Hi


I have two NICs in my setup and installed proxmox and now I wanted to remove one of the NICs that is not in use, but as soon as I remove the NIC proxmox won^t boot anymore.

I have no idea why, but I need that slow for my HBA.

Can someone tell me how I solve this issue?!

enp9S0 = in use
enp1s0 = not in use (removed from all VM and NOT passed through anywere)

Just to clarify: won't it boot or is it not reachable via the network? The first I cannot explain but the second is caused by the names of the network controllers being determined by the PCI ID of the controllers and those can change when you add or remove a PCI(e) device (like a network controller). Lots of threads about this. Do you have a physical keyboard and display connected to your Proxmox? Use ip a to find the new names of network devices and edit /etc/network/interfaces to match again.

That's my issue.
This "server" has no IGPU, GPU or any other display out. So I can't even see it. :(

Im trying now to make the Name persistent by following the debian article: https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkInterfaceNames#THE_.22PERSISTENT_NAMES.22_SCHEME


Code:
root@fortress:/etc/systemd/network# cat 10-persistent-net.link
[Match]
MACAddress=70:85:c2:XX:XX:XX

[Link]
Name=enp9s0
root@fortress:/etc/systemd/network#
