I am totally NOT happy about my ESXi4.1 machine lost all its network connectivity, out of the blue!
Showing on console 0.0.0.0 as its ip address, as this should be a STATIC address?

Dumb enough i did a reset of all configuration, so lost all my VM's.
Well i thought, i just restart the whole box.

Now i see vmnic1 is on vSwitch0 and vmnic0 is on vSwitch1, DAMN, it even switched my complete networks?

So now i have to change all VM's nics?
What the F%$* is going on? What ever could have triggered this?

--

It looks like ESX is checking active nic during boot and always set the first active nic to vSwitch0?
which i thing is very stupid! What if your active nic breaks down? the next step would be that all VM's are working on your management network? great!

--

Even all logs don't tell me anything why, all of a sudden, the machine lost its ip-address!
So i can NOT prepare for next time this will occure?
