Weird networking issues

[EricC527]

I manage a few different HP servers (DL365's and DL385's) and they all seem to have a similar networking issue. Ping response times seem to fluctuate a lot and a lot of times appear to be very inaccurate. This also seems to cause issues with Group Policy items and will also cause file transfers from server-to-server to take an inordinate amount of time.

Does anyone know of an existing issue with the NIC's in DL365's or DL385's? I've tried different drivers and I've done firmware updates. I've called HP support a few times but they are apparently not aware of any issues.

Thanks for the link! That appears to have resolved the issue.

I called HP a couple more times yesterday and spoke with someone who also gave me the same link so apparently HP is aware of the issue.
