Hi,

Quick checks:

BIOS > Could you see the nic?

ISO > Did you use a custom or default ISO for installing the ESXi?

Drivers > Any special NIC?

Logs > I would definitely check /var/log/syslog.log in order to see if there are issues with this one.

hi,

Thank you for your reply!

this is Official version of VMware,

4 servers of the same model, after trying to upgrade to version 6.7, vmnic1 is still not visible...

Have you ever had a similar problem?

Not exactly this one.

Why aren't you using a custom embedded image? It's always recommended to use the custom image as drivers are embedded in the ISO and avoid problems when installing ESXi.

If it was after upgrading to versino 6.7, maybe your HW is not supported yet.

Did you check the Compatibility guide? VMware Compatibility Guide - System Search
