Home Assistant not working / Docker host not reachable (Home Assistant OS)

Hi, I am running the current setup:

Home Assistant OS deployed as a VM in vmware esxi 6.5.

Yesterday I rebooted my esxi host, and when I started it again today and booted up all my VMs, I was not able to reach Home Assistant on the local IP: 192.168.X.X. All my other VMs on the same vswitch & vlan in vmware works perfectly.

It seems like the Home Assistant OS does not have an IP anymore, something is strange with the network interfaces.

Please see below images:

Anyone have a clue on what is going on? I have access to the VM through the vmware remote console.

Thanks in advance!

Ok, solved it. the NIC was for some reason disabled in vmware esxi…
