Maybe this is a networking / ESXI question more than a napp-it AIO question, but I thought I'd start here just in case someone with a similar installation to mine has seen this.
I'm running an AIO setup on ESXi 6.7. SMB shares to windows clients, NFS shared internally between VMs. Occasionally, and quite often, a large file transfer will cause the mapped drives to become unresponsive. I end up going through a series of reboot cycles of the VMs, host, switch and router to be able to restore normal operation. It has me losing my mind. I just don't understand why that could happen. I have a suspicion that it could be related to my network setup, but it seems stable in most other situations.
ESXi is set to NIC team over the 2 physical ports, using "IP Hash" as the method. VLANs are set up at the vSwtich, the physical switch, and my Tomato router. Switch is set with a static LAG, and the two links to the ESXi server are trunked/teamed.
