What is the status of IPv6 on your hosts?

I saw some off things with the hardware status of IBM servers and it looked like being related to this issue:

Note, the above issue is resolved in 5.5u3, so it is probably worth updating ESXi to the latest 5.5 build if you can to see if that resolves the issue.

Also check the firmware on your IBM hosts.

Cheers, Matt.
