Hi Tenaro, Let me reach out to Niles and let her know about the pending questions and I am sure that she will be glad to answer them all! Thanks Regards, -Bruce   Update: I reached out to her but it looks like she is out of the office today. That probably explains the lack of response. ... View more

Hi jrai00001,   Let me see if i can look into this for you. I tried to access it myself and nothing came up.   Thanks.   Regards,   -Bruce ... View more

Hi John,   The Cisco VSUM will upgrade VSMs, VEMs and the Hosts. If you choose not to upgrade a Host, just choose the no upgrade needed hosts checkbox.   Please see the attached screenshot...   Thanks. -Bruce ... View more

Hi  carmenanderson  ,   So, I checked with the Product manager and he said that unfortunately this is not an orderable part. Hence the lack of a PID.   Thanks.   -Bruce ... View more

The KVM dongle does not appear to be an orderable part, hence the lack of external PID. I am looking into this for you. ... View more

Yes, the dongle is what I was referring to. Let me take a look and see if I can track down that part number for you.   Thanks for the clarification!   -Bruce ... View more

Hi  carmenanderson ,   Do you mean that you are looking for the part number of the KVM connector itself?   Thanks,   -Bruce ... View more

Thanks for the heads up, Tray. I will check it out.,   Thanks.   -Bruce   ... View more

Hi ablomfield,   Thank you for that update and information. That does make perfect sense. Of course why ESXi 5.5 would have a later bnx2 driver than 5.5 U2 does not. I will have to try to do that myself. If it remains consistent, as i suspect it wil;l, then I will opena defect, so that they can correct the driver version in the U2 iso.   Thanks for that!   -Bruce ... View more

Thank you for that information. I will keep that under consideration, also. I will keep you updated as I learn more.   Thanks   -Bruce ... View more

Hi Richard,   You are very welcome. As soon as I have more information, or if I end up filing  a defect, I will update you.   Thanks. -Bruce ... View more

Hi Richard, I just had someone open a case for the exact same issue that you have reported. I am not yet sure if he is seeing ['Broadcom_bootbank_net-bnx2_2.2.5d.v55.2-10EM.550.0.0.1331820', Broadcom_bootbank_net-bnx2_2.2.5d.v55.2-10EM.550.0.0.1331820']> I am waiting for more information. However, he is also running a UCSC-C220-M3SBE. I am trying to confirm CIMC firmware version. I will update, when I have something more concrete to report.   Thanks, -Bruce     Update: So, the issue is exactly the same. They are using an Intel Quad port adapter and the error is related to the bnx2 Broadcom driver. They are running CIMC firrnware 2.0(3f).   We were able to upgrade to ESXi 5.5 U1 but not U2, so there appears to be an issue with the iso. I am looking into that. ... View more

Hi Gabriel, Some parts may be considered consumable by Cisco, in the sense that the defective parts are not required to be returned to asset recovery, after it they been replaced.   You can usually tell this, when a particular RMA does not show any return date for the defective part/s.   Thanks.   -Bruce   ...
