ESXI 6.7 was installed on the server. I am trying to update to 7.0 but an error appears when downloading "No network adapters". Server Configuration: model SG-3205-R, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5670 @ 2.93GHz, Network Controller Intel 82576 Dual-Port Gigabit Ethernet. I know that many network controllers are not available in 7.0, but the fact is that the license was purchased for 7.0. What should I do?
If your NIC isn’t supported for 7.0 and only 6.7 will work, you’ll either have to replace the NIC to move to 7.0 or downgrade the license to a 6.x key.
You can downgrade licenses yourself in the Customer Connect (formerly MyVMware) portal (see https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/81665). Once you are ready for version 7.0 you can then upgrade the license again.
