Is there any resolution or alternative NICs and drivers that support FCoE in ESXi 6.5 and later ?
- Intel does not support FCoE for these drivers from VMware ESXi 6.5 and later:
- ixgbe
- ixgben
- Intel will not support FCoE on ixgben drivers for ESXi 6.0 or earlier releases, should they be made available in the future.
- Intel DCB is not supported in VMware ESXi 6.5 and later, as the only use-case for DCB in VMware ESXi 6.5 is FCoE.
- The Software FCoE feature provided by VMware is not supported when using Intel network controllers.
