      In interface-rename python I see it imports xcp.pci and others. Maybe if it is edited to import usb as well then using an if command we can get it to also recognize a pci address for examaple 'usb-0000:00:14.0-2 (if usb-xxxx:xx:xx:x-x then refer to usb location. Will play around now. For now I wonder if a simple edit to the script would get it working. usb-0000:00:14.0-2 does in fact refer to to the proper pci address of the usb controller @ 00:14.0 I wonder if for reporting purposes using a if command to strip away usb-0000:00:14.0-2 to 0000:00:14.0-2 or possibly 0000:00:14.0 would be enough for it to comply with xapi then with a proper eth name it will report correctly refresh xcenter appropriately. Since it can be matched with permanent MAC it in theory would be able to function as that just displays NIC. Then if that is successful I can see if it would cause conflict with two reporting same PCI location. Which from looking at the script it should not as that is just reporting to the end user usable info which we really don't care as we are aware it is a usb device then could simply find out which to be specific. This does not effect the driver which is already communicating properly and the device is functioning fine it just cannot determine that bus location.

        Check it out

        Fully Functional

        Going to see if I can get it to call the vendor and device from the usb manu and product ids so it is all pretty and what not.

          So you did modified the script? Can you share it somewhere? (so we could test it and include it for future update)

            Did not get to the script yet but I will. I just wanted to be 100 percent sure that the only reason its named side is because that script cannot handle it due to the unknown bus location. If we can get the script to recognize the location then that would likely be the end for all usb nic troubles as it will then be able to properly assign the ethx name for xapi to correctly pick up without any addition user interaction.Thus again putting XCP-NG ahead of the game. As we would not have to put a halt to dynamic naming for interfaces and the nic will be retained through a reboot.

                Anyone knows where is the database for USB vendors and product ids? Would like to put an edit in there to see if that would generate proper info.

                      Okay great ๐Ÿ™‚ Can you share with us all the modification you had to made? What can we do to have this integrated in XCP-ng? (ie not a too specific code ideally that would work with other network USB devices)

                      Thanks!

                        Of course. Right now I just got enough information to start the modification on the script which I start tomorrow. In fact, all that is needed to get usbnics working properly in xapi is simply being able to identify usb locations. THAT'S IT! All NICs if you look in the logs are initially named side then because the rename script runs and after properly identifying it assigns a ethxx name which the api will work with. All this would take is an import command and a few if commands. I got the logic down so now it is just about editing, trial and error.

                        Question regarding:

                        import sys, logging
                        from optparse import OptionParser, OptionGroup
                        from os.path import join as joinpath, normpath, exists as pathexists
                        from subprocess import Popen
                        
                        try:
                            import cStringIO as StringIO
                        except ImportError:
                            import StringIO
                        
                        import xcp.logger as LOG
                        from xcp.pci import PCI
                        from xcp.net.biosdevname import all_devices_all_names
                        from xcp.net.ip import ip_link_set_name
                        from xcp.net.ifrename.logic import rename
                        from xcp.net.ifrename.macpci import MACPCI
                        from xcp.net.ifrename.static import StaticRules
                        from xcp.net.ifrename.dynamic import DynamicRules
                        from xcp.net.ifrename.util import niceformat
                        from xcp.net.mac import MAC
                        

                        for the import command as my google fu was no help for the above xcp.net and xcp.pci what is it specifically referring to?
                        What I have that down we simply need to add and import for usb then modify a few existing calls with the first being if device location = usb format then run the modify version of the script that would have the edited fields to pull the proper usb locations etc. For the vendor and device it would be best and most simple if we refer to the usbvidpid list it can simply call the info from an already large existing database which can also be easily updated and/or modified for an entry. Functionality wise all that is needed is those if commands to make a usb location referable. Then any usb NIC (so long as drivers provided) would be truly plug and play and we could use the existing config to chose a specific ethxx name based on MAC so they survive reboots without further editing anything.

                        Got it is referring to the python libary / libs

                                    I think the rename script modification to recognize PCI and USB device was the key.

                                            just make file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
                                            and put your all nic in it like this:

                                            SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="6a:66:e8:33:0f:1c", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"
                                            SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="ed:8c:c1:ba:cb:b9", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"
                                            SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="7c:3f:5f:fa:e4:a3", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth2"
                                            

                                            just change your own mac address. reboot and then xe pif-forget=(side-xxx uuid)
                                            and reboot.
