Are you using host profiles?  It's been known to re-order the vmk nics and move the management vmk to another number.

yes vmkernel is set. vmotion is set on using vmk1.

vmk0, vmk1, vmk2, vmk3 are in use

vmk0 is management

vmk1 is vmotion

vmk2 is iscsi

vmk3 is iscsi

all on the same network.

but why is esxcfg-route show vmk2

no not using host profiles. I know its recommended that iscsi and vmotion are on different vlan but i cannot separate them out.
