UCS Director 6.6 upgrade issues on ESXi 6.7

michgri — Thu, 30 Aug 2018 02:06:33 GMT

We upgraded ESXi in the lab over the weekend to 6.7, and my UCS Director VM (installed using the OVF) can't connect to the network any more.

It came up without an IP address; I went into the shell and gave it one, but it still can't ping its gateway. I assume

As another data point, I had a similar issue installing UCS Director on another ESXi 6.7 server in another lab--before I installed it in this one.

Since this is in a lab and I'm using the eval license, I can't open a ticket with the TAC. I am probably just going to install ESXi 6.5 on a blade and reinstall UCS Director there.

Update: issue appears to be related to the E1000 virtual NIC. I removed the E1000, changed it to a VMXNET3 and it comes up with the appropriate IP address and is reachable through the network.

(Which may have broken something else, as I can't log in at the console any more, but I can get in through the normal HTTPS URL. I'll probably just reinstall on ESXi 6.5.)

Hi,

Do you know if this issue has been resolved in 6.7u1?
