NPAR NICs show as disconnected
Hi,
New to the forums and to Virtual Connect and already, on a completly new environment being built, I have an issue that I cannot find clarity on.
So, what we have is the following:
- C7000 Enclsoure
- Virtual Connect Swicthes in bays 1, 2 + 5 , 6
- BL460C Gen 9 with 1 x 536FLB (LOM) and 1 x 534M in Mez Slot 2 - both adapters are dual port
I'm looking to use NPAR to define a number of adapters that my ESXi 6.5 hosts will see as different vmnics, so for example:
LOM 1a = vmnic0
LOM 2a = vmnic1
MEZ 1a = vmnic2
MEZ 2a = vmnic3
LOM 1b = vmnic4
LOM 2b = vmnic5
MEZ 1b = vmnic6
MEZ 2b = vmnic7
From what I can tell, all firmware/drivers are current.
The problem comes after applying the Server Profile and rebooting, there are times that the ESXi host shows some of the NICs as disconnected. I found this link http://h20564.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c04942515 which describes our issue, but it is dated Jan 2016 and I have not been able to find anything newer to say that the issue has been resolved.
I guess others have seen this in the past, but is there an actual resolution to the problem as Jan 2016 seems a long time to go without a fix.
Thanks in advance
Nikrik
