QLogic 2560 FC does not show up in VMWARE ESX 6.7

Experts,

I have QLogic 2560 FC card and i would like to use with ESX6.7 but seems like its not detected. I dont see in under networking or storage. I would like to use for storage with SAS.

What I can see only is:

0000:04:00.0 Serial bus controller Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp ISP2532-based 8Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express HBA [vmhba2]

         Class 0c04: 1077:2532

Is there any way to resolve this? thank you

  1. Posted in wrong forum.
  2. There is also no such OS as "ESX 6.7". You probably mean ESXi 6.7. ESX and ESXi are two totally different hypervisors.
  3. You will need to ensure you have one of the referenced versions of the qlnativefc driver for ESXi.
  4. You can find the available VIBs installed on ESXi with esxcli software vib list.

thanks, "ESXi" has the default driver in the latest image, after banging my head into wall I found the issue was Dell R720 - not the "ESXi" 6.7 -exactly bios and enable the driver for a card - hope this will make a life easier for another person

if I want to ask q question about ISCSI shared storage what forum that will be ?
