Hi, Do I understand it correctly that: -your OS uses PCI addresses to order NICSs? -PCI addresses of NICs are in fact non-consistent between VMs? So you boot VM1 (with NICs vNIC1 and vNIC2) and VM2 (vNIC3 and vNIC4) with same order in eg. API (->GUI) and you sometimes see different PCI addresses (vNIC2 has higher PCI address than vNIC1; however vNIC3 has higher PCI address than vNIC4)? I am surprised about that…

If I change the MACs on the NICs I have to go back and update Foreman as well. My workaround today is unplug the NIC I want to be second, briefly power-up the VM so the "first" NIC gets assigned a PCI address, shutdown and re-plug the "second" NIC. On power-up the "second" NIC will be assigned a later PCI address and so achieve the ordering I want. It's just fiddly and can only be done on first boot. I was hoping for a more elegant solution that works when you have large numbers of VMs to provision. ---- On Wed, 24 May 2023 08:09:21 +0100 Guillaume Pavese <guillaume.pav...@interactiv-group.com> wrote --- I think it depends on the mac addresses. If you see that the MAC addresses are not sequential, delete the NICs and recreate them in the order you want them to be it world for us Guillaume Pavese Ingénieur Système et Réseau Interactiv-Group On Wed, May 24, 2023 at 1:46 AM Alan G <alan+ov...@griff.me.uk<mailto:alan%2bov...@griff.me.uk>> wrote: Ce message et toutes les pièces jointes (ci-après le “message”) sont établis à l’intention exclusive de ses destinataires et sont confidentiels.
