How to add a static IP address to a PIF

dsiminiuk

XCP-ng 8.2.1 release/yangtze/master/58
Xen Orchestra, commit 9cb94
Master, commit 7cb2f

I have setup anew on a pair of DL580s (72 CPUs, 2TB RAM). I have SAN HBAs, a 1TB LUN attached with multipath. I have a VLAN for VM network access, all works fine.

I have an additional 10GbE NIC on these machines connected through a switch on a private VLAN and I would like to use this network as a migration network. The PIFs are up but I don't see a way to add IP addresses so that I can use it.

How do you add a static IP to a PIF in XO?

Thanks
Danny

Host/Network tab, in the table for the right PIF, "Mode" row, click on "None" and then decide static or DHCP.

@olivierlambert Wow too easy. Thank you!

I agree the UI is suboptimal. It will be a lot better in the next one Anyway, it works for you, that's what matters

@olivierlambert FYI Olivier (sorry, I know this topic is closed, but I had the exact issue as @dsiminiuk did and this thread helped me...kind of)... the UI is very suboptimal imo. Clicking the Host in and of itself doesn't show the options (Mode column) in the Network tab as you share above. If you click the "link" Host on the far right in Home > Hosts, or Settings > Servers, you don't get the needed columns to make the IP change. You have to click the Host name on the LEFT side to see a different set of options in the tabs. Very confusing IMO.

I just installed XO on source today (commit 224c8). I saw a couple days ago that it looks like you all just released a newer XO version with a view like that of XenCenter (or vCenter)? Is that accurate? If so, XO is in desperate need of a View like that. I'm playing around with XCP in hopes it can be a sufficient h/v for us to migrate to away from VMW for obvious reasons (we're an SMB). Major factor to this point is no Veeam integration..once that's set, I'll look harder.

I hope you all keep developing good things in XO.
Thanks.

You can check the new network view in /v6 of your XO URL

@olivierlambert How do I do that? I am literally new to XCP/XO x 1 week

In your XOA URL, just add /v6 at the end.

@olivierlambert Ah, ok...thanks, but I'm not using the appliance; I installed XO via source.
