HI there,
I have esxi 5.5 running on DELL 2950. 1 of the Nic is Intel I350-T4, I have installed the driver igb-5.2.7-1331820-offline_bundle-2157967.zip. When I run "lspci" I can view on ssh terminal as below
0000:0a:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection [vmnic2]
0000:0a:00.1 Network controller: Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection [vmnic3]
0000:0a:00.2 Network controller: Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection [vmnic4]
0000:0a:00.3 Network controller: Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection [vmnic5]
Also when I run vmkload_mod -l | grep -i igb I get
igb 0 176
But I can't view and configure on vpshere client. Any suggestions ?
Thank you in advance.
Any insights on this ?
Did Driver is matching with the same card. Please do refer this VMware Compatibility Guide: I/O Device Search
I found this driver can be update first then give a try
Intel NIC I210/I350-T2/I350-T4 Driver for Vmware ESXi 5.5 - ThinkServer RS140 - Lenovo Support (US)
Thank you for your response
I have actually tried all the drivers below on the VMware you have sent and the one that is mentioned on lenovas page is actually one of the drivers that is on VMware site
ESXi 5.5 igb version 5.2.7 0.93 Partner Async
ESXi 5.5 igb version 5.2.5 N/A Partner Async
ESXi 5.5 igb version 5.0.5.1 N/A Partner Async
ESXi 5.5 igb version 4.2.16.8 N/A Partner Async
Any other inputs ?
The igb driver is prone to experience an issue related to NVM checksum. Check /var/log/vmkernel.log for messages containing:
igb 0000:0a:00.0: The NVM Checksum Is Not Valid
If the NVM issue exists, you might look here for information on using a manufacturer utility to fix the NVM issue:
