VI 3 Installation - NIC problems

Hello,

in order to install VMWare Vi 3 on our server (Supermicro) with an Intel Megaraid SAS Controller and an intel pro 1000 MT Dual Port NIC we get the message that there is no supported network interface.

There are no other cards inside and we tried to start the machine with an ubuntu LiveCD and the NIC worked fine.

Is there any hint i can use to get it running?

Bye and thanks!

Hi there,

thanks for your answer.

We tried to install 3.0.2 and 3.5. All cards (Intel MegaRaid and Intel Pro 1000 MT Dual Port) are listed as supported in the I/O Guide.

Bye
