os-net-config version used:
git clone https://github.com/karthiksundaravel/os-net-config_nmstate.git -b test_remove_con cd os-net-config_nmstate/ rm -fr /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/os_net_config mv os_net_config /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/
Having this Ethernet interface with no SR-IOV VFs initially:
[root@compute-0 ~]# nmcli c s |grep enp6s0f3 enp6s0f3 9d4db18f-0181-46b5-8b43-c05598bbc63e ethernet enp6s0f3 [root@compute-0 ~]# lshw -c network -businfo |grep enp6s0f3 pci@0000:06:00.3 enp6s0f3 network Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+
We keep the NM state to be used later:
[root@compute-0 ~]# nmstatectl show enp6s0f3 > enp6s0f3.yaml [2025-10-01T15:31:33Z INFO nmstatectl] Nmstate version: 2.2.50
Then, we create the VFs with os-net-config:
[root@compute-0 ~]# os-net-config -i |jq .nic10 "enp6s0f3" [root@compute-0 ~]# cat /tmp/config-2.yaml network_config: - type: sriov_pf name: nic10 mtu: 9000 numvfs: 5 use_dhcp: false defroute: false nm_controlled: true hotplug: true drivers_autoprobe: true [root@compute-0 ~]# >/var/log/os-net-config.log [root@compute-0 ~]# os-net-config -p nmstate -c /tmp/config-2.yaml -d ... 2025-10-01 11:34:32.741 DEBUG os_net_config.impl_nmstate.apply Updated the interfaces: 2025-10-01 11:34:32.741 INFO os_net_config.impl_nmstate.apply Succesfully applied the network config with nmstate provider 2025-10-01 11:34:32.741 INFO os_net_config.config_provider nmstate: Successfully configured network_config 2025-10-01 11:34:32.741 INFO os_net_config.main nmstate: Configured network_config successfully
And we can see that the VFs have been successfully created:
[root@compute-0 ~]# nmcli c s |grep enp6s0f3 enp6s0f3 9d4db18f-0181-46b5-8b43-c05598bbc63e ethernet enp6s0f3 Wired connection 13 33c72ecf-ddd0-362b-98b0-8f99e1a40cd7 ethernet enp6s0f3v2 Wired connection 17 060f9438-bdc2-3531-9135-bbd7a4c575a1 ethernet enp6s0f3v3 Wired connection 18 78a2be7e-a0ae-37c0-a8fd-f1c4dcafbc16 ethernet enp6s0f3v4 Wired connection 8 a6b03bdc-4efc-3e87-8ef3-4779eab85639 ethernet enp6s0f3v0 Wired connection 9 401aacbc-04fc-3342-b56f-1829fc619256 ethernet enp6s0f3v1 [root@compute-0 ~]# lshw -c network -businfo |grep enp6s0f3 pci@0000:06:00.3 enp6s0f3 network Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+ pci@0000:06:0e.0 enp6s0f3v0 network Ethernet Virtual Function 700 Series pci@0000:06:0e.1 enp6s0f3v1 network Ethernet Virtual Function 700 Series pci@0000:06:0e.2 enp6s0f3v2 network Ethernet Virtual Function 700 Series pci@0000:06:0e.3 enp6s0f3v3 network Ethernet Virtual Function 700 Series pci@0000:06:0e.4 enp6s0f3v4 network Ethernet Virtual Function 700 Series
The NM state also changed:
[root@compute-0 ~]# nmstatectl show enp6s0f3 > enp6s0f3_sriov_pf.yaml [2025-10-01T15:36:26Z INFO nmstatectl] Nmstate version: 2.2.50 [root@compute-0 ~]# diff enp6s0f3.yaml enp6s0f3_sriov_pf.yaml 10c10 < mtu: 1500 --- > mtu: 9000 21c21 < accept-all-mac-addresses: false --- > accept-all-mac-addresses: true 78,79c78,129 < total-vfs: 0 < vfs: [] --- > total-vfs: 5 > vfs: > - id: 0 > iface-name: enp6s0f3v0 > mac-address: F6:FA:0B:BA:BE:79 > spoof-check: true > trust: false > min-tx-rate: 0 > max-tx-rate: 0 > vlan-id: 0 > qos: 0 > vlan-proto: 802.1q > - id: 1 > iface-name: enp6s0f3v1 > mac-address: 12:E1:AD:E6:99:8C > spoof-check: true > trust: false > min-tx-rate: 0 > max-tx-rate: 0 > vlan-id: 0 > qos: 0 > vlan-proto: 802.1q > - id: 2 > iface-name: enp6s0f3v2 > mac-address: BE:3E:34:1D:76:0E > spoof-check: true > trust: false > min-tx-rate: 0 > max-tx-rate: 0 > vlan-id: 0 > qos: 0 > vlan-proto: 802.1q > - id: 3 > iface-name: enp6s0f3v3 > mac-address: E6:B2:39:1D:1D:7D > spoof-check: true > trust: false > min-tx-rate: 0 > max-tx-rate: 0 > vlan-id: 0 > qos: 0 > vlan-proto: 802.1q > - id: 4 > iface-name: enp6s0f3v4 > mac-address: 16:E6:A8:9D:DB:87 > spoof-check: true > trust: false > min-tx-rate: 0 > max-tx-rate: 0 > vlan-id: 0 > qos: 0 > vlan-proto: 802.1q
Now, we remove the VFs with os-net-config:
[root@compute-0 ~]# cat /tmp/remove_config-2.yaml remove_confrg: - remove_type: sriov_pf remove_name: nic10 network_config: - type: interface name: nic10 use_dhcp: false [root@compute-0 ~]# os-net-config -p nmstate -c /tmp/remove_config-2.yaml -d ... 2025-10-01 11:38:15.771 DEBUG os_net_config.impl_nmstate.apply Updated the interfaces: enp130s0f1 2025-10-01 11:38:15.772 INFO os_net_config.impl_nmstate.apply Succesfully applied the network config with nmstate provider 2025-10-01 11:38:15.772 INFO os_net_config.config_provider nmstate: Successfully configured network_config 2025-10-01 11:38:15.772 INFO os_net_config.main nmstate: Configured network_config successfully
However, the VFs are still configured:
[root@compute-0 ~]# nmcli c s |grep enp6s0f3 enp6s0f3 9d4db18f-0181-46b5-8b43-c05598bbc63e ethernet enp6s0f3 [root@compute-0 ~]# lshw -c network -businfo |grep enp6s0f3 pci@0000:06:00.3 enp6s0f3 network Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+ pci@0000:06:0e.0 enp6s0f3v0 network Ethernet Virtual Function 700 Series pci@0000:06:0e.1 enp6s0f3v1 network Ethernet Virtual Function 700 Series pci@0000:06:0e.2 enp6s0f3v2 network Ethernet Virtual Function 700 Series pci@0000:06:0e.3 enp6s0f3v3 network Ethernet Virtual Function 700 Series pci@0000:06:0e.4 enp6s0f3v4 network Ethernet Virtual Function 700 Series [root@compute-0 ~]# nmstatectl show enp6s0f3 > enp6s0f3_after_remove_config.yaml [2025-10-01T15:44:25Z INFO nmstatectl] Nmstate version: 2.2.50 [root@compute-0 ~]# diff enp6s0f3_sriov_pf.yaml enp6s0f3_after_remove_config.yaml (no output)
Finally, we can observe that if we re-apply the original NM state for enp6s0f1 the VFs are successfully removed:
[root@compute-0 ~]# nmstatectl apply enp6s0f3.yaml
