How many NICs can Astaro handle?

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

  • the chances of them getting rearranged in virtual are slim.  The only time i've had them magically rearrange themselves is when i not only added a nic but then rearranged their virtual connection.  IN my hyper-v host they have always been detected in the order of creation...unless i was screwing around..I think you don't have anything to worry about.  Start with how many you need..again every nic requires resources to manage..no need to waste them on this issue.

  • The Sort Order of the NICs is easy to fix in V8 ... just edit the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules  when logged in (sudo) as root.
