Hi,

As Saul said, it is highly recommended you have a try with 3.0 Release, instead of 1.0 Release, which is too old and not maintained now.

For your environment, with “host-port-list”, there are eth0 ~ eth3, no eth1000.

So you should use eth2/eth3, instead of eth1000 as data interface.

Best Regards

Shuicheng

Hi ,

I According to https://docs.starlingx.io/deploy_install_guides/r1_release/controller_storage.html#id8 , the data interface eth1000 cannot be modified. Following is the detail informations about my issue. Could you please help me? Thanks.

Brief Description

-----------------

My Environment:

I install StarlingX in Virtual Environment.

StarlingX version: 2018/10

stx-tools version: 2018/10

Steps:

            1. Install controller-0 succesfully.

            2. Install compute-0.

            3. source /etc/nova/openrc.

            4. system host-port-list compute-0

            5. system host-if-modify -p providernet-a -c data compute-0 eth1000

(The following is the returned information:)

Interface not found: host compute-0 if eth1000

Issues:

-----------------

1. I did not find the data interface after executing the command: system host-if-list compute-0

2. I do not know how to use command "system host-if-add" to add data interface.

Best regards with you,
