Re: vSphere ESXi 5.0 comparability matrix list
This Matrix is not correct. There is an issue with the onboard LOM (NC553i) which makes it unusable on all G7 servers. HP needs to provides an updated driver and it is even not in included in the released HP ESXi version.

Re: vSphere ESXi 5.0 comparability matrix list
Hi,
THE NC553i is supported on bl406c, 490c, 620c and 680c G7 servers and these servers are compatible with vsphere esxi 5.0
If it is vmware esxi 5.0 image driver needs to be installed separately.
Device Driver Version: be2iscsi version 4.0.317.0
Click here for the driver download.
Click here for compatiblity guide.
If it is HP ESXi 5.0 image driver is loaded in the image.
Image Edition: ESXi 5.0 Build 469512
Click here for the image download.
Bundled driver list:
hp-esx-license.vib
hp-smx-provider-500.02.10.13.44-434156.vib
char-hpcru-5.0.0.8-1OEM.500.0.0.434156.x86_64.vib
char-hpilo-500.9.0.0.8-1OEM.500.0.0.434156.x86_64.vib
hpnmi-500.2.0.11-434156.vib
hpbootcfg-01-00.10.vib

Emulex Corporation_bootbank_scsi-be2iscsi_4.0.317.0-1OEM.500.0.0.406165.vib
Additional Important notes and recommendations:
VMware AutoDeploy is not supported with this release through HP-Emulex 10Gb adapters, including G7 BL-series servers with HP-Emulex 10Gb adapters as the embedded networking solution
Emulex be2net driver included in VMware OS media does not have support for gPXE, which is a pre-requisite for VMware AutoDeploy support.
HP-Brocade Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters are not supported with HP-Management software inthis release
HP-Brocade devices require device drivers that are not included in this release. HP-Management software for ESXi 5.0 will not support any HP-Brocade Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters with this release.
HP-Qlogic devices require additional driver(s)
HP-Qlogic devices CN1000Q and NC523SFP require device drivers that are not included in thisrelease.

Re: vSphere ESXi 5.0 comparability matrix list
be2iscsi driver is the Emulex OneConnect iSCSI HBA Driver. ima-be2iscsi is the oneconnect IMA plugin. Problem with flex10 and flexfabric on vSphere 5 is that network traffic gets corrupted and you need an updated be2net driver.
Quote from Vsphere 5 release notes:
•Using the bundled Emulex BE2/BE2 NICs (be2net driver) When using vSphere 5.0 with Emulex BE2/BE3 NICs (be2net driver) in a HP FlexFabric/Flex-10 or IBM Virtual Fabric Adapter (VFA) environment, connectivity may not work properly on Windows VMs or the server when VLANs are configured. Workaround: Do not use the driver bundled with vSphere 5.0. Before upgrading to vSphere 5.0, please obtain an updated driver from Emulex, HP, or IBM that should be used on HP FlexFabric/Flex-10 or IBM VFA systems.

Re: vSphere ESXi 5.0 comparability matrix list
Same problem here. BL460cG7.
Is there an updated Be2net driver out there that works? Anyone have a link?

Re: vSphere ESXi 5.0 comparability matrix list
We have the same problem on our BL460cG7's - it seems to be effecting Windows guests the worst though.

Same issue here.
I have opened up a support case, lets see how long it takes them to release a new ISO.
