Help Needed! Network Accessibility Issues with ZimaOS on HPE MicroServer Gen10 Plus

Operating System ZimaOS
1

Hello everyone,

I’m struggling to get network access to my ZimaOS dashboard on an HPE MicroServer Gen10 Plus. I’ve tried multiple network configurations, but I’m stuck. Here is my setup and the issue:

Hardware: * HPE MicroServer Gen10 Plus (32GB RAM / 512GB NVMe / 4TB RAID 1)

  • Primary Workstation: MacBook Air

The Situation:

  1. iLO Access: I can access the iLO 5 management interface without any issues (IP: 172.30.123.191).

  2. OS Access: ZimaOS is installed and running on the NVMe. It pulls a DHCP IP (e.g., 172.30.123.195).

  3. The Problem: My workstation is on the 172.30.116.x subnet. I cannot access the ZimaOS Web UI or ping the server from my PC.

  4. What I’ve Tried:

    • If I manually set my PC to a static IP in the .123 range, I can access the dashboard. However, the server has no internet access in this state.

    • If I move the server to my PC’s subnet (172.30.116.x) using nmcli via iLO terminal, I lose all connectivity to the OS, even though the Gateway is reachable from the server’s side.

    • I’ve tried flushing all nmcli connections and creating a clean DHCP/Static profile on eth0 with only one cable plugged into Port 1.

The Paradox: iLO works across subnets, but the OS doesn’t. When I’m in the same subnet, I have a local connection but no internet. It feels like a VLAN or Routing issue specific to the MicroServer’s 4-port NIC or the corporate switch.

Has anyone encountered this specific “cross-subnet” isolation with ZimaOS on HPE gear? Any advice on how to bridge this so I can have both Web UI access and Internet on the server?
