NetworkManager just stops and server loses IP DHCP addres

Post by wikibit » 2023/02/26 11:49:23

Hi,

I tried to search for this issue, but I could not find anything similar, and the forum does not allow me to browse through more than one search resultspage

I'm running a few Centos 9 Stream servers (no desktop/gui) on VMWare ESX.
They are all configured with DHCP (fixed dhcp lease on the dhcp server)
I did make sure they are up to date (dnf update runs daily)

On each of the 3 servers, I've the weird occurrence of NetworkManager just stopping, when that happens, the server also looses the DHCP ip address, and they become unreachable.

In the example below, it happens at 03:36

just restarting the NetworkManager via the console, immediately solves the issue, the server gets his ip address again, and is reachable again.

I cannot find anything which could cause the service to be shutdown (or does it crash?)

Code: Select all

If it's always between 03:00-04:00 then I would suspect something to do with logrotate.
the forum does not allow me to browse through more than one search resultspage
Use Google with the argument "site:forums.centos.org" plus your other search arguments.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Ok thanks, I'm trying that, but doing so, so far I've not found a similar case here

The joys of running Stream... you get to find all the nice shiny new bugs before anyone else.
