ProLiant DL 100 G2 - What add-in NIC is I need to purchase?

[Sergey Rusak]

Hello all.

Our factory bought proliant dl 100 g2 but when i tryed team 2 NICs broadcom program told me that one of NICs is SMART and it couldn't team ethernets.

What models of NICs will work fine in team on this server? If it possible please give a link to right model or number or full name.

Thx.

Sorry to butt in on this thread...

I've just had the same problem this morning on a customer's DL100 G2.

They are using the Broadcom util (ver 3) and it says that NIC2 does not support teaming and I need to choose a supported adapter...

I've looked up the specs on the server and its supposed to have 2 embedded Broadcom 5751 NICs but if I look at the details on the Broadcom util, NIC 1 shows as a 5751 and NIC 2 as a 5721!

Has anyone seen this before?

I'd like to update the FW on the NICs but there is little to no software for this model on the HP support site.

Teaming has been not qualified/supported by
HP on this platform.
you can download latest driver/firmware from broadcom directly and test at your own risk
