Solving a VNET failure after network re-configure ([EFAULT] Stopped jail due to VNET failure)

[KenwoodFox]

Hey all.
I'm having an issue starting jails, I had two network interfaces on my FreeNAS box connected to different networks, I was dismantling one of them, I disabled that NIC and I lost access to my FreeNAS box, so I iDrac'd in and used the main menu to wipe the two network interfaces I had on there (to set them back to DHCP) I regained connection! but now all my jails cant start.

if I look in their configs, they all have nothing as an ipv4 interface, they boot and I can ping them weirdly, but there is no data throughput (really weird...)
if I set their ipv4 interface to the only option there, vnet0:bridge0 then they can't boot and error out.

What's the verdict?
I do have a backup config but its a bit outdated :/ worst case I could perhaps use that to fix this issue.

Thanks guys

Did you recently update to 11.3? Depending on your requirements, you could use NAT instead or create a bridge interface...

I did!
Can you explain NAT?
And I do need to recreate the bridge interface? Im really not sure whats causing my error right now so i dont know how to treat it :/

Maybe try upgrading to 11.3-U1 and see if some of the bug fixes solve your problem.

here is one that is related to jails but probably not your problem:

I preformed a reboot and removed the vnet0:bridge0 interface, and they seem to be working now? Im not sure what happened exactly..

Thanks I think i might do this anyway, ill check and see if my issue is the same as this one.

If your jails are on a previous release they may still work, but you may run into issues again when you update your jails. Return if you have any issues.

I tried updating my Zoneminder plugin a while ago, i thought that "update" would just update the pkg but it absolutely destroyed the plugin, im not planning on trying that again :/

I am having a similar issue. My plex install won't connect to my network after the U1 update. Was working fine prior to U1 update. Also, I can no longer install any other jails for the same issue. It claims it cannot get a DHCP response, or even if I specify a static IP address it fails.
Same as above, if I remove the vent:0bridge:0 it launches the plex jail, but it has no connectivity.
Any help would be appreciated.

 

[dromney]

I feel I need to clarify, when I remove vnet:0bridge:0 from my plex jail network interface (------ instead of vnet:0bridge:0) the jail will launch, but will not gain connectivity, but if I leave the vnet:0bridge0 there, it gives me the VNET error.

If you dont have any special requirements, maybe try use NAT from the jails Basic Properties. Otherwise you will need to create a bridge in the freenas system under network -> interfaces and attach the jail to that....

 

[dromney]

I had a separate static IP assigned to this Jail, so maybe I'll create a bridge. If I can't get that to work then I will try the NAT route. Thank you

 

[Kcaj]

This might help too, then :)

 

[dromney]

Thank you for your help. I have it working again via NAT. So no separate IP for the Plex jail, but I can live with that.
