Hello community.. Well I am stumped again. I am currently running a vSphere 5.5 U3 environment with the latest patch release. I am going through the VCP-DCV certification prep and decided to migrate my environment (home lab) from standard virtual switches to Distributed Virtual Switches as I have not had that much experience with them thus far. The migration seemed to go fine. Prior to migrating I was using three different 1Gbps links in a LACP-IP Hash group on my standard vSwitch. I have multiple VLANs for different lab networks. One specifically is used as a DMZ for WAN connectivity to my ISP. I created a VM for use as a firewall with multiple network cards, one of which is connected to this WAN VLAN. On the standard vSwitch this seemed to work exactly as expected. For some reason after moving to a DVS, the firewall VM has to be rebooted every morning before full network connectivity is restored. It's a strange problem. I have tried re-creating the VM and messing with the DvPortgroup security settings, but the issue still exists. Anyone out there have any ideas as to what might cause this?
Oh, one more detail.. I moved from LACP/IP Hash load balancing to Route based on physical NIC load with the migration to DVS. So deleted the Link Aggregation Groups from the switch too.
