Unable to Access MGMT interface/ No NICS detected
-
Gut feeling while watching your dmesg log: your Broadcom NIC is in "hybrid mode" between FC and ethernet. That might trigger your problem somehow. I would flash it to get in ethernet only. Check the exact NIC you have to see how to do this.
-
@olivierlambert I'll give that a shot and see! The NIC ive been using has 2 sfp ports and 2 ethernet ports. ( on board ) and I found a new nic laying around just ethernets I dropped in last night. That imma see what happens when I get home.
If it dont work ill flash the on board sfp/ethernet and report back.
-
@olivierlambert ALright Finally got server back up from a raid controller issue,
the Ethernet only Nic is installed, and plugged in. I see the Connection in my Switch/Network Controller But still no IP or anything in XCP MGMT, Went to Network MGMT and its still not detecting a interface
Update1 / Edit 1
I was able to get back into the Web UI for a split moment, and then something happened not sure what and it lost it again, However this time i can see the NIC in Display NIC
went to Configure MGMT interface, selected the Same ETH4 And got Config Failed " Unknown Error Occured while attempting to configure interface "
So we are making progress!
-
Have you made a
xe pif-scanafter 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?
-
I admin I never modified the dom0 manually with OVS commands, so I would probably network reset and then pif scan.
-
@olivierlambert perfect.
Thank you tons for the support!! Ill get back home from work and give this a try and will report back!
-
@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?
-
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)
-
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
-
Slightly off topic,
Is there a Dark theme for XOA? and not the Lite version? this light theme is killing me XD
-
@CloudX0520 XO 6 and XO Lite both have dark themes. XO 5 doesn't and never will since it's been replaced by XO 6
-
@olivierlambert awwww. Fair enough. I shall wait!
Unlesssss there is a way for custom themes to be made 
-
@CloudX0520 Personally i use Dark reader extension on Firefox, so every page is in dark mode by default
-
Dark Reader is the way for XO 5 indeed ^^
-
@AtaxyaNetwork I'll check it out! Im currently on chrome. So ill see if they have something close to it.
Thank you!
