ESXi 6.5.0-U2 (Build 8294253): adding 11th network adapter failed

Hi,

Host: 6.5.0 Update 2 (Build 8294253)

VM Guest: Ubuntu 16.04

I have already had 10 network adapters created and running ok.

(I'm able to boot up the VM Guest and use all of 10 network adapstors).

When I tried to add the 11th network adapters to this VM.

I would get error message:

Failed to reconfigure virtual machine 250-TCL-V1. Number of virtual devices exceeds the maximum for a given controller. - dismiss

vSphere 6.5 Update 1 Configuration Maximums

Networking Virtual Devices (    Virtual NICs per virtual machine)

10 Any combination of supported virtual NICs
