Removing a NIC from the node

You might have to remove a faulty NIC from its slot or move the NIC to another slot for maintenance purposes.

Before you begin

  • All LIFs hosted on the NIC ports must have been migrated or deleted.

  • None of the NIC ports can be the home ports of any LIFs.

  • You must have advanced privileges to delete the ports from a NIC.

  1. Delete the ports from the NIC: network port delete
  2. Verify that the ports have been deleted: network port show
  3. Repeat step 1, if the output of the network port show command still shows the deleted port.
