Problem with NC512m and ESXI 5.1u2 Custom Hp Image
Hi I have a HP C700 with 4 blades BL685c gen 1 and one blade BL465c gen7, all the blades have HP mezzanine NC512m cards installed in the ILO Management Software I can see that each blade has one port mapped on a HP 10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch . This card supports 2 ports, but I have only one switch module.
The problem is that ESXI 5.1 doesn't recognize the 10Gbe NICS :

~ # esxcli system version get
Product: VMware ESXi
Version: 5.1.0
Build: Releasebuild-1483097
Update: 2
# lspci | grep "10 Gigabit Ethernet"
00:44:00.2 Network controller: NetXen HMEZ 10 Gigabit Ethernet [vmnic7]
00:44:00.3 Network controller: NetXen HMEZ 10 Gigabit Ethernet [vmnic8]
On the other hand I can see those network controllers in the lspci, but I don't see them as network adapters that I can use.
Any suggestions on what might be going on ? Thanks in advance.
