Hello,
I am trying to update my Dell R720 with update manager to the new Dell A02 U1 6.5 update/build. Upon rebooting to the new build, ESXi fails to boot with the following error and just sits there.
ISO I am using is VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.5.0.update01-6765664.x86_64-DellEMC_Customized-A02
"There was a problem with the Network Device specified on the command line. Error: No NIC found with MAC address."
The card it says it is missing is my 10Gb Brocade 1020 that works and has the driver installed pre-reboot.
Any ideas?
I created a custom image with the driver VIB injected. Works fine now. I also upgraded to x520 NICs with are supported and on the HCL, so I dont have to deal with this in the future.
Could you share the confirmation that the device(N/W card) and the server are compatible with the version of esxi..
please check the serial logging for ESXi during boot to check for any detailed errors.
Both the server and NIC are on the HCL.
Anyone?
Hello,
What' the current NIC Driver -Firmware version on the server ?
Run the command -
1. esxcli network nic get -n <vmnicX>
2. vmkchdev -l | grep -i vmnic
Please check with the Hardware vendor and make sure you are using the latest NIC Firmware .
