Just installed Proxmox VE 4.0 fresh on a Dell R720 dual Octo Core 192GB Memory server with 6 Network Interface cards 2 10Gb Intel, 2 1Gb Intel, and 2 10Gb Broadcom
First thing I did was to re-order the NICs via the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file.
I then re-applied the Proxmox VE Enterprise license to bring the machine up to the same Proxmox package versions as the rest of the cluster nodes we have in service.
I also created bridges for the NICs for VM use later. Finally, I installed the Dell OMSA 8.3 packages for Dell server administration.
I did an apt-get update && apt-get -y dist-upgrade to bring it current and rebooted. After reboot, I had no networking. I thought at first I'd misconfigured something in the /etc/network/interfaces but no, it was perfect. I started the networking service and all the networking came up. I did a couple of more reboots and same thing, had to start the networking service manually in order to bring up networking. I then started looking through dmesg and found the following:
[ 5.502405] systemd[1]: Found ordering cycle on basic.target/start
[ 5.502411] systemd[1]: Found dependency on sysinit.target/start
[ 5.502416] systemd[1]: Found dependency on networking.service/start
[ 5.502421] systemd[1]: Found dependency on openvswitch-switch.service/start
[ 5.502425] systemd[1]: Found dependency on basic.target/start
[ 5.502430] systemd[1]: Breaking ordering cycle by deleting job networking.service/start
[ 5.502435] systemd[1]: Job networking.service/start deleted to break ordering cycle starting with basic.target/start
It seems that something is broken in Systemd and during startup it's deleting the networking.service but I admittedly am still a big time novice when it comes to Systemd so am not sure how this got broken and where to fix it and if it's a bug I'm sure someone can say so and I'd be more than happy to file a bug report if it comes down to that. Either way, I can't see it being logical to reinstall Proxmox and have to re-issue and re-apply the enterprise license when I could end up with the same outcome so am wondering how to fix it instead.
Thanks in advance for any help
