Hi,
I’m running Home Assistant on a NUC I3 on ESXI (VMDK VMWare Workstation)
But i’m having alot of problems with the network, most of the times after a reboot in 5 to 10 minutes Hassio loses it’s IP address.
When i look at the console screen i see these messages.
[ 1040.216660] hassio: port 39vethd7687770) entered disabled state
[ 1040.224633] veth3ec88f5: renamed from eth0
[ 1040.243182] hassio: port 39vethd7687770) entered disabled state
…
Sometimes, when i’m lucky, after 5-20 reboots it keeps on running, until i have to reboot because of a major config change or an update.
Anyone an idea on how to fix this?
EDIT: when i look at the console and do “ip a” i see all the IP’s including the IPV4 i need.
But below it has a timer “valid_lft” counting down, and as soon as it reaches 0, IP address is gone and only a IPV6 address is visible and also counting down from 7030 sec.
EDIT2: i just set the lease time to 31536000 (one year) for the Home-Assistant reserve in my DHCP server.
Timer is now counting down from 31536000…
Somehow Hassio doesn’t request (or receives) a IP address from the DHCP server when the counter reaches 0.
crossing fingers that it keeps working
EDIT3: Couple of hours passed, and still working.
Looks like it’s a DHCP request problem (Only HASSIO is losing it’s IP, all other devices don’t have this problem).
