Hi AlbertWT, VMware have released a KB specifically for this KB:2044681 http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2044681 Essentially you need to upgrade the firmware and the driver, I have a BL 465c G7 too with NC551i using the following configuration which is working fine now; driver: be2net version: 4.9.234.8 firmware-version: 4.9.416.2 If you can get SSH connected to your blade by other means, such as using a Mezz Card? Copying the .scexe firmware file locally and running is much easier, if not HP Sum will do the job. http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=5033634 https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=DT-ESXI51-EMULEX-BE2NET-492348&productId=285

This issue reappeared for me when using the HP Custom ISO, the problem I had is with the driver version ‘10.2.453.0-2263645’ as is discussed on http://ict-freak.nl/2014/10/01/hps-september-vmware-driver-bundle-and-issues-with-emulex-cnas/ The latest driver from VMware for the Emulex card I am using is ‘be2net-4.9.234.8-2365770.zip’ dated 2014-12-17 works great. However Update manager does not detect this driver as an upgrade, so I rolled back the driver and installed manually as per KB: 2079279. http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2079279 Before carrying out this make sure that the firmware on the NIC is up to date as per; http://vibsdepot.hp.com/hpq/recipes/HP-VMware-Recipe.pdf The hardware that I have had the issue on; HP ProLiant BL465c G7 - Emulex Corporation HP NC552m Dual Port Flex-10 10Gbe BL-c Adapter HP ProLiant BL460c Gen8 - Emulex Corporation HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 554FLB Adapter Hope this helps.

We had this issue too with c7000's HP Flex 10 and ESXi 5.1, it turned out to be cached mac addressing in ESXi. As we had physically moved some blades around and assigned new virtual connect profiles, but ESXi retained the old MAC address that virtual connect had assigned it. Once the old profile is deleted the MAC address goes back into the free pool to be handed out, ending up with MAC address conflicts. The following KB was what helped me out; http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1031111 Hope this helps Ian.

Brilliant script thanks!! Does anyone know how to also list the logical folders that the VM's are in also please? I am able to use the following in the vCLI; $VMFolder = "Production" Get-Folder $VMFolder | Get-VM This shows me the production folder, but im trying to display all VM's and the folders they reside in, but i dont seem able to run it in the script. Many thanks Ian.
