ESXI not seeing all network cards

[finsfree]

I am in a lab environment and I ran into my first issue.

I'm running ESXi host inside of VMware Workstation. Yes, a hypervisor inside of a hypervisor. I have created 10 network interface cards for this one particular VM (ESXi).

When I boot up the ESXi host inside of VMware Workstation, I only see 1 NIC.

Why I'm I only seeing one network card?

Sorry I was showing the wrong VM settings. Here you go.

Shutdown the ESXi host and took a look at the vmx configuration file. The NIC that is working will have an extra line of configuration:

ethernet0.virtualDev = “e1000”

Add ethernetX.virtualDev = “e1000” for each of the other ethernet adapters and restart

Thant should fix it
