Best Practice for Moving a vnic From a 1GE IO Module to 10GE IO Module or Between Different Ports on an IO Module

Solution

I want to move a vnic residing on a 1GE IO Module to a 10GE IO Module but receive an error

Error:

admin@xsigolab-b[xsigo] set vnic xeth1.lx-chcl07a-01 -if=2/1
Moving a VNIC between different types of I/O Cards is not allowed.

OR:

When moving vnic between physical ports, receive the following message.

#10/4=mtu1500, 10/3=mtu9000

admin@vp780p[xsigo] set vnic vn20.linux -if=10/4
Moving a VNIC between ports with different property - mtu, mode, lag, speed or access-vlan is not allowed.

You must set the interface state to none first (-if=none) before changing the interface from 1GE to 10GE or to move the vnic to a port with a different MTU, mode, lag, access-vlan or speed. First set the vnic to state down then set '–if=none', followed by finally changing the interface ::
