So you have 2 storage array systems connected to FC switches above the FIs (VNX, VPLEX) connected to the same blades? Are you using same vHBA, or do you have one set of vHBAs defined for each storage system? Different Vsans used? Are you seeing flogi for wwpn from vHBA you are expecting to to connect to VPLEX, on the FIs (nxos#show npv flogi) ? What FC switches are above the FI?  If they are Cisco you should be able to issue command # show zoneset active vsan xx Above command should confirm if you are seeing your wwpn storage targets and wwpn initiators active in the correct zones/vsans.   Kirk... ...

Are you using a MAC workstation/notebook when using the KVM? I've seen similar issues with keyboard mapping issues. If that is the case, then Go to the Mission Control settings and set 'Show Desktop' to be something besides F11 .

Greetings. You will want to have same guestVM networks and vmotion defined, and share same vcenter server.

Without some sort of dplug access to get to root level, there's not a lot you can do unless you want to erase config a couple of times, then upload a bunch of firmware bundles, although those will go to /bootflash, and there are other partitions that contain configs.  Those use flash/SSDs.   Kirk... ...

I have seen a number of cases where customers were unable to get 3750s, 3850s, etc to work. If a switches meets the specs listed on the card (i.e.IEEEE 802.1Qbb, IEEE 802.1Qaz, etc, along with the supported SFPs), then there may be scenarios were it partially works (i.e. access port mode, etc), but I wouldn't spend money on equipment without crossing Ts/Dotting i's for interop requirements. Maybe someone else that has tried some combinations can report. I suspect a call to TAC would immediately land you on the spec sheet switch compatibility page ;)   Kirk... ... View more

You may need to lspci | grep -i intel to narrow the results. The output from dmesg may show something about device/driver load issues. If you can use the vics for connectivity temporarily, maybe try updating the intel drivers, https://my.vmware.com/en/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=DT-ESXI60-INTEL-IXGBEN-1715&productId=491 By the time the customized images are actually published, it is usually a number of months after they were first prepared, and newer firmware may necessitate newer drivers than what was bundled. #vmkload_mod -s ixgben |grep Version Steps to update driver in esxi: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/servers-unified-computing/ucs-manager/116349-technote-product-00.html#anc21   Assuming this is an issue with an older Intel ixgben driver that is inbox with the ESXi image, than the above mentioned driver should resolve as it does have x550 support. If you are a customer reading this post, and only have the x550 LOM  ports available, then the ESXi installer (6.5 U2 custom) may not let you install as it may say no valid NICs present. See https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCvq32778/?reffering_site=dumpcr In that case you would need to slipstream the above driver in the install ISO (see https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.5/com.vmware.vsphere.install.doc/GUID-48AC6D6A-B936-4585-8720-A1F344E366F9.html ) or test another version of the customized ISO that has a newer x550 ixgben driver present , https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=OEM-ESXI67U1-CISCO&productId=859     Kirk...   ...

Greetings. Assuming these are in stand alone mode (if UCSM integrated, the TP/lom ports are disabled by design). May want to rerun the HUU and force the intel x550 LOM ports to get reflashed.   In esxi CLI, can you run 'lspci' and see what get's listed for intel NICs, and what driver is bound(thinking ixgben--1.7.10 ) Can you try connecting to 1Gb switchport, and confirm if link lights are on the LOM ports?  I've seen some times where 10Gb cabling didn't fully support 10Gb and vmware didn't like the state of the ports, and didn't even assign VMNIC numbers to them (similar to what you see when an invalid SFP is used on VIC cards) Please check in the CIMC, bios, advanced, PCIE/OptionROM area, and make sure the LOM ports are not disabled.   If all else fails, try booting an updated LINUX on a stick type ISO, and see if it detects the ports (will help rule in or out the ESXi install & driver).   Kirk... ...
