How many NICs can Astaro handle?

Albeck
Hi folks,

simple question: How many NICs can Astaro handle. Or is there a limit? 

I am thinking about of reinstalling Astaro and adding as much virtual NICs as possible just in case for any eventuality.

Hope somebody can tell me this.
Thanks in advice, 
Albeck

    I think so, too.  The whole reason there's an issue with adding NICs is because only the necessary drivers are loaded at install time.  If you have Intel NICs in a PC, you can add/replace the same NICs without re-installing Astaro.  I'm curious, you VMWare users, do you have to reboot Astaro if you add a NIC to an instance, or is the "new" NIC immediately visible?

    Cheers - Bob

    Bob, I've always done it with the VM off... so I don't know the answer to that question.  I'm pretty sure you'd have to at least reboot.
