Remove a Virtual Network Interface

Last published : Oct 01, 2026
You can remove a virtual network interface from a VM without shutting down the VM ("hot unplug") if the VM meets the following conditions:
  • The VM is not suspended.
  • The VM must have XenServer® VM Tools installed.
If one or both of these conditions are not satisfied, shut the VM down before you can remove the virtual network interface.
To remove a virtual network interface:
  1. Select the VM in the Resources pane.
  2. Select the Networking tab.
  3. On the Networking tab, choose the virtual network interface in the list. Click Remove.
