VMware ESXi, 3 NIC, 3 physical network

1st Official Post

    Good morning,

    I have openmediavault installed on an esxi vmware host, I connected 3 nic to omv that are connected to 3 different physical networks on 3 different switches, with 3 different ip classes.

    Only one of these networks has an active dhcp server and regularly assigns the address to omv.


    When I set up a second static-ip network adapter, WITHOUT gateway, the first network adapter goes offline and is no longer pingable.


    The two secondary networks are local and do not have internet connectivity


    omv version: 6.4.1-2 (Shaitan)

    Linux 6.1.0-0.deb11.7-amd64

    esxi version: 7.0 U3


    thanks in advice

    You need to tell us what settings you are using for each of the three network interfaces.

    omv 7.4.14-1 sandworm | 64 bit | 6.11 proxmox kernel

    plugins :: omvextrasorg 7.0 | kvm 7.0.15 | compose 7.2.16 | k8s 7.3.1-1 | cputemp 7.0.2 | mergerfs 7.0.5 | scripts 7.0.9

    this is the configuration of the network cards.


    the first two nics (ens224 and ens192) coexist without problems, and omv is pingable from both networks.

    when i try to add the third nic (ens256), the first two go offline and omv is pingable only from this last nic


    as you can see from the configuration, i also tried to set all the static addresses, but without success


    thanks

    Code
        ens224:
      match:
        macaddress: 00:0c:29:5d:ed:2a
      addresses:
      - 192.168.88.88/24
      dhcp4: no
      dhcp6: no
      link-local: []
    Code
        ens256:
      match:
        macaddress: 00:0c:29:5d:ed:34
      addresses:
      - 192.168.20.18/24
      dhcp4: no
      dhcp6: no
      link-local: []

    What does sudo netplan apply tell you if you run it from the console?

    omv 7.4.14-1 sandworm | 64 bit | 6.11 proxmox kernel

    plugins :: omvextrasorg 7.0 | kvm 7.0.15 | compose 7.2.16 | k8s 7.3.1-1 | cputemp 7.0.2 | mergerfs 7.0.5 | scripts 7.0.9

    I ran the command, but the terminal returns nothing.

    immediately after I performed a reboot, and for about a minute all the NICs go online, then the situation described in the first post returns

    You would have to look through syslog or some other log to figure out what is taking the interface offline.

    from the log it looks like the NIC stays up, but still remaining not pingable and services not reachable.

    after a sudo reboot, all the nics goes online for a minute, then the first nic goes down.

    i attached the syslog and sys info pages




    EDIT:

    after another sudo reboot, the services are available again, but the ping remains offline.

    I keep it monitored for a few days but I'm fine with that too
