for some reason my vsm can't the the vem. I could before, but then my server crashed without doing a copy run start and when it booted up all my config but the uplinks was lost.

When I tried to configure the connection again it wasn't working.

I'm also attaching a screen capture of the vds
and a capture of the regular switch.

I will appreciate very much any help you could give me and will provide any configuration details that you might need.

Thank you so much.

Hello Carlos,

Are you able to ping ESXi vmkernel IP address from VSM ?

Carlos,

   Looking at vds.jpg, you do not have any VEM vmkernel interface attached to port-profile L3-VSM. So fix VSM-VEM communication problem, you either migrate your VEM management vmkernel interface to L3-VSM port-profile of the vds, or create new VMkernel port on your VEM/host and attach it to L3-VSM port-profile.
