Vmk1 is the issue, it is disabled and for some reason I can't delete it, it doesn't show up in vcenter but my vmknic's are out of order now, for some reason I have seen this happen before esxi 4.1 I have tried every variation of esxcfg-vmknic -d and I keep getting either invalid port group or other errors.

This started when we deleted this vmknic and had a VSM crash on the 1000v.

Anyone seen this before?
