Esxi network driver version

vCenter version: 7.03 build 20150588

(6) Esxi servers: VMware ESXi, 7.0.3, 20328353

I applied a network driver on all of the six node vsan cluster. Of the six servers four are correct and two are not.

Here is an example of one server with the correct version:
We want the Version to be 218.0.62.0

[root@esx0101:~] esxcli network nic get -n vmnic7

[root@esx0101:~]

We have two servers that look like this note the version, 222.0.155.0

The question is how do we revert to 218.0.62.0?

[root@esx0103:~] esxcli network nic get -n vmnic7
