VMware 7 running on UCS-E180D M3 , cannot get the internal nics online, they are Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5719 Gigabit Ethernet running the latest vmware U3 NTG3 driver , below
| ntg3 version 4.1.9.0-4vmw |
The crazy thing is that the information shows the cdp details, but the nic is showing down. I have them setup in an etherchannel which is online, but the actual vmware interfaces are down. Is this a cisco/vmware bug? I've tested setting interface to full duplex and auto negotiation, but the interface never shows the connected speed only shows disconnected.
