Question about XO pool network

[anchen]

Hi, new to here. firstly, I must say i live the XO user interface. simple, straight forward, and does all we need. I tried Proxmox, vsphere, and yes they are powerful, but also confuse in a way. Thank you team.

I have a quick question in relation about the pool network which created by XO. I see that XO automatically created all pool wide network depends on how many nic ports I have. This is cool. I am wondering, if there is a way I can delete those networks, and create only what I need? I tried delete and received error about PIF associated which I then disconnected PIF, but still has an error.

Kindly if anyone could point me out? This is not a big deal if we cant do it. I am just wondering maybe there is a way, but I just do not know.

Thanks.

Andy

What do you mean by "creating only what you need"?

Also, double check there's no VM attached to this network before removing it.

Hi @olivierlambert ,
I've been reading this forum ver often and always see your reply. Thank you for such quick reply.

See the screenshot attached in below, each single PIF has 1:1 mapped to a pool wide network which created by the XO automatically as soon as the host is managed by XO.

So I am wondering, if there is a way I can delete all those networks, and only create network whenever I need to create a network. Yes, there is no VMs associated with those networks.
Thank you.

Having the same network created on each pool member is exactly the goal of the pool (so you can live migrate easily).

If you don't want that, then don't use a pool

Hi @olivierlambert ,

gotcha, no worries. I will just leave it there. Thank you for the reply.
