Description

After updating from 11.2-BETA2 to 11.2-BETA3, I can't access my VMs anymore because its NIC got renamed.

During setup of Debian Stretch, the guest OS, the NIC was named enp0s3, as the configuration in /etc/network/interfaces still reflects. Since the update, ip addr show reveals that the NIC is now called enp0s4 though, so my network configuration is now defunct.

This has happened to me before during an update from 11.0-U4 to 11.1: https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/bhyve-debian-vm-changes-its-nic-name-from-eth0-to-eth1-after-updating-to-11-1.60170/

Since then, I have recreated the FreeNAS configuration from scratch, my current config is not a subsequent update of the same installation but an entirely new one (albeit on the same hardware).

History

#1 Updated by Arne Klein over 2 years ago

  • Subject changed from B3 Update renamed VM NICs to 11.2-BETA3 Update renamed NICs in VM
  • Seen in set to 11.2-BETA3

#2 Updated by Chris Burge over 2 years ago

This behaviour relates to introduction of VM "device order" numbering for VMs in BETA3. On upgrading, when starting Linux VMs the bhyve pci slot the NIC device is attached may have changed. If the linux distro uses "predictable interface names" (all major distros), then the internal interface names changes, for example from enp0s3 to enp0s4, and network connectivity is lost. Stopping the VM and changing the "device order" number of the NIC device can restore network connectivity, but there is a catch. The catch being, it's not clear how the new "device order" numbering maps to a given bhyve pci slot, nor what previous slot number was used.

Currently there is no user documentation for this new VM "device order" numbering feature.

Test Passed FreeNAS-11.2-MASTER-201810020854

Test Case: Created a VM (ubuntu) in BETA2 or prior and configured networking. After upgrading the VM should still have the network configured in the VM. The devices order should remain the same.
VM booted without issue, device order remained the same after update
