[PVE-User] Interface not renamed...

[Marco Gaiarin]

I've upgraded a server from PVE7 to PV8, and (as expected) some interfaces
get renamed.

Really, i've upgraded TWO identical server (Dell T440), and one went
flawlessy, the other... and interface get NOT renamed, remain 'eth1':

 root at svpve2:~# ip link show eth1
 3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
     link/ether 5c:6f:69:0f:99:79 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
     altname enp1s0f1

I've tried:

 root at svpve2:~# ip -force link set dev eth1 name ens1f1
 RTNETLINK answers: File exists

and:

 root at svpve2:~# ip link property add dev eth1 altname ens1f1
 RTNETLINK answers: File exists


but nothing work; there's something i can do whithout rebooting the server?


Thanks.

PS: port is on a dual-port pcie card, the other port on the same card works as expected:

 root at svpve2:~# ip link show ens1f0
 2: ens1f0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq master bond0 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
     link/ether f4:ee:08:24:3a:ff brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff permaddr 5c:6f:69:0f:99:78
     altname enp1s0f0
