problem related to the fiber optic card

good day engineers

I have a problem related to the fiber optic card, the server does not recognize it in the list of interfaces from vmware.

my architecture is the following:

Install ESXi 7.0.3 build 19482537
I have a Cisco UCSC-240 M6S server (It will go in standalone mode)
I have 2 cards installed.
A 4 interface Giga card (if it recognizes VMware on its interfaces)
A fiber optic card with 4 interfaces (does not recognize it)
Name: cisco ucs vic 1467 quad port 10/25G SFP28 mLOM


The interfaces vmnic4, vmnic5, vmnic6, vmnic7 are the giga interfaces of the card that I mention. But I don't see all 4 fiber interfaces.

The vmnic0 interface is the interface of the integrated ports that the cisco ucs server contains.

The fiber card is from the brand:
Cisco UCS Vic1467 Quad Port 10/25G SFP28 mLOM

The reason is, I have to create a port Channel between the 2 fiber optic ports to the switch. But I don't see their interfaces or I don't interpret them.

I have to build my vswich in Vmware, with these 10G interfaces for each port, but I don't see them.

Please can someone give me a light. Thank you

Please verify whether the VIC itself has been configured as needed, so that it presents the intended ports to the host. (see https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/interfaces-modules/unified-computing-system-adapte...

@maksym007 is talking about VMware's Hardware Compatibility List (HCL)
Anyway, according to the HCL, the device is supported.
