Resolved Failed to start network scripts

Server operating system version

Almalinux 8.10

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.66

Hello,
I am running almalinux 8.10 with Plesk 18.00.66 (the latest, I believe) and I observe the following errors at boot:

network[870]: Bringing up interface eno16780032:
network[1050]: Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found for this connect>
network[870]: [FAILED]
systemd[1]: network.service: Control process exited, code=exited status=1
systemd[1]: network.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Failed to start LSB: Bring up/down networking.
It is advised to switch to 'NetworkManager' instead for network management

And this is the result of systemctl status network:

network.service - LSB: Bring up/down networking
Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/network; generated)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2025-01-16 10:39:21 CET; 4 days ago

I saw a suggestion to 'reread' the IP addresses, which I did, and also to disable firewalld. No change to the above status.
Shall I migrate to NetworkManager and, if so, how, please?

Thank you for your attention and advice

This is more an issue for AlmaLinux forums, as network configuration is not directly managed by Plesk.

I would suspect that you need to do something similar to How To Disable NetworkManager In AlmaLinux 8 but in opposite, Install or enable NetworkManager, and then disable network-scripts

Thanks. I found out that I am already running NetworkManager and that disabling/stopping network-scripts won't affect my system. It only gives those errors when checking the network.service status. I guess I would need some clean-up along the way, but things look ok for now.
