Hi,

We have purchased brand new Cisco Servers and installed esxi 6.5 u2.When I m going though I/O compatibility for HBA,but I did not find right HBA drivers compatibility for Hosts since I did not find any list of HBA’s  supported with respect to 02c7(SSID)

Current installed HBA driver version is 2.1.73.0 and FW is 8.07.12 (d0d5).

Server Model : UCSC-C240-M5s

ESXi version : 6.5 u2

HBA Adapter Model : QLogic Corp 2700 Series 16/32Gb Fibre Channel to PCIe Adapter(Cisco QLE2692 Dual Port 16Gb FC to PCIe Gen3 x8 Adapter for QLE2692)
