Hello,
Im running a Dell R610 with ESXi 6
I have a 4 port 1gb Nic card I'm using for the VMs and management network.
I also have 2x fibre cards installed in the server....
They show up under storage adaptors but I'm not running a SAN nor have any plans too. Is there any way I can use these fibre ports for additional NIC adaptors instead?? I can't seem to find any info online.
You can pull the fiber cards out and put additional Nic cards in the slots.
I did think of that but that wasn't the question asked.
Can I not use Fibre for networking on ESXi? I can't see why not...
You can't...
You can use the fibre channel protocol with your FC cards... IP protocols are not supported...
