Enabling SR-IOV

Hi,

I have a Fujitsu RX2540 Server.  We have purchased additional Fujitsu D2755 NIC's that will be configured for SR-IOV.  I have enabled SR-IOV in the BIOS, but when I try to enable it via the web client I get the below error...

It states try setting it to Auto Negotiation, but this is not an option when click the drop down box.  As far as I'm aware the cards are on the VMware compatibility list (So I'm told).  As anybody had a similar issue when trying to set the configured speed to Auto Negotiation?

I'm running ESXi 5.5

Many thanks.

The device may be on the HCL but you also may need to download drivers manually and install them.  You can find the drivers you need for your version of vsphere on the HCL site...

Hello Sir,


1. Please update the drivers for the NIC.

2. Have you tried the same from C# client / Command Line?
