      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hello , &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Im having issue with 3PAR SA and HP 560 GEN 10&amp;nbsp; with &lt;SPAN style="color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, 'sans serif'; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;"&gt;QLE2692 Dual Port 16Gb Fibre Channel to PCIe Adapter.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, 'sans serif'; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;"&gt;So what i did is i connected them directly with Fiber Channel. Server has 16G SFP+ and 3PAR has 10GB SFP+ if that matter. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, 'sans serif'; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;"&gt;ESXI 7.0 shows that FC is offline. Once for a second i showed online and then went offline again. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, 'sans serif'; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;"&gt;What do you think might be an issue? On 3PAR management i did exported storage with its WWNN.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, 'sans serif'; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;"&gt;Maybe some kind of compatibility issues? &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, 'sans serif'; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;"&gt;Thank you &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;The&lt;A href="https://support.hpe.com/connect/s/softwaredetails?softwareId=MTX_c366f48bfba54dfca7bb8ef5a7" target="_self"&gt; latest firmware for that HBA&lt;/A&gt; is:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;DIV class=""&gt;&lt;DIV class=""&gt;&lt;TABLE border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"&gt;&lt;TBODY&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;HPE SN1100Q 16Gb 2P FC HBA&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;2.00.01&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TBODY&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;P&gt;iLo is already at latest 2.81, but I would run the &lt;A href="https://support.hpe.com/connect/s/softwaredetails?softwareId=MTX_50b300127e24428582ca72564a" target="_self"&gt;latest Gen10 SPP&lt;/A&gt; to update all other firmware including BIOS.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Also, I would not under any circumstances run any version of ESXi 7.x lower than 7.0.3c, and preferably 7.0.3i,j,k, or l.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Use the latest HPE custom image for ProLiant linked &lt;A href="https://www.hpe.com/us/en/servers/hpe-esxi.html" target="_self"&gt;here , it is&amp;nbsp;VMware-ESXi-7.0.3-21424296-HPE-703.0.0.11.3.0.5-Apr2023.iso&lt;/A&gt; which is the absolute latest released build of ESXi 7.0.3 codebase, ESXi 7.0 Update 3l released 2023-03-30&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm not sure if this will fix your issue, but this will allow you to rule out old firmware/drivers.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
