How to Remove an Interface From a Bond? -
Description
How to Remove an Interface From a Bond? -
Cause
Use Case: At some point, our network interfaces eth0 and eth1 were set up as a bond, possibly out of the box? We have a 10gb DAC cable connected to the box right now with no intention of adding a second cable at this time. Without that second NIC connected, the box always throws up an alert. Is there a way to remove the bonding or ignore the error?
Alarm in question:
Index Time Alert Message1 2017-11-14 08:17:49 Network Interface Controller Embedded (LOM) Port 1 disconnected. Connect it to a network and/or check your network switches or routers for network connectivity issues. -
Resolution
In order to prevent the DR from flagging an alert, we can remove eth1 from the bond and the messages should not alarm. It can be added back to the bond when ready.
Here are the necessary commands to achieve this goal:
SSH to the DR as administratorTo see relevant network information, including bond and interface names, execute:network --show
Removing the member:network --delete --membernetwork --restartsystem --reboot (helps reset the system to clear the alarm)
