how can I make USB3.0 NIC reboot persistent management for ESXi 6.5 running on MAC MINI 6.1 ...
I've installed drivers for usb3.0 ax88179 and plugged a thunderbolt NIC such that I have:
[root@localhost:~] esxcfg-nics -l
Name PCI Driver Link Speed Duplex MAC Address MTU Description
vmnic0 0000:01:00.0 tg3 Up 1000Mbps Full a8:20:66:36:34:5a 1500 Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM57766 Gigabit Ethernet
vmnic1 0000:09:00.0 tg3 Up 1000Mbps Full a8:20:66:06:d8:47 1500 Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM57762 Gigabit Ethernet
vusb0 Pseudo ax88179_178aUp 100Mbps Full 8c:ae:4c:fe:01:94 1500 Unknown Unknown
Since the NIC3.0 interface is very, very weak in performance (number of packets per second), I need to generate traffic across the first two NICs (default/built-in one, and the thunderbolt NIC).
Problem:
Setting the USB3.0 Adaptor w/ cli <esxcli network vswitch standard uplink add -u vusb0 -v vSwitch0> and then removing vmnic0 from vSwitch0 - won't survive reboots.
