Unable to Access MGMT interface/ No NICS detected

Have you made a xe pif-scan after adding the new NIC?

@olivierlambert I did not I ran the ctl-vsctl add xenrb0
Then add-port eth4. Pkill declient, reran dhclient it got the new IP. And thought I was good cause I was able to access XO lite interface via webUI. But about 5 mins later it yeeted the IP again.

Do I need to remove the xenbr0 and eth4 port. And redo those steps to run your command? Or can I just run it?

Currently in the mist of readding all my VMs but not being able to copy and paste into the terminal is tedious with all the UUIDs

Okay so the right approach is NOT to tinker with the Dom0 but to use xe commands to do this. Otherwise, you might have problems like that. The right approach is to scan for the new NIC.

Our doc explains how to do so: https://docs.xcp-ng.org/networking/#add-a-new-nic

@olivierlambert welll dang! Alright.

So to rectify this. Do I need to delete the configs and then proceed via your link?

olivierlambert

I admin I never modified the dom0 manually with OVS commands, so I would probably network reset and then pif scan.

@olivierlambert perfect.

@olivierlambert thank you again for all the help! Finally able to get it reconnected and able to access the web UI to a extent. But now im getting pinged with this. Even tho im using the new IP obtained via Dhclient.

And I dont have the full UI installed again. Trying to get it restored now but its being tedious

I tried clearing browser cache and accessing the UI via IP, I see what its saying and all, but not sure as to why. When I pull the SSL cert in Google it pulls up the new IP. And cert dont expires for 10 years and everything seems to be fine. I guess maybe there is a old IP still lingering somewhere in XCP?

olivierlambert

For some reasons, it's having "localhost" somewhere, but IDK how

Maybe try to check if there's any record of "localhost" in XAPI, you can check the network object, host, PIFs and pool (xe <object>-param-list uuid=<object UUID)

@CloudX0520

Very weird that you have https://localhost/ , local host only works if your browser is on the same hardware but yours is a mobile phone.

@olivierlambert SOOOOOOOOOOO

for future reference on my end and maybe someone elses who may ever come across this, Once the NIC is established, Please go to Network and Management Interface, and Reconfigure the Management interface to the new NIC/Port

I didnt do that on the Main Landing UI Portion

configured it and So far Local Host SSL issue is resolved.

Now im off to hopefully restore my Lost VMs that are in the Recovered-LocalSR Somehow

And to figure out why deploying XOA works, But it wont start the VM lol
