hp network utilities for NIC Embedded Broadcomm Nextreme 5721 DL145G2

[Mario Giaretta]

Hello,
i have a HP Proliant DL145G2 with two nic embedded Broadcomm Nextreme 5721 Gigabit Ethernet with windows 2003 drivers.
I would like to configure the teaming or fault tolerance with these two nic, but i can't find the "HP Networks Utilities".
Any idea about this?

Thank you
Mario Giaretta

Hello,
i try to install the drivers cp007172, but there is the error "The software will not be installed on this system because the required hardware is not present in the system or the software/firmware doesn't
apply to this system".
I try to find another teaming driver, but can't find it because there isn't this utilities for NIC Nextreme BCM5721.

Thanks

I have installed the drivers and the nic is seen correctly about "Nextreme Broadcomm Gigabit Ethernet".
I think there isn't the teaming for these nic.

Thank you

The correct step is:

First install broadcomm drivers and not HP drivers.

Second install "BAPS-BACS" teaming utilities from broadcomm and configuring the teaming.
