ESXi6.5u1 with HPE Gen10 blade.

[nadupalliramesh]

Hello,

I am trying to install ESXi 6.5u1 using the latest HPE image on a Gen10 blade that has HP FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 630FLB Adapter. During the installation its unable to find the nics and aborting the installation. I have been trying various combinations where downgraded the firmwares on the blade, also tried installing using ESXI6.0 or 6.5 images. None of them gave me any success. Anyone experienced this type of issue?

Thanks

Ramesh

About two weeks ago, HPE discovered an issue with certain network adapters, and their latest custom images (with a certain driver). For that reason the custom ESXi image was replaced by a new one, which unfortunately doesn't contain these network drivers, i.e. doesn't support certain network adapters. see http://h20565.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-a00028272en_us

I have come across this advisory. Also, had a call with HPE tech support team, according to him they will be releasing a new vmware image including the drivers tomorrow. Hope it works.
