      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Maybe I'm missing something, but I cannot see any HPE servers with Opteron 63xx which are supported by ESXi 6.7&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Please provide some details about the hardware model you are using.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Did you use the HPE customized ESXi image - which contains HPE specific drivers - for the upgrade/installation?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;André&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thx for the answer.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes this is one of the mysteries with Vmware support matrix.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We are running Vsphere 6.7 on HPE BL465 Gen8 with Opteron 6376 CPUS and NC532i Nics and Qlogic QLA2462 HBAs.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes, it is correct the NC 551i is not on the 6.7 matrix, so we did the further tests with NC532i&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Tried both latest HPE Image and Vmware Image.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;While the BL465 Gen 8 is not supported with Vsphere 6.7 , all the installed Hardware in BL465 Gen8 is supported.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So what is not supported&amp;nbsp; (The metal Case or the Logo &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://communities.vmware.com/html/@DCF4E2F7991292CEECF250394DB2C2BC/emoticons/1f642.png" alt=":slightly_smiling_face:" title=":slightly_smiling_face:" /&gt;&amp;nbsp; :-),&amp;nbsp; just joking)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We are interesting in finding out, why 6.7 is running on unsupported rather old Hardware and not on much newer Hardware.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;rgds,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Uwe&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Did you use the last Service Pack for ProLiant (Gen8 and after) iso to update all firmware/drivers of your server's devices ? Maybe it can improves the behaviour with ESXi 6.7&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I recently had issues with new ProLiant Gen10 and ESXi 6.7 and the Service Pack resolved some stuffs.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Be careful to download the Service Pack for Pre Gen 8 if you have Gen 8 or less, or Gen9plus if you have Gen 9 or Gen 10.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Here's the link for the latest SPP for Gen 9Plus version : &lt;A href="http://h17007.www1.hpe.com/us/en/enterprise/servers/products/service_pack/spp/index.aspx" title="http://h17007.www1.hpe.com/us/en/enterprise/servers/products/service_pack/spp/index.aspx"&gt;Service Pack for ProLiant | Hewlett Packard Enterprise&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Here's the link for the Gen8 version : &lt;A href="http://h17007.www1.hpe.com/us/en/enterprise/servers/products/service_pack/spp/index.aspx?version=Gen8.1" title="http://h17007.www1.hpe.com/us/en/enterprise/servers/products/service_pack/spp/index.aspx?version=Gen8.1"&gt;Service Pack for ProLiant | Hewlett Packard Enterprise&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
