Back then I had a habit of hot-removing VGA from Windows machines. I mostly RDP in anyway, so I didn’t need VGA. On Proxmox I kept the habit, so I pulled it live => Proxmox died.
I looked super dumb haha

Cause

From what I found, plugging in a VGA => PCIe index changes => remove it => index changes again => network card can’t link
Cause - Back then I had a habit of hot-removing VGA from Windows machines

The official guidance is to pin NIC interfaces using this command

proxmox-network-interface-pinning generate

or

pve-network-interface-pinning generate

Cause - proxmox-network-interface-pinning generate

or

reboot

Now just reboot and it’s done. That command is like magic, right?
