Hi,
Recently we been upgrading our environment to 6.7 , at the same time we also patched/updated drivers and firmware to supported versions.
After this upgrade we have seen issues with VMs intermittent lose network connectivity after a vMotion.
The remedy is to manually migrate the VM to some other random host.
Environment :
ESX 6.7 U1
HPE C7000
BL460 Gen10
HPE FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 650FLB Adapter
HPE VC 4.62
We actually had the same problem a year ago and then we managed to solve this with using a specific combination of firmware/driver for the 650 adapter + Flex VC.
VMs intermittent loses network connectivity.
Combination we have to day where we do see the problem :
We have a case with both VMware and HPE , but it feels like they don't have a clue on how to solve this.
We have very standard hardware/setup so I think many people round the world must have the same problem as we do?
Maybe someone has a solution?
Regards
Johan
Hi
Identify currently running NIC Card Driver Version on ESXi Host with below esxcli command line.
esxcli network nic get -n vmnic0
Hi Diego,
Driver version is 12.0.1115.0 , which we have problems with.
We also tested 11.4.1255.0....

Do you any NSX / VShield running. I have seen such behaviour with Vshield manager and NSX few times...
Also what type of NICS are VM using.
Check which firmware version you're on.
no NSX or vShield.
Tried both supported firmware versions. See above
Regards
Johan
