Recover system after disabling ethernet

buliway · Sep 24th 2020

Hi,

I am running OMV5 on a Odroid HC-2

I managed to disable my ethernet connection in the GUI under network->interfaces.

Now I can't get into the system.

Is there anyway for me to redo the damage?

I have found Interfaces in the config.xml file, where my ethernet connection is set to 'manual' instead of 'static' or 'dhcp'.

But nothing I do works.

Before I screwed the system up, the ip was 192.168.1.25.

Now if I check in the router, I can see that the HC-1 has been given the ip 192.168.1.6 but also another MAC-adress??

But the ip 192.168.1.6 is not reachable in any way.

Not by GUI, CLI og SSH!

Any suggestions?

If you have a serial adapter, you could fix it. Otherwise, you will have to put the SD card in Linux system to create a netplan file in /etc/netplan.

Create the following files:

/etc/netplan/10-openmediavault-default.yaml

Code

network:
  version: 2
  renderer: networkd

/etc/netplan/20-openmediavault-ens18.yaml

Code

network:
  ethernets:
    ens18:
      dhcp4: true
      dhcp6: false
      nameservers:
        addresses:
        - 8.8.8.8

Thanks alot.

I will give the Linux way a try when I get home

I don't know what kind of serial adapter I would have to use.
