way up to Eth10 with only Eth0 (onboard) being correct.

Any guidance?

Thanks!

Figured it out - just has to walk away and get dinner.

On the console:
xe pif-list host-uuid=
xe pif-forget uuid=

Ok I guess I didn’t get it fully sorted out. I cleaned up the mess I’d made with the swapping of NICs and not removing them, however I think I got too zealous with my cleanup.

lspci shows my 10 gig nic:

04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection (rev 01)
04:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection (rev 01)

However I can’t seem to find it anymore in my network config. I run a scan and it doesn’t show up.

[16:15 xcpng ~]# xe pif-scan host-uuid=5603d059-243b-42a4-8f8b-02716516ad25
[16:17 xcpng ~]# xe pif-list
uuid ( RO)                  : 9b8aebbb-7401-65d2-14d2-3defe12097b7
                device ( RO): eth0
    currently-attached ( RO): true
                  VLAN ( RO): -1
          network-uuid ( RO): bcfa63d2-7432-9d8e-68a4-8fab5dc8bd32

The only NIC that shows up is my onboard Realtek.

I tried running the emergency network reset from the console but that didn’t seem to help the situation either. I’m sure I’m missing something stupid easy but I can’t figure it out. I have a link light on the 10 gig NIC so I don’t think it’s a hardware issue.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
