http://0.0.0.0 ESXi 6 after bios update

Hello everyone,

I'm using a SuperMicro SYS-5028D-TN4T as a home lab with ESXi 6.

I have upgraded the bios of my SYS-5028D-TN4T yesterday but there are problems:

- First, the hard disque boot order has been deleted,

- Second and the most problematic: ESXi is unable to acquire his networking. I have a http://0.0.0.0 displayed. I tried to set the IP manually without success.

The problem is NIC are shown disconnected when on the ESXi settings

Does anyone have or had the same issue?

Do you know if there are anythings I can do?

Thank you guys for your help.

Regards,

Pierre-Emmanuel

Hi

Do you see physical nic in bios?

Here is the only part of the BIOS where I can see NIC configurations:

Have you tried to boot with a Linux Live version (like Ubuntu or Clonezilla)? Seems that BIOS update is causing a problem with nic discovery. Try also change LAN configuration under this menu.

Last thing you could install a PCI Nic card and test if vsphere will discover it...
