Hey
I'm new to the forum, so please don't kill me.
I'v got problem with the esxi 5.5 or 6 Installation disk. It's not detection my Nic . I've read sites and forums. Did what they instruct me to do, but still not working. I've download customs esxi, Build my own esxi custom disk, replace the Driver for the Nic in the ISO. Please note, that driver of the Nic is in the Esxi 5.5 and 6 iso.
The NIC is Broadcom , bcm5720.
Server is: HP Microserver gen8
i'm really starting to run out of options and don't know what to do next. I want to get this working so that I can start learning for my VCA.
Thank you.
Hello,
according to the HP/VMware Support Matrix (VMware from HP Certification and Support | HP®) you should be able to install this server with the HP(E) Customized Installation ISO which is available here:

Have you already tried this image?

Hello Peerz
Thank you for the respons. I have downloaded the file and no luck.
Please see Photo of my error.
What is the driver/FW version you are running for that card?
Hi Adamwiso
The Driver is BCM5720. but i have notice that the driver is on ESXi disk, why is the Esxi installation not seeing that that is the right driver?

Just guessing ... Is the NIC maybe disabled in BIOS?
Have you tried updating firmware of the Microserver to the latest?
