Hi Yuan,
There are several other Ethernet devices that are undefined & do get removed
(maybe removed is wrong, just not configured) whilst deploying & specifying in
the postbootscripts :confignics -s -r
however ib0 gets a config file (but is not enabled) & that causes an error when
the network service is loaded
tabdump shows:#
"host1",,,,,,,,"enp6s0f0!MTU=9000",,,,
"host2",,,,,,,,"enp6s0f0!MTU=9000",,,,
"host3",,,,,,,,"enp6s0f0!MTU=9000",,,,
"host4",,,,,,,,"enp6s0f0!MTU=9000",,,,
Kind Regards

Hi Javier,
`confignics -r` is only works in this scenario: If the compute node’s nics were
configured by confignics and the nics configuration changed in the nics table,
user the confignics -r to remove the undefined nic.
You can refer to doc:
http://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/admin-guides/manage_clusters/ppc64le/diskless/customize_image/network/cfg_second_adapter.html?highlight=confignics#option-r-to-remove-the-undefined-nics
That means: IB interface should be configured by `confignics` at the beginning.
When you delete IB interface from nics table, `confignics -r` should work.
Could you use `tabdump nics` to check your nics table? If it does not work,
could you open a issue and describe your steps ?
Best Regards

Hello,
I am hoping someone can help.
Deploying a host with xcat & the ib0 adapter config file is not being removed
running:
updatenode nodename -P 'confignics -s -r'
produces below output:
nodename: confignics on nodename: executed script: 'configib -r' to remove all
ib nics and configuration files
nodename: nothing to do.
This is coming from the configib script, but does not remove the ib0 config
file from network-scripts
#if $NIC_IBNICS is not defined, all ib nics' configuration files will be
deleted.
if [ -z "$NIC_IBNICS" ]; then
echo "nothing to do."
fi
