ESXi 5.5.0, 1331820; vCenter 5.5 1476327 appliance. I've noticed an issue with VM NIC's disconnecting after being shutdown in vcenter. Last week I shut a w2012r2 vm down to clone it and restarted it. No network. Look in vcenter and sure enough it is disconnected. Seems like this has been happening since I went to 5.5 (new install). The VM doesn't show any modification events to reflect something happening to the NIC. VMXNET3 adapter.
Any ideas?
