How to connect to esxi 6.0 via ssh or webui or vSphere after software iSCSI setup and server reboot?

Good afternoon,

There is a home HP Microserver 8 with esxi 6.0. Decided to connect external iSCSI (Seagate-R4). Initially I added R4 to the main grid, but then I decided to play around and make a separate vSwitch with two ports for Round Robin connection of R4 (I installed a compatible additional board with 4 costs). The grid was 192.168.10.X. The server worked flawlessly until reboot.

After a reboot, esxi didn't find iSCSI and I reverted iSCSI to the main grid (192.168..2.X). Rebooted esxi again and it detected iSCSI from the old path and connected it to the system. As a result, all virtual machines start up and work without problems, you can connect to them (RDP, ssh) and you can access the Internet from them.

However, from now on I can’t access esxi using any protocol (ssh, http, https). I can only use the remote console through iLo. I am enclosing a list of listening ports at the moment:

and now I can’t download anything from the Internet with esxi - it doesn’t find anything outside itself and doesn’t ping even internal ip in the grid. I tried to restart SSH in the Management Console, but it didn't work. I tried restarting hostd, vpxa, services.sh - I couldn't connect. I tried to find something in the logs, but I didn’t find anything that would suggest where to dig (but I could have missed it in so many logs).

Question:
Is it possible that the iSCSI connection has completely taken away the news of nic and no other services on it now work on esxi?

I'm not too big on setting up esxi via the console (and not via the console either - at the level of searching for all solutions through google until today), so before trying to remove iSCSI and everything related to it (vSwitch, ports, nics, etc which will stop the main virtual machine that was using the virtual disk from this iSCSI) I would like to understand if there is a chance that this will solve the problem? Maybe the problem should be skat somewhere else?

Thank you,
Dmitry

PS. In addition to Net and Java, is there still an opportunity to connect to the console with the ability to at least work with the clipboard? Typing kilometer commands for esxcli would be easier.
