Hi guys!
I have a problem in my server.
It was running esxi 4.1 and yesterday i upgraded at 5.0. All was ok.
Now, i find a problem with the compatibility between one of my network card. My server have two networks cards with two slot each one, adding a total of four target. I hoped to put you in the situation.
Then, this server have a Intel 82575EB gigabit network connection and one Intel 82571EB gigabit ehternet controller.
In the second target, 82571EB, appear vmnic2 how DOWN, and i dont know why.
Make sure you've set the ESX vmnic and physical switchport to auto-negotiation and full-duplex. You can configure the vmnics in the vSwitch properties or via esxcfg-nics -a vmnic2 from the ESXi shell.
Then use this from the ESXi shell over SSH to confirm the settings, it should look like this:
# ethtool vmnic2
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
Duplex: Full
If you occasionally end up with no link or a speed of 100Mbit, it might be a hardware issue like a faulty cable.
Hi guys!!
Have anybody any request for me?
Thanks!
Hello,
Could you post the output of the below commands please.?
# vmware -vl
#esxcfg-nics -l
#ethtool -i grep vmnicX
replace x with ( nic number ) eg vmnic0
#vmkchdev -l grep vmnicX
Thanks,
Avinash

The grep command is not running well ...
Thanks!
Can you switch the cable from working nic to one which is down and then we should be able to isolate the issue.
