I have 1.9 running with three servers. I got a message saying that my Proxmox host is down (cant ping, cant reach via web browser), but I am able to reach the KVMs.

Any thoughts??
 
I do have a firewall, but have had no issues with the firewall, I've double checked settings in the firewall and nothing has changed. I cant even ssh into the box, I cant ping the box, I cant access the box via web browser, so I dont think that I can get to the log files.

I do not want to restart in case this problem carries over to the virtual machines. I can access each virtual machine fine, but cannot do the above things to access the Proxmox box itself.
 
I dont mean to keep reposing like I am, but this is a major issue for me right now and would love some guidance.


Why would it be that I am not able to reach (ping, traverse via web browser, ssh, any thing) the Proxmox box that is hosting the 3 virtual servers, but AM able to reach the three servers that are running? The Proxmox host has a single NIC in it so all network traffic travels through this one NIC.

Would a restart solve this issue? I am worried that the issue will flow over to the virtual boxes.

I have checked my firewall (sonicwall tz-210) and there is nothing blocking the IP of the Proxmox box. Im out of ideas on ways to solve this issue without the restart of the server, which cant be done during business hours.


Thanks to all for any insight they can pass onto me.

Hi,
you don't have kvm-access (keyboard-video-mouse) to the server?

Can you ping the pve-host from the running VM (because only one nic, they are in the same network?!)?

So I was able to ping through the vm to the pve-host. I then used putty to ssh into the pve-host. Here are the ouputs of what you requested in your first post:

So I was able to ping through the vm to the pve-host.

Hi,
the gateway is wrong!
A gateway must be in the same network - e.g. 10.10.1.1 or 10.10.1.254

JESUS......Feel like a noob. But how would that have changed in the middle of the day?? I use Spiceworks to keep tabs on equipment, was emailing a client and got a message that the server went off line. Checked and went through what I described above in first post...doesnt make sense. Anyhoo...


Thanks for the help udo, I really appreciate it! +rep for the help!!
