SolutionHello,
maybe you have a corrupt FW of the Emulex Network card. You have to flash them with an older version.

Check your POST of the Blade until the Emulex card came up. See VMware post:
https://communities.vmware.com/message/2560877
The FW for the Emulex card mentioned in the post is no longer available. Use the older version above.
Flash your Emulex card with this version and then you can flash it with the last one. I have done this with some of my Blades.
Thomas

Re: Upgrading Blade firmware
Thanks for your reply Thomas. One of my concerns is technique. I used the firmware version 2016.10.05 from here:
http://h20564.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=4324631&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4103
and it said there was nothing found.
I also tried the firmware DVD from here
http://h20564.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=4194638&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4103
but it also said there was nothing to update. I will try your link below but I am wondering what I am doing wrong that nothing I seem to try has worked

Re: Upgrading Blade firmware
Thank you Thomas I was able to succesfully upgrade the Emulex firmware. This unfortunately did not fix my issue but I know what it is not now. I am going to chase a hardware issue and do some experiments to determine if it is blade/chassis/Flex-10 module.
Thank you so much for your assistance.
