Two freenas systems on same net not playing happy.

[Dirk]

Decided to re task the old server and split up the work with Movies on one and tv-shows on the other. Server 1 (the newer server in my sig) running fine for weeks. Today work was to install Sonarr and Sab. Things have progressed downhill with things like opening a shell in the jails > sonarr resulting in a blank unresponsive terminal. I've repeatedly on both machines been met with "make sure the machine is turned on" or some such when I should get a login screen which I found I can get past by going into Firefox and "about:support" and doing a "clear startup cache"
Where it has gotten weird for me is that the new server was stuck at the "make sure the machine is powered on" and I was working with the other one and decided to power it down. The other server immediately went to a login screen when it was out of the way. Lastly BOTH machines are exhibiting the blank shell/console that is unresponsive if both machines are running

So, many things saying the two machines are fighting each other. If it matters, I can SSH in and iocage console jailname with no problem.
As always, thanks to the community for your help.

Do you have the same hostname for both machines? If so change that. If not then you may have to add some auxiliary parameters to your SMB config to set one to master server. Google is your friend here.

Thanks jailer. No, different hostnames and IP. And working from memory the same port but different IP should not be an issue?
